★★★★★
$45K · 5 Days

Secured $45k in 0% interest funding in just 5 days. The process was seamless and the strategic guidance was incredible. Patrick mapped out exactly which banks to apply to, in what order, and why.

$80K Unsecured

I was stuck with traditional lenders and getting denied everywhere. Stacking Capital got me $80k in unsecured business credit lines in under three weeks. Game-changer for my real estate acquisitions.

Strategic Partner

They didn't just get me funding; they taught me how to fix my profile to keep getting funding every 90 days. This is the most strategic funding partnership I've ever had.

★★★★★
$127K Stack

Approved for $127k across five business cards in a single application window. Patrick's bank-by-bank sequencing was exactly right. Zero hard pull damage to my personal credit.

★★★★★
SBA $385K

After two SBA denials with other brokers, Stacking Capital walked me through what was actually missing from my underwriting profile. Approved for an SBA 7(a) at $385k six months later.

Honest Counsel

Honest assessment first. Patrick told me I wasn't ready for a stack and gave me a 90-day bankability plan instead of taking my money for a service I didn't need. That alone earned my trust.

★★★★★
24-Mo Plan

The capital architecture document alone was worth the engagement. They mapped out a 24-month funding sequence covering 0% cards, an SBA Express, and a future 504 for our real estate. Nobody else thinks this far ahead.

★★★★★
CDFI → SBA

Veteran-owned business. Patrick understood my situation immediately — being a Marine himself helped. Got me into a CDFI lender first to build relationship, then graduated me to an SBA Express six months later.

★★★★★
Saved $40K

I appreciated that Stacking Capital pushed back on me when I wanted to take an MCA for working capital. They got me a much cheaper line of credit instead and saved me roughly $40k in financing costs over 18 months.

Anonymized case studies

Three engagements that illustrate how a Stacking Capital architecture moves a business from capital-constrained to capital-positioned.

Case Study 01 · E-Commerce

From $0 in business credit to a $312K stack in 11 weeks

Starting Point

$420k revenue Shopify brand, no business credit profile, two-year-old LLC, 740 personal FICO. Owner had self-applied for two cards and been denied.

Architecture

Bankability foundation built first (Dun & Bradstreet, Experian Business, banking relationship deepened). Then a five-card stack: Chase Ink Preferred, BofA Business Advantage, Amex Blue Business Plus, US Bank Triple Cash, Wells Fargo Signify.

Outcome

$162k in 0% APR business cards across five issuers. Eight weeks later, an additional $150k SBA Express line through the existing primary bank relationship — total $312k stack at a blended ~3% effective cost.

Case Study 02 · Real Estate

Bridge-to-DSCR refinance for a small-portfolio investor

Starting Point

Two-property investor wanted to acquire a third before selling the first. Conventional lender wanted full income docs and a 12-month seasoning period the investor didn't have.

Architecture

Hard money bridge for acquisition (90 days), refinance into a DSCR investor loan once the property hit a 1.30x debt-service-coverage ratio. Layered $75k in business cards for renovation working capital.

Outcome

Acquisition closed in 17 days. DSCR refinance completed at month four. Total capital deployed: $625k across the bridge, the DSCR, and the unsecured line — without ever using personal income for qualification.

Case Study 03 · Service Business

Two-time SBA denial reversed into a $385k 7(a) approval

Starting Point

Restaurant owner with two prior SBA denials. Underwriting issues: tax returns showed paper losses (heavy add-backs needed), DSCR borderline, no formal banking relationship.

Architecture

Six-month bankability rebuild — added-back depreciation, owner compensation, one-time expenses; opened a banking relationship with a local SBA preferred lender; built a 13-week cash flow forecast supporting 1.35x DSCR.

Outcome

SBA 7(a) approved at $385k. Owner used proceeds to consolidate three high-interest MCAs and finance a buildout. Monthly debt service dropped 41% relative to the prior MCA stack.
