About Andy Johnson

Ascension Funding Group understands many of the challenges that businesses face, regardless of their industry. One problem that all businesses tend to encounter at some point in their development phase is inadequate cash flow. Unfortunately, many businesses won’t qualify for traditional bank financing during this development phase until they’ve been in business for at least 3 years. Since, according to statistics, the majority of new businesses will fail and close their doors within the first 2 years of opening, traditional banks are of no help for most new businesses, creating the need to seek out alternative funding sources. For businesses who are less than 3 years old, have little-to-no collateral, have bad credit, or are in a high-risk industry, seeking business funding options for working capital, expansion, payroll, marketing, equipment, etc. to help you realize your business goals or to simply help you weather a financial crunch can be challenging at best and a nightmare at worst. In the sea of private equity lenders and short-term business loan funders out there it is difficult to know where to turn for honest, plain talk and creativesolutions that fit your current business needs.Your success or failure in navigating the waters of alternative business loan financing is largely dictated by the funding partner you turn to. Our team collectively brings to the table over 30 years of business experience in a variety of industry sectors, including the finance sector. We utilize that knowledge, along with our network of investors, to look at every business on its own merit and to creatively structure financing by utilizing an approach unique to YOUR situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
