About Foothill Lenders
We know which lenders fund which kinds of Provo businesses, and we position your file where it fits.
One local broker, many lenders, and no cost to apply.
Picture a fabrication shop in Springville that needs a CNC machine by next quarter. The owner visits his bank. They say no, too much equipment debt already on the books. He tries another bank. Same story. By the time he calls us, he's lost six weeks and still has no machine.
A commercial loan broker Provo businesses rely on does one thing differently: we know twenty lenders, not one. We hear your situation, match it to the lenders who actually write that type of deal, and submit your file where it has the best shot. You save time. You skip the trial-and-error. You get a straight answer about what's possible and what isn't.
Banks serve their own portfolio rules. We serve you.
How it works
Our model: Foothill Lenders operates as business funding advisors Provo companies bring in when they need capital but don't want to become loan experts overnight. We gather your financials, listen to what you're building or buying, then present options from our lender network. You choose. We coordinate the close.
We don't charge upfront fees. Lenders pay us when deals fund, which means we only get paid if you get funded. That aligns our incentives with yours.
Most of our clients run operations between Pleasant Grove and Spanish Fork. We understand the mix: tech startups near Vineyard, manufacturing in Orem, retail along University Parkway, and service companies scattered across Mapleton and Lindon. Every sector has different capital needs. Every lender has different appetites. Our job is to connect the two.
Proximity matters less than you'd think, but local context matters more. When you tell us your building is near the Provo Towne Centre or your warehouse sits off I-15 by the Springville exit, we know the market. We know what comparable properties appraise for. We know which lenders finance Utah County real estate and which ones won't touch anything outside Salt Lake.
We also know the timeline pressure. If you're bidding on a competitor's client list or a piece of equipment at auction, you need an answer in days, not months. A commercial loan broker Provo teams trust moves fast because we've already built the lender relationships. We're not starting cold every time.
Three things separate us from the broker you'll never call back:
1. We tell you no when the answer is no. If your cash flow can't support new debt, we say so. If your credit needs six months of repair before any lender will look at you, we say so. You don't pay us to waste your time.
2. We explain the structure. SBA 7(a) loans work differently than invoice factoring. Equipment financing has different collateral rules than a business line of credit. We walk you through what you're signing and why it's built that way.
3. We stay local. Our office is at 412 W Rivers Edge Dr, Provo, UT 84604. You can meet face-to-face if that's how you prefer to do business. Plenty of our clients do.
Loan programs
Every funding tool solves a different problem. Here's the short version:
We also handle merchant cash advances, revenue-based financing, and franchise funding when the situation calls for it. Visit our Service Areas page to see the full Utah County footprint we cover.
work for acquisitions, real estate purchases, or long-term working capital when you want a lower down payment and a long amortization. Expect a process.
cover payroll gaps, inventory buys, or seasonal dips. Faster approval, shorter terms, higher cost.
puts the asset itself up as collateral. You're buying a dump truck, a printer, a forklift, whatever drives revenue.
fund the building your business operates in. Owner-occupied properties get better terms than pure investment plays.
give you a ceiling you can draw against and pay down. Useful for companies with uneven cash cycles.
turns your receivables into same-week cash. It's not a loan, it's a sale of an asset.
Our clients run the spectrum. A dental practice in Orem buying out a retiring partner. A contractor in Spanish Fork who landed a city project and needs bonding capital. A SaaS company in Vineyard that's pre-revenue but has a solid pilot contract. A retail owner in Provo looking to open a second location near University Mall.
What they share: they need capital, they've got a real plan, and they'd rather talk to one broker than ten lenders. If that's you, call (801) 880-5047. If you want to map us first, we're just off University Parkway near the river trail.
You can also swing by our Contact page for directions and hours.
Transactions end. Relationships compound. The contractor we helped finance his first truck in 2021 came back in 2023 to fund a building. The startup we connected with working capital last year just closed an SBA 7(a) for an acquisition. We remember your business. We track your growth. When the next capital need surfaces, you've already got a broker who knows your story.
We don't chase volume. We chase outcomes. That means sometimes we refer you to a banker if a bank is the better fit. It means sometimes we tell you to wait six months and fix something first. It means we treat your business like we'd treat our own.
That's not marketing language. That's how small business works in Provo and across Utah County. Reputation travels fast here. We plan to stay.
