Who Harborfield Business Capital works with in Brookfield, WI

Funding partners consider businesses across most industries in Brookfield, WI, from contractors and construction trades and restaurants and food service to medical and dental practices and retailers and wholesalers that carry stock. Each partner still decides case by case.

Paperwork partners commonly ask for

  • Recent business bank statements (partners often ask for three to six months)
  • Last year's filed tax return for the business
  • Government-issued ID for each owner
  • Formation documents and your EIN
  • A simple schedule of current business debt and monthly payments
  • A written quote or invoice if the money is for equipment

No two partners ask for exactly the same file, so use this as a checklist rather than a rule.
