Who we are

Whitman Funding Solutions: Financing Made Simple.

Running a business is hard enough—securing funding shouldn’t be so complicated. When banks stall and lenders set more hurdles, we streamline and simplify the process. Our team works for you, not the bank. We handle everything—sourcing, structuring, negotiating, and closing the right capital solutions tailored for your company’s growth.

What sets us apart is our ability to quickly understand the need a business has and how to connect with the proper solution.

How We Do It

=

Conventional & Commercial Lending

Our relationships run deep. We find bankers that know how to structure and get deals done. Traditional community, regional, credit unions, and large institutional bankers work well with us because we provide them everything they need to understand if there is a path forward and we help them to execute effectively.

=

SBA/USDA Loans

For businesses that qualify, we facilitate government-backed loan programs like those from the Small Business Administration (SBA) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). These options can offer favorable terms for growth and expansion.

=

Asset-Based Lending (ABL)

We can help you secure financing by leveraging your company’s assets, such as accounts receivable, inventory, and equipment. ABL provides a flexible source of working capital tied directly to your balance sheet.

=

Private Credit & Construction Financing

When traditional bank financing isn’t the right fit, we tap into our network of non-bank and private credit lenders. This includes specialized financing for real estate construction, equipment, and other capital-intensive projects.

What We Do

=

Debt Refinancing/Working Capital

Our team helps you restructure existing debt to improve terms, cash flow or secure new lines of credit for operational needs. We analyze your financial position to find the most efficient and beneficial capital solution.

=

Acquisition Financing

Timing is critical for growth strategies. We help our clients prepare as well as bring the lender that will be the best fit for the transaction. We help the deal team to stay focused until the transaction is complete!

=

New Banking Relationships

Sometimes a bank will ask a company to clean up existing debt or a company is simply seeking a better partner – we can help. We manage the transition, assist in negotiating exit terms to minimize fees, and find a new institution that aligns with your long-term goals.

=

Change of Ownership/Succession Financing

We structure the necessary financing to facilitate an ownership transition, including an exit via ESOP. Our guidance ensures your strategic goals are supported by a solid capital plan.

Your Advocate for Success.

At Whitman Funding Solutions, we offer expert loan structuring, capital process management, and strategic capital planning tailored to your growth. Trusted by both banks and business owners, we build successful partnerships while you focus on running your business.

Your Trusted Advocate

Navigating the debt financing market requires more than just knowing what you need; it requires a partner who understands the landscape and can advocate for your success. We serve privately owned businesses in the emerging middle market, typically those with annual revenues over $5 million and financing needs of $1 million or more.

Clients engage us for critical financial objectives, whether they are seeking to refinance existing debt, fund an acquisition, secure working capital, support a growth initiative or plan for succession. Many come to us because they need a new banking relationship, sometimes at their current bank’s request.

Our Approach

Our approach begins with a hands-on intake process to understand the dynamics of your situation and your ultimate goals. From there, we assist in preparing a professional financial presentation, ensuring your debt schedules are updated, your asset base is clearly detailed, and any potential legal loose ends are resolved.

We do the necessary “repair work” to position your company for a successful outcome, creating a robust loan package designed to meet the rigorous standards of today’s lenders. This preparation is critical in a banking environment where interest rates and credit appetites vary, approval timelines are extended, and underwriters demand more covenants and personal recourse.

Leveraging our extensive network of conventional banks, private credit funds, SBA/USDA lenders, and ABL providers, we connect you with the right partners who are actively getting deals done. We set ourselves apart by acting as the advisor we wished we had—operating with integrity, transparency, and a focus on execution.

You will get honest assessments, timely responses, and proactive communication. We provide a “fast no” if we cannot accomplish your goal, and we never have hidden fees.

Empowering Business Success

The Outcome

The result is a streamlined process that expands your options and increases the odds of a successful transaction. We provide the guidance and relationships needed to secure better terms, establish strong banking partnerships, and close your deal with confidence.
