Why VT owners choose Affirmative Funding
Same-day funding for Vermont businesses
Vermont's ski and foliage seasons create two peaks a year that local businesses need to stock and staff for. From Burlington to the rest of the state, Affirmative Funding underwrites on your bank deposits rather than your credit score, which is why businesses in Restaurants, Retail Stores, Construction and Agriculture get approved when banks say no.
