LiftFund is an organization that really cares, nurtures and cultivates their clients to be successful. In addition to their loan products, LiftFund is also very involved in continuous business education. The impact LiftFund has on the community can be measured in dollars but the real impact should be measured by the countless stories from the thousands of clients they have helped over the past 22 years.

Got a business loan with poor credit using my car as collateral. Higher payments than expected, but much less than pay day loan. Customer service is mediocre. Payments automatically drafted. Statements sent via regular mail. They helped me when others wouldn't.

I went to "my" bank and was treated like just a number there.
Lift Fund provided a business loan with very favorable terms, and the processing time was quick. Mr. Enrique Aragon was knowledgeable and very helpful throughout the entire process, start to finish. Would most definitely recommend Mr. Aragon and Lift Fund for the small business owner.

This is a great location for small business owners and freelance consultants who are tired of running meetings from Starbucks. Lisa has been so helpful in getting us up and running. I would definitely recommend this location for those who have outgrown their current location.

Mr. Enrique Aragon and Elvira were a tremendous help getting our business started. They went out of their way every step of the way, and now we are about to open our business in downtown El Paso. Without their loan, we would not be able to get started, let alone, about to open. LiftFund should be the first, and last place to go to get a small business loan. They were very patient working with us, as it took over a year for the city of el paso to finalize our space. Now, our family will be able to live the American Dream because of Enrique, Elvira, and LiftFund.

We couldn't have asked for a better team at Liftfund. Roscio and Liliane are a dynamic duo. They made the entire process seamless and much less painful compared to our traditional bank (whom we have a long relationship with). Liftfund have helped us twice. The first time when we were just starting out and no bank would want to take a risk in our business. Liftfund gave us a chance. They believed in us. We were able to build our inventory and grow our business. Now that we are in the 3rd year of our business, they have helped us again with a refinance. Of all the lenders I've worked with, I have to say Roscio and Liliane provided the best customer service hands down. I'm so glad we have a non-for profit organizations such as Liftfund to help aspried entrepreneurs like ourselves. We hope our business will grow even more so we can contribute back to the upcoming entrepreneurs.

Not a good experience. Slow to get back with us regarding very important questions we had regarding the interest rate on the loan and collateral required. The whole process was like they were giving us a handout in spite of the fact that we have excellent credit and great collateral. 13.5 interest rate vs 3.5% from our bank for a line of credit is much better than they could offer. I thought they were supposed to help small business women instead of adding more debt to their businesses. They could have been more friendly and forthcoming regarding the requirements they have and what their program is all about. I would not recommend this program to anyone trying to grow their business.

"...Already a successful businesswoman in 2009, Habib says she nonetheless found it difficult to secure a commercial loan amid the bank crisis of the day. A $55,000 loan from LiftFund Texas (formerly Accion) allowed her to expand her business and hire three additional employees. Her Galleria-area stores draw more than $1.5 million in receipts and she employs 20 people..." - Sue Habib | Houston, TX (from Success Stories)

Liliane Spenle from Liftfund was Godsent for our small business! She helped us through the entire process of getting all the documents submitted in a timely manner and more importantly, getting us funding to keep our business aflot! Thank you Liliane! On the other hand, the one person that was of NO HELP was Virginia at the local San Antonio office, Virginia took my name/number and business info 4 times and said she would get back to me, however, she NEVER came back with any answers. I am just really thankful to Liliane though, without her help, I am not sure what we would have done.

Terrible customer service with inconsistent messages depending on the reps you speak with. There was also no mention of this being a secured loan through out the application process. Took 4 days to finally reach some one who looked my application over. Would have been better off going with One Main financial.

Small business owners I would suggest you look elsewhere like PayPal credit, Square Credit, even Kabbage. This whole process has been an utter joke.

We were able to get a loan for our trucking business and couldn't be happier with Enrique Aragon and the entire staff at the El Paso office. They were very helpful and professional. We look forward to working with them.

We are extremely happy with the professionals at Lift Fund from the front desk receptionist to our loan manager Jonathan Sarabia. Jonathan was great at presenting the program and made it simple for us to understand the products that he had to offer. After meeting with him the first time I found a better loan product then the one I had in mind that saved us a lot of money. Thank you all and keep up the great work.

Beware when applying for funding with this organization. I'd suggest making sure you speak with someone beyond the intake/information reps to ensure they actually offer funding for the specific type of business you have. I submitted an application and they performed a hard hit on my credit (somehow they were able to do this w/o me providing my SSN, as I had not yet provided it), only to call and tell me they do not offer funding for my line of business. While I understand that they do not loan to my type of business, it would have been nice to know this before they moved forward on an action that affected my credit score and potential applications with other lenders. When I brought it to their attention, they did not offer any type of apology or compassion at all.

I own Georgia s Classic Cars And Restomod LLC

About a year ago I visited with Josie
She told me what I had to do to clear up some accounts on my Transunion account , she is very friendly and non judge mental .

This past week I again visited LiftFund
And was referred to Jonathan
We visited and he looked over my credit reports and asked why I would need funding ..

He told me what I would qualify for and made the process very easy .

He and Josie both are a great team and I highly recommend them

He is a great person that makes you feel at home and treats you with respect

Together they did the impossible and got me funded

Liftfund is a amazing place
They definitely help the small businesses in our community

Thank you on behalf of Vertical 1

I was starting my small business and needed additional funds for equipment. Enrique Aragon handled my case and held our hands through the entire process. He educated us on some Business 101 financials they needed from our business plan, documentation, and then stayed in close touch with the lending agency until we got our loan. He even found a better interest rate for us since our food has health benefits. He was patient and non-judgemental, something you don't always get in the finance industry. LiftFund is a great agency which helps the little guy. I could not have gotten the loan I needed from a traditional bank. I will be going back after I pay off this loan and then open another shop. Thanks Enrique and every one at LiftFund!

It appears someone used my information to apply for a loan with this firm, and when I attempt to contact the firm, I was hung up on, and I waited more than 15 minutes to get through on any of their extensions. I still haven't gotten through to anyone yet.
