Why this exists

Why the usual lenders say no.

Your revenue is real. The problem is the form. Here is why traditional underwriting turns away healthy operators in this space, and what we do differently.

01

Undisclosed pre-need volume

Standard banks treat pre-need funds as liabilities rather than assets.

We work with specialized lenders who recognize the value of existing pre-need trust assets.
02

Lack of real estate equity

Traditional lenders often fear that funeral home properties have low resale value.

Our partners evaluate the operational cash flow of the business alongside the property value.
03

Niche business classification

Generalist loan officers do not know how to value a funeral home business.

We route your application to underwriters who specialize in death care industry acquisitions.
