GBExpensive but accessible Costs for loan are high, but the process wasn't too hard and the turnaround was faster than a bank loan. There were some stumbles along the way, so it wasn't as fast as advertised, but they did get things sorted out and get me the funds in a reasonable timeframe. If your business is too small and too new to qualify for a bank loan, or has revenues too low for the bigger "small" business loan companies, try them out - they may surprise you.

GBHighly recommended for any veteran business owner I've had the pleasure of meeting the StreetShares team in person, and they're a great group of people. Now, we've decided to work together formally and I couldn't be more excited. The process was easy, and I can see this being a powerful, long-term partnership. If you're a veteran looking for financing or to raise money for your business... STOP looking elsewhere and contact StreetShares. This is the best deal and team around. Plus, they're veteran led, and plenty of veterans work there. It's a win-win.

GBGood service, but... In general I had a good experience with Streetshares. Their rates were better than most other lenders, though the origination fee they charge decreases that benefit. The application process was easy and I have found since signing up that making extra early payments is easy enough as well. My only negative was the representative that contacted me to set up my account ended up being overly pushy to sell the service. When I stated that I needed some time to compare and check out their history he still pushed to close the deal. I ended up having to hang up on him. I did the research I needed and StreetShares did end up being the best option, but the hard sell sales technique left me with a bad taste. I would have knocked them down to 3 stars, but in this culture where anything but 5-star is bad I couldn't ding them that much for one incident when all their other service has been good. I'm not sure if that selling tactic is company policy, but hopefully they recognize that business owners need their space to make decisions.

GBAlas, it is another experience to put in my rear view mirror with regret... I thought this would be a great online lender based on positive reviews. Instead I must warn other small businesses from considering this option. It sounds good, but the actual experience is exactly what other low rated reviews have been confirming... you will pay high upfront fees. Incredibly high interest rate. And no loyalty from the lender for performance and track record. I wanted to like this company, I really did, but alas it is another experience to put in my rear view mirror with regret. Go elsewhere for your lending needs. Do not allow this business to take advantage of your growing business and rope you in with false words.

GBThe whole experience with Street Shares…Horrific Experience The whole experience with Street Shares has been dismal. The sense of urgency and communication was extremely lacking. After getting an approval then the whole process fell apart. False promises and the whole platform is flawed and the company seems to only draw/attract business owners/clients by touting veteran owned. Deeply disappointing process and we are only writing this review after multiple failed attempts to escalate to management our concerns. We are still waiting to hear back from the principal partner/owner/GM without success. Potential borrowers beware of this company and try other options and get other quotes there is plenty of competitors that will take care of businesses with a solid history like ours and others.
