larger loans.

financing can be completely open with no pre-payment penalties. Again,
it really depends on the type of loan and the lender.

depends on the lender but typically anywhere from 6.5% - 10%.

us with the necessary documents to present to the lender.

us put it this way, it’s not impossible but if your bankruptcy
has not been discharged it’s unlikely that we’ll be able
help you secure financing.
Q. What If I Have Already Been Declined For A Loan?
Maybe
you were dealing with the wrong lender. You would be surprised to know
how many people we get approved who were declined by their local bank.
