OwnerCo Connect, LLC and our service provider partners may receive compensation for referrals or completed transactions.

Lending services are provided through licensed lenders. RM Financial, LLC is a lending broker, not a direct lender, and does not make credit decisions. Financing terms, conditions, and eligibility are determined solely by participating lenders and may vary based on applicant qualifications. For California residents: Business loans are made by licensed lenders in compliance with applicable state and federal law. RM Financial, LLC facilitates connections to lenders but does not make lending decisions.

Not all financing options available in the market are listed on this platform. We encourage applicants to carefully review all lender disclosures and loan agreements before proceeding.

Submitting a funding application through our platform will not impact your personal credit score. However, if you choose to accept a funding offer, the lender may perform a hard credit inquiry which could affect your credit. Funding timelines vary by product and lender, ranging from as little as 24 hours to several weeks depending on the type of financing and your specific situation. We work with multiple funding partners to provide a range of options suited to different business needs and qualifications.
