Case Study · 01Established Business
Andrew was already running an established business in Orlando. Revenue was there, the operation was real, and on paper he looked like someone a bank should want. He had never been through the process of having that file prepared and put in front of anyone in a deliberate order.

Case Study · 02Med Spa
Brandy runs a med spa in Philadelphia. It is a real operation with real revenue, and it is also the kind of business that underwriters have opinions about, which makes the order of applications matter more, not less.

Case Study · 03Real Estate
Menard is a real estate investor in Hartford with multiple properties, and that profile is read differently than an operating company. Income does not arrive evenly, the entity structure is usually layered, and most of the collateral an underwriter can see is already pledged against something.

Case Study · 07Business Owner
Six products across six institutions, and the largest of them is not a card. A $120,000 line of credit from TD Bank is more than half of the $235,000 on this file, and it is revolving credit with no promotional period attached to it.
