Swallowgate Advances is a licensed commercial business loan broker in Pasadena that connects local companies to SBA 7(a) loans, working capital, equipment financing, commercial real estate funding, business lines of credit, invoice factoring, and specialty programs, without lending directly or holding capital ourselves.
A business loan broker matches your company to lenders and structures your application for speed to funding. We assess your revenue, credit, collateral, and industry, then shop your file across our network of banks, credit unions, alternative lenders, and SBA-preferred partners. You avoid the trial-and-error of applying solo, and lenders see a polished package ready for underwriting.
Next steps: Gather twelve months of bank statements, two years of business tax returns, a current profit-and-loss statement, and a brief use-of-funds memo. Call (626) 243-2512 to schedule a file review at our 800 E Colorado Blvd office in Pasadena, CA.
Most Pasadena-area businesses qualify if they show six months of operating history, revenue above $10,000 per month, and a personal credit score in the mid-600s or higher. We work with retailers along Colorado Boulevard, medical practices in San Marino, contractors in Altadena, manufacturers in South Pasadena, and distributors near the 210 corridor. Startups may access SBA microloans or equipment leases; mature companies often fit SBA 7(a) or commercial real estate programs.
Action list: Confirm your entity is registered with the California Secretary of State, verify your Pasadena business license is current, and pull a free credit report before you call.
Clients deploy funds to lease warehouse space in Eagle Rock, purchase CNC machines for Sierra Madre shops, refinance merchant cash advances, hire seasonal staff, acquire competitor locations in Alhambra, or bridge invoice gaps through factoring. A small business lending broker structures each deal around your cash-flow cycle and collateral, not a one-size template.
How it works
Call (626) 243-2512 or visit 800 E Colorado Blvd, Pasadena, CA 91101 to start. We review your documents, identify three to five matching programs, submit applications in parallel, and manage lender questions until you receive term sheets. You compare offers, choose one, and close, often within two to four weeks for working capital or six to eight weeks for SBA 7(a) loans.
A family-owned boutique on South Lake Avenue wanted to open a second store in La Cañada Flintridge and needed $250,000. We packaged financials, lease letters of intent, and a market-study excerpt, then placed the file with an SBA-preferred lender. The borrower closed in seven weeks and used equipment financing for point-of-sale systems and fixtures.
