Pasadena Private Business Services
We provide financial reporting for businesses and high net worth families. Additionally, we are experts at business and financial modeling and assist our clients with creating financial models and scenario planning.
Privately Funded by Entrepreneurs
Created in 2018, Pasadena Private Lending is a non-bank lender focused on lower middle market companies. Unlike traditional banks funded by consumer deposits, our capital primarily comes from former entrepreneurs who have sold their companies and want to invest in the next generation of risk takers. These business owners have entrusted us to bring them a fair return on their money by helping other entrepreneurs grow their business.
What this means for you:
- Your reputation and track record count.
- We are able to make common sense decisions.
- You don’t experience red tape and fine print.
- We don’t force you to move your deposit accounts.
If you are a successful entrepreneur who needs prompt and specialized financing, we encourage you to explore what Pasadena Private Lending can do for you.

When working with Pasadena Private, you are working directly with the decision-makers.
What this means for you:

- 24 – 48 hour feedback and conditional approval.
- No hard requirement for time-consuming appraisals or audited financials.
- If your corporate records are in order we can normally close in 7 – 10 business days.
“It became clear that my bank was not going to move at the speed we needed to close an opportunistic purchase. My CFO found Pasadena Private Lending and the team at PPL moved quickly to secure us the funds we needed on good terms to get the deal done.”

Flexible Lending
Pasadena Private Lending is not bound by the rules of a traditional bank. We are industry agnostic, flexible on the use of proceeds, and adapt to your needs rather than force you to fit obscure bank rules that are periodically changed and reinterpreted by bank management.
What this means for you:
- Access to lines of credit, term loans, equipment financing, and mortgages.
- Customized payments geared to your cash flow expectations.
- Approvals based on multiple credit factors not all of which have to be perfect.
- Flexibility and creativity in how we evaluate credit risk by considering factors such as profits, collateral, experience, and net worth.
- Greater discretion over how you choose to use proceeds.
Typical Loan Purpose
We make creative, flexible, and fair loans to successful entrepreneurs for a variety of business purposes.
Acquisitions
Acquisition loans can help your company buy another business or cover significant capital expenditures.
Growth
Loans for the purpose of fueling growth including inventory, equipment, marketing, expansion, new facilities, and product development.
Recapitalization
Loans help align your balance sheet, professionalize your financial picture, enable acquisitions, or enhance the sales price of your business.
Owner Payments
A loan to owners can allow you to buy out a partner, fund dividends or achieve other objectives in your life. Prudent debt can provide liquidity without dilution or change of control.
Special Situations
Each one of our clients has a special set of circumstances. We work to find the right lending solution for each of their businesses.
“During Covid we had a downturn that impacted our bank loan covenants. When we needed our bank most their regulations made it impossible to work with them. Pasadena Private stepped in and very quickly provided us with the capital we needed to maintain our business. We are back to growing thanks to Pasadena Private Lending.”

Fair Rates
Why we can lend at lower rates…
Because we look at the whole picture, we can give credit where banks can’t and hard money won’t. That also means we look to owners to guarantee the loans. In that way we invest in a long term relationship with you, not just a “one-time” transaction.
What this means for you:
- Lower rates than most non-banks.
- Discounts offered to borrowers also using other Pasadena Private Financial Group services.
- Interest rate margins tied to performance (i.e. reduced when your business improves).
- Transparent pricing, no junk or hidden fees.
Pasadena Private Lending typically charges rates that are 2% – 4% higher than big banks but 4% – 6% cheaper than hard money lenders.
Reliable Partner
We deliver.
Our capital comes from our ecosystem of high net worth families and is further augmented by our institutional relationships. We have earned our partners trust throughout the years by delivering on our promises and doing the right thing. With over a combined century of underwriting experience, we make prudent and common-sense credit decisions that help successful entrepreneurs grow companies within the Pasadena Private eco-system.
What this means for you:
- A yes is a YES, we cannot get overruled by changing FDIC rules or remote credit committees.
- We are long-term partners in your success and through inevitable challenges.
- We understand the urgency of deal-making.
- Your success is our success and we hope that one day you will be making loans to the next generation of entrepreneurs.
