What clients are saying
Each engagement is engineered around the client's goals, banking history, and credit profile. Below are real outcomes from clients across e-commerce, real estate, services, and SaaS.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
