Who Slateshire Finance works with in Lillington, NC
Funding partners consider businesses across most industries in Lillington, NC, from contractors and construction trades and restaurants and food service to medical and dental practices and retailers and wholesalers that carry stock. Each partner still decides case by case.
What to gather before you call
- Recent business bank statements (partners often ask for three to six months)
- Last year's filed tax return for the business
- An up-to-date P&L and balance sheet, even if you prepare them yourself
- Photo ID for every owner of the business
- Formation documents and your EIN
- A list of existing business debts and payments
No two partners ask for exactly the same file, so use this as a checklist rather than a rule.

- After you give the go-ahead, we share the request with suitable lending partners, and each one decides on its own.
- When an offer arrives, weigh its full cost, how payments are scheduled and the conditions. Accepting is entirely your choice.
