Loan programs

Here's what we broker for Paterson businesses:
SBA 7(a) loans remain the gold standard for Paterson small business loans when you need flexible capital up to substantial amounts for working capital, equipment, real estate, or refinancing. The Small Business Administration guarantees a portion of these loans, which lets lenders extend better terms.
Learn moreWorking capital financing keeps your Paterson operation running smoothly when cash flow tightens between receivables and payables. Whether you're covering payroll during a slow season or stocking inventory before a busy quarter, working capital loans provide the bridge.
Learn moreEquipment financing lets Paterson manufacturers, medical practices, and contractors acquire machinery, vehicles, or technology without draining cash reserves. The equipment itself often serves as collateral, which can streamline approval.
Learn morePurchasing a building along Route 20 or refinancing your existing Paterson property requires the most extensive documentation: appraisals, environmental reports, title work, rent rolls if applicable, and comprehensive financial histories. We create a timeline for every document, remind you of upcoming deadlines, and review submissions for accuracy before lenders see them.
Learn moreA business line of credit in Paterson gives you revolving access to funds, drawing only what you need and paying interest solely on the outstanding balance. Lines of credit suit businesses with fluctuating expenses or seasonal revenue cycles.
Learn moreInvoice factoring converts outstanding receivables into immediate cash, ideal for Paterson B2B companies waiting 30, 60, or 90 days for client payments. We also broker merchant cash advances, revenue-based financing, and specialized industry programs.

Forgehaven Financial combines Passaic County familiarity with access to a national lender network, giving you options no single bank can match. We understand Paterson's economic landscape: the resurgence of the Historic District, the concentration of healthcare services near St. Joseph's University Medical Center, and the logistics operations clustered near Interstates 80 and 280. When a lender asks about your market, we provide context that strengthens your application. When one lender's criteria don't fit, we pivot to another without you starting over. Our Glen Rock office at 11 Harristown Rd, Glen Rock, NJ 07452, Paterson, NJ is a short drive from anywhere in the metro area, and we're available by phone at (973) 730-8287 to answer questions as they arise.
