Long term partner

Dealing with Accord Small Business Finance is always amazing! The staff go above and beyond to meet your business needs. I have been working with Accord for approximately a year and half, my business longer than that, and the staff have shown me over and over again that they truly care about our business. They do whatever they can to help us succeed and thrive. I would recommend choosing Accord over any Commercial Bank, as they actually get to know you and your business and provide workable solutions.

Respected

I have dealt with a number of different financing companies over a 10 year period. The easiest way for me to describe my experience with Accord is, the people there treat you with the utmost respect and will help you acquire what ever you might need for your business. As well as help you retain those items even if you happen to fall on hard times. Very professional yet you will also experience a true connection through the duration of your dealings. Communication is key in every aspect of life, and accord will not fall short.
