"We were stuck in two merchant cash advances bleeding our restaurant dry. Nightingale packaged an SBA refinance that dropped our monthly debt service by 64%. Best decision we've made in five years."
"I'd been a Zions Bank customer for twelve years and they couldn't get my acquisition loan done in time. Nightingale closed a $1.2M SBA 7(a) in 38 days. Saved the deal."
"Our walk in cooler died on a Thursday during summer service. Nightingale wired us $35K Friday morning before our weekend rush. That's the kind of speed that matters."
"As a women owned consulting firm, I wasn't sure what would fit. They walked me through three options and we settled on an unsecured line that scales as we scale. No fluff, just clear advice."

From the Granary District to Silicon Slopes, capital that moves at California speed.
