Top 3 Reasons for Choosing Celtic Capital
We’re often asked why prospective clients (and referral sources) choose Celtic Capital over other asset based lenders. Here are a few of the reasons we know are of greatest importance to everyone:
1. We Have a Flat Organization
Mark Hafner, our President and CEO is involved in the sales process from proposal generation through closing. That equates to a streamlined, and quicker, approval process. And because of Mark’s involvement from the get-go, more deals close from proposal to approval. There are no surprises to slow down the process. We take deals out from their current lenders and bring them in to Celtic Capital quickly and easily.
And once “in,” if any kind of issue comes up, senior management (Mark Hafner and Alex Falo, our Chief Credit Officer) is readily available. Our prospects, referral sources and clients always have access to someone who can provide them with answers, quickly, when they need them – often under a tight timeline.
2. No Covenants
We believe that business owners should manage their businesses to suit their needs and wants instead of to financial covenants. This can be especially significant if a business is struggling, is seasonal, or if the owner wants more flexibility in how the business is managed. Covenants can be difficult for a borrower – the borrower must be in compliance and report to the lender that they are in compliance otherwise the lender can impose remedies (i.e., tighter borrowing limits, a freeze on borrowing, default interest rate increases or even asking the client to the exit the relationship). Our focus is on collateral performance, not financial covenants.
3. No Lockbox
Many business owners don’t like losing control of their collections. That’s why we have a non-notification system which makes our deals invisible to the customers of our borrowers. Our borrowers’ customers will not send checks to us; they will continue to send checks directly to our borrowers.
