Set-up was a breeze - some basic information and a few clicks and I was all set. The rate of return on your investment is a no-brainer; I can't get that on any savings account, CD, etc. I logged in... See more

Nice, helpful product but expensive

The team is super helpful and friendly! They were very communicative all along the way. They have really great short term products, but it is expensive money, and the terms could be longer.

Amazing experience and customer service

Street Shares made the entire lending process a breeze! The were incredibly patient with me and provided me with all the information I needed in order to set up my account and access to the resources my business needed. I would recommend Street Share to anyone anytime.

Misleading initial offer

I found Streetshares to be very misleading, it was not the kind of loan that I want for my business to increase inventory. Loan amount to small.

Thank you,

More Options Needed...

My experience with the StreetShares process was a positive one. The one thing missing at the end of the process were financing options to meet my business needs. I was grateful to have financing extended to my business but I also felt the process levied all risk to me and removed all risk to the financier(s).

A refreshing approach to small business funding - support them!

Getting set up to launch on Streetshares is en easy process, and you get lots of help doing it. The really great news is you are guaranteed to fund once they've underwritten the loan and started the auction. The less good news is your interest rate will likely be much higher than underwritten as there aren't the types of lenders active on the site who care for much else than maximum return, and, the investors seek as high a rate of interest as they can achieve. This definitely isn't what you'd expect from the experience given the good nature of the Streetshares Mission and staff, but, support them, one day you'll be able to back business loans and the interest sharks will be out numbered!

Great idea, needs polish

two parts - online and in person

The online experience was OK, but the website could have been more upfront and explanatory about how the auction worked, blended rates, etc. But the website/platform had some glitches that were wholly unnecessary. When I spoke to someone on the phone they explained an upgrade was coming, hopefully these are resolved now. But for something having to do with decent amounts of money, that never should have happened.

in person - the first phone call i made to streetshares the person answering the phone interrupted me in the middle of my very first sentence to tell me they were transferring me to someone else. this is ridiculously poor customer service. otherwise the people in e-mail and on the phone were great - but that one very first impression was a very poor one.

Valuable resource for vetrepreneurs

StreetShares is a great resource for vetrepreneurs to get quick access to capital. Finding funding is one to biggest challenges small business owners face and this platform really fills a need in the marketplace.

Trustworthy

While I have not used StreeShare's services (yet), I applaud the company's efforts to help veteran business owners. A trust exists between veteran's that is difficult to describe, and improbable to find with a non-veteran company. As a prospective client, I am definitely more at ease with StreetShares than I would be with Big Banks because of that trust. I've spoken with the CEO on several occasions. His passion for helping people like me is evident. If I need financial assistance for my small business, I will be calling StreetShares.

Great Service

They listened when the banks didn't. They aren't a New York City super-high interest rate dealer either. My company was judged fairly and an equitable loan given. Would recommend highly!

Creating the way

Streetshares is a creative, available and logical response to an emerging market of entrepreneurial veterans. They are not only a great source of prospective financing, they are moving the needle in that they are visibly demonstrating the way that Americans can fund the progression of veterans as successful small business owners after their service.
