Our Story
Two brothers walked into a bar. They met their friends and the conversation moved to how small business needs help. The question “what can we do to help small businesses?” was posed & we realized the answer is simple. Small businesses need money & the support of a community to propel themselves to their full potential. So we created Ready Set Funds to provide capital through loans, real money through credit processing services & most of all it’s our mission to turn this into a community of success & growth for anyone and everyone.
FAQ
How long does it take to receive funding?
It depends on the program. For MCA’s you can recieve funding in as little as 24 hours, larger unsecured or secured loans should fund within a week.
Will applying affect my credit?
Applying to Ready Set Funds will not affect your credit score. We and our lending partners request what’s called a ‘soft pull’ on your credit score, which does not affect your score.
Can I apply if I have a low or poor credit score?
Absolutely. Focused offers programs from bankable clients to borrowers that are new-to-credit, or are non-prime due to any reason. Our lending partners take holistic approaches to underwriting and some do not review credit reports at all.
Do you work with startup businesses?
Yes, startups are limited to equipment financing and our cash-out program. Once you have been in business for 3 months, we can provide additional financing programs for the business.
Patrick Harmon
Patrick partnered with ReadySetFunds in 2019 to bring continued success in helping today’s small business owners achieve their financial growth. Patrick most recently worked for a small debt fund in Manhattan where he discovered a niche in the industry, “rather than take advantage [of business owners], let’s educate and truly help in an honorable manner”. With over 5 plus years of experience in small business lending, he has helped over thousands of business owners attain what all small businesses need- infusions of capital to promote healthy growth. There is one phrase that comes to his mind when working with business owners: The Capital You Need For The Business You Deserve. When he’s not helping business owners you can find him outdoors whether it be snowboarding in the winter, or sneaking in a quick 9 holes.
