Laurelhaven Capital Group is a licensed commercial loan broker serving South Bend, IN and surrounding areas.
Picture a South Bend manufacturer on Edison Road who needs $400,000 for new machinery. One path: spend weeks calling banks individually, filling out separate applications, and hoping one says yes. The other path: work with a commercial loan broker who submits one application to multiple lenders simultaneously, compares terms side by side, and negotiates on the borrower's behalf. The first path burns time and often yields a single "no." The second path leverages relationships across the lending market and delivers options.
That contrast defines the value of a commercial loan broker in South Bend. Laurelhaven Capital Group does not lend money. We broker deals, matching businesses in Roseland, Ardmore, Gulivoire Park, Woodland, Crumstown, Osceola, and Lakeville with the right lenders for their situation. Our job is to understand your local-economy fit and find capital that works.
A commercial loan broker acts as an intermediary between borrowers and lenders. We gather financial documentation, identify suitable loan programs, submit applications to our network, and negotiate terms. Because we work with dozens of lenders, we can present options a single bank would never offer. A commercial mortgage loan broker does the same for property purchases, refinances, and build-outs, while a commercial finance broker may also arrange lines of credit, invoice factoring, or equipment leases.
Laurelhaven Capital Group holds the licenses and qualifications required to broker commercial transactions in Indiana. We serve businesses across industries: a bakery in Granger seeking working capital, a medical practice in Mishawaka buying its building, a logistics company near the South Bend airport financing a fleet of trucks.
How it works
Qualification depends on the loan program. SBA 7(a) loans typically require two years in business, reasonable credit, and demonstrated cash flow. Equipment financing may approve startups with strong personal credit. Commercial real estate loans hinge on property value and debt-service coverage. A commercial property loan broker evaluates your scenario before recommending a path.
To apply, contact Laurelhaven Capital Group at (574) 376-8218. We schedule a consultation at our office at 236 W Edison Rd, South Bend, IN 46601, review your financials, and outline program options. You complete one streamlined application; we handle lender outreach, follow-up, and closing coordination. Our fee is disclosed upfront and paid at closing.
Consider a commercial printer near the St. Joseph River that landed a multi-year contract with Notre Dame. The owner needed a business line of credit to cover payroll during the university's net-30 payment cycle and invoice factoring to accelerate receivables. A single bank offered one product. Laurelhaven, acting as a commercial business loan broker, structured both: a $150,000 line through a regional lender and a factoring facility through a specialty finance company. The printer maintained cash flow, fulfilled the contract, and hired three employees.
