About CFG Merchant Solutions

A funding partner that cares about your business objectives. 

What We Do

CFG Merchant Solutions (“CFGMS”) is a privately owned and operated specialty finance and alternative funding provider. We focus on providing capital access to small and mid-sized businesses in the U.S. that have historically been underserved by traditional financing sources. Businesses who may have experienced challenges obtaining timely financing are our customers, and we look forward to serving your working capital needs.

How We Do It

We are direct funders that care about your business objectives, and work with you to formulate custom capital programs. We have experienced first-hand the frustration in acquiring flexible and timely financing. CFGMS uses proprietary analytics technology, along with common sense underwriting to provide fast and efficient access to capital. We value our client relationships, and seek to provide the fast and flexible capital that business operators need.

Who We Help

CFGMS services small to medium-sized businesses that intend to use working capital proceeds in order to grow or operate their business. Whether a business is looking to purchase inventory or equipment, bridge seasonality, support expansion, or invest in marketing and advertising, CFGMS can cater a working capital solution that meets a company’s specific needs and objectives.

My business wouldn’t be where it is today without CFG Merchant Solutions. After a few years of successful business, I hit a rough spot. CFGMS helped me keep my head above water while I took the time to improve my business. I can’t thank them enough for all their hard work. Great team!

No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t get a small business loan. I had almost given up on growing my business when I found CFG Merchant Solutions. Within days I had the funds I needed to make repairs and renovate for future success.
