30 Oct Start-up to Launch Online Business Financing Platform at Money20/20
10/20/15
Quote 2 Fund, an online aggregator and platform for small business financing, is eliminating the costly process of endless searching and paperwork by connecting borrowers to a nation-wide network of banks and lenders with a single, free application.
“The average small business borrower spends almost 25 hours filling out paperwork and approaching multiple banks and the sad truth is that 72 percent of them will be denied. For those whose application is approved, many will have to wait a month or more to get financed.” says the start-up’s founder Jules Dalsey.
To help borrowers locate the best financing option for their business, Quote 2 Fund has developed Quolify–an instant comparison, pre-approval app.
Now, borrowers can access real-time quotes in minutes and apply for one, some, or all available options. VIDEO
“Creating a culture of transparency in an industry known for fine print and hidden fees is no easy undertaking, but that’s exactly what we are doing.” continues Dalsey. “When you use our Quolify app at quote2fund.com, you’re not getting a simple, automated response. You’re getting a quote that sets realistic expectations and lays out maximum pre-approval offers along with rates, terms, and repayment details before applying.”
Lenders may also offer borrowers instant approvals and financing through Quote 2 Fund’s Quolify API technology.
The start-up company headquartered in San Diego, recently confirmed that Bank of the Internet co-founder Mike Berengolts has taken the lead of programming and development for the platform.
Dalsey has noted that many borrowers have fallen prey to questionable sales tactics. “When speaking to small business owners across the country, we find that many of them are being misdirected or squeezed in to a financing product that doesn’t make sense…The great thing about Quote 2 Fund is that we’re lender agnostic. In other words, our loyalty is not divided. Our platform users come first. And because we offer virtually every type of financing product out there, they’re being presented with more options–from SBA loans to alternative financing programs.”
For banks and lenders, Quote 2 Fund provides an attractive origination alternative allowing them to showcase their products on the Quote 2 Fund marketplace and connect with highly pre-qualified borrowers as complete loan packages or simple referral sourcing.
“Quote 2 Fund empowers small businesses with more options to choose from—at better speed and customer service.” concludes Dalsey.
