“Sand Hill Finance provided flexible borrowing for our seasonal ups and downs.”
"We’d been in business about six years when we began looking for ways to increase our cash flow through receivables-based financing. As we explored this option with Sand Hill Finance and a few other banks, we found that Sand Hill provided a more flexible product and solution that required much less administration on our side.

"After choosing Sand Hill, we were up and running in a week’s time. And, while our borrowing has fluctuated with our seasonal sales periods, Sand Hill has never stopped providing a consistently high level of service, communication and connectedness. Because of Sand Hill Finance’s solutions and easy administration, we’re able to focus on what we do best for Brainshark."

“At Sand Hill Finance, your company is much more than a check box on a form.”
"A few years ago, we were looking to fund our continued growth plans. This was going to require a follow-on equity raise, but we were also looking for ways to leverage debt.

"Most of the financial institutions we talked to had extremely cumbersome procedures and requirements. Despite the paperwork they required of us, they didn’t seem willing to go that extra step to figure out what, exactly, made our business unique. To them, it seemed our entire business fit in a check box on one of their forms.

"Then we were referred to Sand Hill Finance. I can’t stress strongly enough what a difference Sand Hill provides.

"Sand Hill is priced competitively. But, more importantly, what drew us to this “partnership” was the fact that they took time personally to understand our business model so that they could be more flexible in accommodating our needs. That effort alone instilled real confidence. The entire process thereafter, from contract negotiation to actual funding relationship to even the wire transfer set-up was fast, easy and professional. We know everything is being looked after and processed correctly, and we are extremely satisfied.

"Further, Sand Hill has been absolutely instrumental in providing resources and seeking out the tools we need to accelerate our business success. As an example, when we began the follow-on round of investment, they went out of their way to introduce us to other VCs who would be the best fit for our organization. Because they’ve taken the time to understand where we are and where we’re going, Sand Hill Finance is helping us get there faster."

“Sand Hill is an investor in people.”
"We needed to accelerate receivables so that we wouldn’t have to raise outside capital to fund our growth. Sand Hill provided that answer with their Accounts Receivables financing – and they did so in a matter of days.

"Aside from the accelerated receivables, Sand Hill’s personal relationship and genuine interest in our business is truly exceptional. Sand Hill is an investor in people with the common bond being a trust and commitment to the relationship, second to none. The relationship is more important to Sand Hill than the capital, and they continue to bend over backwards to provide support and help any way they can."

“Sand Hill provides the flexibility that young, entrepreneurial companies need.”
"We had an existing A/R facility with a traditional bank, but because we were a small, young company, we couldn’t access the borrowing power we needed – the cookie jar was there, but we couldn’t get our hands in it.

"Sand Hill Finance provided us with remarkable financing flexibility and administrative ease. Sand Hill’s personal contact and ongoing interest in our company … their simplified contracts that allowed us to get up and running in about a week … and their fast responsiveness whenever we need to make a change in the borrowing structure is all geared toward helping us – the entrepreneurs – stay focused on growing our businesses."

“Sand Hill Finance is the perfect solution for any entrepreneurial operation going through the growing pains of becoming a professionally run business.”
"Before we found Sand Hill, we were struggling with a cumbersome, expensive and labor-intensive relationship with a large bank. To maintain our A/R-backed line of credit, the amount of assessment and analysis we had to provide was so stringent that we were spending too much administrative time for too little financial return.

"As a young company, we had volatility in our revenue and cash side that had us convinced we were a high-risk, high-maintenance case. Mark Cameron, one of Sand Hill’s founders, changed that thinking the first day we met him.

"Initially and most importantly, Mark found our business interesting; he took the time to learn about us and understand our company’s unique variables. From a financial standpoint, Mark and his partners at Sand Hill were not only willing to tolerate the volatility in our revenue and cash side, but completed the paperwork and had us benefiting from their line of credit in a matter of days.

"Since then, it’s only gotten easier. Sand Hill Finance is very detail-oriented and buttoned-up where they need to be, but they’re surprisingly flexible and understanding of our growing-pain needs. We’ve extended our line of credit more than once with just a phone call and a few sheets of documentation. The financial access is immediate.

"It’s largely because we’ve been able to rely on this “partnership” that we’ve seen our cash flow increase dramatically and our business move into a solid growth phase. These are great people to deal with on a personal level, they take the time to understand our market, and they’re a perfect financial match for businesses like us.

"If I were starting a new business, I’d make my first call with Sand Hill."

“Sand Hill Finance has a customer-focused perspective that is intent on meeting your needs.”
"We were young, small company looking to expand our cash flow capability. Traditionally, this kind of a solution isn’t easy to find, but one of our venture investors had heard that Sand Hill Finance offered unique flexibility in structuring credit for companies with our kind of profile.

"True to form, Sand Hill proved terrific. Rather than the hard-nosed deal structuring we expected, Sand Hill was interested in meeting our needs. They structured a relationship that fit in the general framework of normal credit relationships, but that framework gave us truly unique flexibility. And they were very easy to work with – they completely omitted the usual complex, paperwork-heavy process and offered, instead, a very simple contractual relationship.

"From the first day forward, the team at Sand Hill has maintained an ongoing and engaging, customer-focused perspective that is extremely positive and supportive. They’ve offered a great deal of constructive advice in several aspects of our business, and are immediately responsive and timely in any request we take to them. It’s been a superb relationship."
