How it works
To get a loan quote, call (973) 730-8287 and share three basics: your industry, how much capital you need, and what you'll use it for. An advisor asks clarifying questions, explains which programs fit (SBA, equipment financing, lines of credit), and outlines exactly which documents to gather. Most Paterson callers receive a preliminary assessment during the first conversation and a formal quote within two business days.
### What to Prepare Before You Call
Gather your last two years of business tax returns, three months of bank statements, and a rough sense of your revenue. If you're buying equipment or commercial real estate in Paterson's Eastside or along Route 20, note the asset details and purchase price. Don't worry if paperwork feels incomplete, our concierge process fills gaps together. We've helped Clifton manufacturers, Fair Lawn retailers, and Hawthorne service companies organize documentation that initially seemed overwhelming.

### Next Steps After You Contact Us
Your advisor listens, then maps a funding path. You'll hear which loan programs match your situation, what documentation we need, and realistic timelines. Many Paterson clients apply for funding during the second call once they've gathered papers. Between conversations, your advisor remains your single point of contact, checking in as underwriters review files. Learn more about our broker approach or explore Paterson-specific loan programs before you call.
Who answers when I call Forgehaven Financial? A licensed commercial loan advisor answers or returns calls within 90 minutes on business days. You'll speak with the same person throughout your funding journey, never a call center. That continuity matters when documentation questions arise mid-process.
Do I need perfect credit to talk to an advisor? No. Advisors evaluate your full business story, revenue, industry, collateral, time in operation, not credit scores alone. Paterson businesses with complicated credit histories still access working capital, equipment loans, and invoice factoring when fundamentals are sound.
