We look forward to working with this team on more transactions in the future.

Janine and Tia did an excellent job working with myself and client to get a difficult business+real estate acquisition loan to successfully close. Very happy with their prompt and timely communications with all parties e.g. borrower, myself, title, and attorneys. South End Capital and Stearns will be my go-to, preferred lender for all my clients' business financing needs.

The loan rep was wonderful to work with. Made the experience on getting a business equipment loan painless and a great experience. Went out of their way to make our loan request happen. We now know who to turn to for any business financial needs also will refer anyone we know in need of a business loan.

I test it and trusted it
And it really work for me
I'm happy with the South End Capital a division of Stearns Bank, N.A. and the deal I got from the company. Speaking with the service team helped me get exactly what I was looking for.

The only reason not to give 5 stars is the fact that I had to separately claim for the offered cash back deal, rather than it being automatic, and this info wasn't stated anywhere.

South End Capital/Stearns Bank displayed top quality service and patience beyond reproach!. There was a delay in locating the right equipment, therefore more time was requested. Stearns Bank was able to work with us so that the deal could close. Looking forward to the next transaction!

Noah Grayson, David Toye and everyone at South End Capital are amazing. I am very grateful to everyone at South End Capital for helping me--a (very) small business owner. They took the time to help me figure out PPP funding at the very beginning when those programs first rolled out and were very confusing. I would not hesitate to recommend them wholeheartedly!

Date of experience: April 29, 2021

South End Capital was extremely helpful in walking us through the steps necessary to submit an application for our PPP loan. We were notified today that our PPP loan was approved and will be funded soon. The responsiveness and nimbleness of Noah and his team is amazing. Thank you all for your assistance in these troubled times.

I tried several banks for my client before finally landing on STEARNS BANK. As always, they provided great care and patience to see the loan all the way through. I can't wait to send them more business so we can help more businesses.

Thank you STEARNS BANK!

Getting my client funded for their equipment finance needs with South End Capital and Stearns Bank was quick and easy. Austin was a big help and his follow-up was timely! This was the easiest equipment deal I have ever funded. I will definitely keep bringing my equipment leasing clients to South End Capital and Stearns!

When I started doing commercial loans, I didn't have a go to guy. I was fumbling around with few companies and didn't feel like I was included in the mix. When David became my account executive, he gave my deals the attention I thought was needed. He took time out of his schedule to enlighten me on things that would make me a better broker. I appreciate feedback he gives and the timely manner he answers my questions and concerns. Great guy.

There's not much to say other than Mike McGee and Sound End Capital are phenomenal. A Funeral Home purchase is virtually impossible to get financing through most lenders, but Mike McGee and SEC's staff never left me with any doubts we'd get it done.

Our business future is bright! So on behave of my family and staff, thank you for all the hard work. If you have a complicated or simple deal stop looking and give SEC a chance.

I'd simple like to say sincerely, Thank You!!

I am a new broker in the commercial industry and I want to thank Myron Alford from South End Capital, for being so helpful and courteous to me, while trying to learn the business. He has gone way out of his way to assist me in any way that he could and I so much appreciate him for being the kind and patient person he is. If he treats a fellow broker in this kind manner, I can only imagine how great he is with his customers. Thanks Myron!!

Absolutely awesome team of people to work with. My AVP from the closing division was exceptional. He went way over the call of duty. He guided me and stayed with me from start to finish. If obstacles presented themselves, he pushed, guided, and encouraged me through the process

SECC explained the process and delivered as promised. Staff was very knowledgeable and professional. I am looking forward to the next deal utilizing SECC services and resources. It’s assured they will help me achieve my business and financial goals.

Big thanks to my SECC team as I am now the owner of a very successful company.

After looking far and wide for an SBA product that would help me consolidate outstanding short term loans and reduce my debt service, South End Capital was finally able to get the job done. It required a lot of paperwork - but I now have a loan that cut my monthly payments by over 80%. Before the closing a few unexpected issues arose that threatened the deal. Rich hopped in and worked tirelessly to get the deal closed. He had exceptional follow-up and communications skills. Should I need business financing in the future South End would be stop one (and I have worked with many others previously). They were honest and delivered just what they promised.
