Why Nightingale

Local brokers. National lender network. No upfront fees.

Nightingale Lending was founded in San Jose in 2014 to give California operators a single source for honest commercial financing advice. We don't sell one product, we shop dozens, explain trade offs in plain English, and only get paid when you fund.

  • Real California team, not a national call center
  • SBA preferred packagers with deep Silicon Valley lender relationships
  • Transparent APR equivalent comparisons on every offer
  • Long term advisor, we re-approach your file as cheaper capital opens up
  • Member: San Jose Chamber, Women's Business Center of California

"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."

Cami P.
Owner, Avenues restaurant group
San Jose, CA

"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."

Marcus T.
Buyer, West Valley HVAC company
West Valley City, CA

"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."

Janessa R.
Owner, West Jordan family restaurant
West Jordan, CA

"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."
