Houston, TX

We're a Funding Brokerage.
Not a Bank. Not a Call Center.

We work for Texas business owners, not lenders. Here is exactly how.

How this works

Three things you should know upfront

Before you apply, you deserve a straight answer on what we are, what we do, and how we make money.

01 / What we do

We don't lend money

We match you with lenders who do. You fill out one application. We submit it to multiple lenders in our network who fit your profile. You get options instead of one shot at one lender.

02 / How we get paid

We're paid by lenders, not you

Our commission comes from the lender when your deal funds. You pay us nothing, regardless of outcome. No application fee. No consultation fee. No cancellation fee. There is nothing to lose by applying.

03 / What we can't promise

We don't guarantee approval

No one can. What we do guarantee is that your file gets submitted to the lenders most likely to approve it, and that you get a real answer either way. Not a ghosted inbox. A real response.

The process

How It Actually Works

Start to funded, from your first call to money in your account. No surprises.

1

You fill out one application

Takes about 3 minutes. We ask for your monthly revenue, how long you've been in business, how much you need, and your contact info. That's it to start. No tax returns, no business plan, no long forms.

2

We review your profile and find the right lenders

Every lender in our network has different criteria. Some specialize in trucking. Some care more about revenue than credit. Some do smaller amounts, some go up to $5M. We identify which ones are the best match for where you are right now.

3

We submit your file to 2-4 lenders at once

You don't have to shop around. You don't have to call four different companies and tell your story four times. We send your file and it goes to underwriters, not intake assistants.

4

Offers come back, usually within 4-24 hours

We walk you through every offer. What the factor rate means in real dollars. What the daily or weekly payment looks like against your cash flow. What the terms actually say. You decide. No pressure from us either way.

5

If you accept, the lender funds directly to your account

Money goes from the lender to your business bank account. We receive our broker commission from the lender. You owe us nothing. That's the whole model. It's clean because it has to be: if the deal doesn't fund, we don't get paid either.

Our story

Why we started this

Texas contractors, truckers, and restaurant owners kept getting turned down by banks that used criteria built for large corporations. The bank looks at two years of clean tax returns and a strong credit score. A roofing company that had a $400K storm season followed by a slow winter fails that test on paper, even if the business is completely healthy.

At the same time, the alternative lending market had real products that could help. But it was scattered, confusing, and full of brokers who submitted files to anyone and everyone without thinking about fit. Business owners were getting buried in phone calls from lenders they'd never heard of, with offers that didn't make sense for their situation.

We started Lone Star Capital Group to be the resource we wished existed: someone who knows the Texas market, knows the lenders, and works the file until something fits.

We're based in Houston. When you call, you're talking to someone who knows what a draw schedule is, what net-60 GC terms feel like, and why a $40K month followed by a $10K month doesn't mean your business is struggling.

Honest limits

What we are not

This page exists because we think you should know the full picture before you apply. So here it is.

Not a bank or lender

We cannot make credit or lending decisions. We do not hold funds. All approvals, declines, and funding come from the lender, not from us.

Not a lead farm

We don't sell your information to 20 lenders and let them compete for your attention. Your file goes to 2-4 lenders that we have already vetted and have a real working relationship with. That's it.

Not a guaranteed approval service

Any company that promises you'll be approved before seeing your file is lying. We don't do that. We tell you your chances honestly after reviewing your profile.

Not the best option if your credit is above 720

If you have strong credit and two years of clean financials, your bank can probably beat our rates. We'll tell you that honestly if it applies to you. We're built for the business owners that traditional banks keep passing on.

Our Guarantee

Every application gets a real response within 2 business hours. If we can place your file, we tell you what we found. If we can't, we tell you why, and we tell you what would need to change. No ghosting. No runaround. A real person, a real answer.

Our lender partners

Who we work with

8 ISO-approved commercial finance partners

Our network covers products ranging from merchant cash advances and working capital to equipment financing and SBA loans. We've gone through the broker approval process with each one: background checks, underwriting guidelines, commission agreements.

When we submit your file, it goes to underwriters, not intake assistants. That's the difference between a brokerage that has real relationships and one that just has a list of fax numbers.

Short-term Business Loans

Questions

Straight answers

The questions we get most often, answered without filler.

No. We earn a broker commission from the lender when your deal funds. If we can't place you, you pay nothing. There are no application fees, no consultation fees, and no cancellation fees. The only time we make money is when you get funded. That alignment matters.
When you go direct to one lender, you get one shot. One set of underwriting criteria. If they decline, you start over and try the next one, which means days or weeks of back-and-forth. We submit to multiple lenders at the same time, which means parallel decisions instead of sequential ones. It's faster, and it increases your chances of getting an offer that works.
No. Your information goes to lenders only as part of your application. We don't sell lead data. We don't send your file to anyone you haven't authorized. When you apply with us, you are not becoming a lead in someone else's database. You are starting a funding conversation with us.
We tell you which lenders reviewed it, what the reason was if we can get it from the underwriter, and what would need to change to qualify in the future. Sometimes it's time in business. Sometimes it's a recent NSF on the bank statements. Sometimes it's deal size. A decline isn't the end of the conversation. It's a data point, and we tell you what to do with it.
