What distinguishes Milberg in a highly competitive marketplace is a unique entrepreneurial management structure. Quite simply, the people here who manage client accounts are the people who make the lending decisions – are the owners of the firm.

It is this fundamental difference that allows us to go to extraordinary lengths to help our clients. Our objective is to build long-term relationships and, as in any long road, we expect that between the smooth stretches there will be hills and sharp turns. The difference is a track record of seeing our clients through. At Milberg, each turn in the road takes the relationship to a new level. When our clients' financial needs change, it is our consistent practice to sit down with them, work out solutions and see them through – often lending into situations that might scare off less knowledgeable lenders. But assessing risk is a proven strength at Milberg – one of many:

Responsiveness: As entrepreneurs, we understand the urgency of doing business. Decisions that can be made on the spot, are. For those that are more complex, the appropriate decision makers can convene within hours.

Creativity: Unhampered by rigid lending formulas, we look at the whole picture and, based on experience and judgment, structure financing that makes sense for the client in the context of the situation.

Experience: Our clients have access to guidance that is simply unavailable in other lending institutions. Any firm can lend money, but when it's a question of more money or an unusual business problem – or even an unexpected success – Milberg clients always have someone experienced to talk to.

Continuity: The commitment of the principals is supported by the long-term employment of our staff – the consequence of careful hiring practices and a policy of rewarding value. The result for our clients, over time, is an unmatched level of continuity.

Financial Strength: A willingness to commit our resources is underscored by deep financial strength as well as substantial available lines of credit.

Size: One of the largest factors in the U.S., Milberg is big enough to make loans up to $30 million – small enough to know who you are.
