Hi Searchfunder community, I wanted to share a recent success story that highlights how timely, flexible capital can accelerate growth—and how partnerships can lead to real impact. A Las Vegas cabinet manufacturing company, led by a CEO-operator who acquired the business in 2021, was gearing up for a strategic expansion. They needed $500k for their project - and we were able help them close in just 5 business days. The Connection: This deal came to us through one of my newest partners - his very first deal brought to our platform. We’re grateful for the trust, and even more excited to help him look great in front of his client. A true win - win. A Note on Reality: We love outcomes like this, but not every deal wraps up this fast. Timelines can vary based on deal complexity, borrower profile, and lender alignment. Still, we’re proud to provide a process that’s transparent, streamlined, and tailored to ETA operators and their needs. Question for Community: How do you approach trust-building with a new partner when their first deal is a tough one? I'd love to hear how others navigate that balance in early-stage partnerships. If you’re navigating post-acquisition growth—or advising searchers who are—we’d love to help you explore funding options that won’t slow momentum. Happy to connect. — Cassidy Wright Partnership Director, Lendefied 📧 redacted
