How We Work
Our Approach
We believe the best business lending relationships start with understanding — not urgency. Our process is designed to give us the clarity we need to structure the right solution, and to give you the confidence to move forward knowing exactly what you're agreeing to.
Every engagement follows a consistent four-phase framework. Each phase has a clear purpose, defined outputs, and a single point of accountability. No hand-offs, no uncertainty about who owns the file.
Begin the ProcessWe listen before we structure — understanding your business comes first.
Every term sheet is clear, complete, and free of hidden conditions.
One direct point of contact — Isaac Sasson — from inquiry to funding.
Your information is handled with strict confidentiality at every stage.
The Four Phases
Four deliberate steps, one accountable partner, complete transparency throughout.
Tell us about your business and what you're trying to accomplish. We keep this initial stage simple — we need the essentials, not a dissertation. Use our contact form or reach Isaac directly by email.
Once we've received your inquiry, we conduct a thorough review of your business financials, the proposed use of funds, and the appropriate capital structure. We may request additional documentation during this phase.
We present a clear, detailed term sheet outlining the proposed financing structure. No fine print designed to surprise you. Every material term is explained in plain language. You'll have time to review, ask questions, and negotiate before committing.
Upon mutual agreement on terms, we move efficiently through due diligence, documentation, and closing. Our goal is to make the final stages as frictionless as possible — we've done the hard work upfront so the close can be clean.
What to Prepare
Having these materials ready helps us move efficiently. Every situation is different — if you have questions about what applies to your inquiry, just ask.
Common Questions
Straightforward answers to the questions we hear most often.
We aim to respond to every inquiry within one business day. Isaac Sasson handles initial outreach personally, so you'll be speaking directly with a decision-maker from the first contact.
We work with businesses across a broad range of industries. Our focus is on enterprises with demonstrable revenue history, clear operations, and a specific capital need. If you're unsure whether your business qualifies, the best approach is simply to reach out and start the conversation.
We structure financing across a range of transaction sizes. Our focus is on ensuring the right fit between your capital need and our lending capacity — rather than rigid minimums or maximums. Contact us to discuss your specific situation.
While we are based in West Long Branch, NJ, and have particular depth in the New Jersey and broader Northeast market, we do consider transactions beyond our immediate geography for the right opportunities. We encourage inquiries from businesses in other markets.
17 Larchwood Partners LLC is a direct lender. This means we fund transactions from our own capital — there are no intermediaries, no third-party lender approvals to wait on, and no broker fees layered into your transaction. You deal with us, and we deal directly.
If after review we determine that a financing structure doesn't make sense for your business's current circumstances, we'll tell you directly and honestly — and, where possible, share what would need to change for a future engagement to work. We don't believe in stringing along relationships that aren't right.
Submit an inquiry or send Isaac a direct email. We'll respond within one business day.
