Karen is hands down one of the best! I had the pleasure of working with Karen to secure financing for our franchise's SBA Loan. From the time I spoke with her until closing, she was amazing. Karen's dedication to clarity was outstanding; she patiently walked me through every step of the process, ensuring my husband and I understood everything thoroughly. Thanks to her expertise and guidance, we were thrilled to receive approval from a great bank after being denied by our previous lender. Karen's unwavering commitment to follow-up and attention to detail truly made all the difference. If you want a smooth and successful SBA loan journey, Karen is the expert you need by your side. Don't hesitate to work with her—you won't regret it!

Karen helped assist me in financing my franchise opportunity. I now own a (The Joint Chiropractic) Clinic! She was extremely professional and helpful throughout the entire process. Highly recommended!

Karen has been an absolute pleasure to collaborate with throughout the entire SBA Loan application process for our FiiZ soda franchise. Demonstrating an unparalleled commitment to clarity, she took the time to meticulously explain every facet of the procedure. Remarkably, under her guidance, we secured approval for our loan on the very first attempt. Karen's exceptional diligence and unwavering dedication to follow-up truly set her apart. Do not hesitate to do yourself a favor and allow her expertise to guide you seamlessly through the SBA process.

Karen was simply the best. This is the first time I ever took out an SBA loan and she walked me through the whole process. She was very diligent about explaining every step and what was needed. To say she went above and beyond is an understatement. It is so important to have someone like this and that you can trust when going through a stressful process and Karen is a godsend. I cannot recommend her enough!

I jumped through a lot of hoops trying to obtain a SBA loan for my start up P and C Insurance Agency. Karen came highly recommended to me by someone in my industry, and she was top notch to work with. She was prompt, knowledgeable, acted as an advocate for me, and it's obvious why banks love to work with her. I will use her over and over again and will refer other businesses to her any chance I get.

Karen Newell saved our project and got us back on track. We had been rejected by Chase Bank, Newtek, Huntington, Ready Capital, and Liftfund. We went through LiftFund to try a third-party prep service, which ended in a $2,500 fee without refund and another rejection. Key Commercial Capital charged a fee, but only after they got us to our loan, and it was money well spent. Karen worked with us for 6 weeks and got us matched with a lender that gave us an SBA loan with better conditions than any of the other lenders' initial proposals. If you are struggling to get funding this is the place to go.

I spent a long time looking for a business, but when I finally found one that I was interested in, I was unable to secure the necessary financing. My friend advised me to get in touch with Key Commercial. I called Karen and spoke with her. The finest thing to ever happen to me was going through her for my SBA loan. She was very responsible and put a lot of effort into making sure the transaction went smoothly. She is knowledgeable about SBA funding. With 30 days left, she seals the deal. She worked extremely hard, which is why she is the best. She took the time to make sure I understood everything completely. She always had things under control.

We were lucky to connect with Karen. Prior to meeting her, we had two failed SBA attempts.After a few minutes of talking to Karen, I realized how knowledgeable she was. She gave options and was confident she could help.Our dreams are becoming a reality thanks to her!!She helped us understand the process, something that is so important for a new business owner. She checked in regularly and helped us get things done in a time we thought impossible. She knows her stuff! Never doubt her.Karen is a blessing to work with.

I do not believe 5 stars are enough to give to Karen. We are venturing into our first franchise with no prior knowledge of how to get an sba loan. Karen has always taken the time despite the time difference from Florida to Utah to answer any questions that might arise even on the weekends.She ensures that we always cross our T's and dot our I's on all forms even when they are not forms that directly deal with her. When the banks were slow to answer us, Karen took the time to contact whoever she needed to to keep the ball rolling down the field.This is the first if many stores we hope to open, and we plan on keeping Karen on our team.

Karen was awesome to work with! She had several lender options for us, she was confident that the process would be simple, and reassured us that we would get the deal done. Karen goes the extra mile to make the long process smooth! I would definitely recommend her and will come back to her in the future! Thank you!

Karen is an amazing lady and a wonder person to work with. We first called her in February 2022. We got Karen's number form a friend of ours that used her for a loan. We had already started the process with PNC Bank to try and get a SBA loan. It was our first time ever trying to get a SBA loan for a business. Since we had already started with PNC we thought we would continue with them and see where it would go. After 3 -4 week of them saying we are working on it, we are working on it. It ended up being denied for silly reasons. We then reached back out to Karen to get the job done. We got back in touch with her end of April 2022. She reviewed our package and suggested some changes that needed to be made. After all the work and help she put into the package and talking with us she submitted to one of her banks that she has a relationship with. It took about a week for the bank to get the package and look over it. We got denied by that bank, but Karen reassured us it was not the package or our fault. She had another investor lined up that week to look at out package. This new bank said it was a no brainer. 10 days later we had full approval with more money than the first bank wanted to lend.Overall Karen is a rockstar and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her.

I can not say enough good about Karen with Key Commercial Capital. If you haven't been through the SBA loan process yet, buckle up, it is a lot!Karen made navigating this process much less scary. She is so knowledgeable and helped me every step of the way. She knows the business inside and out and knew exactly what the banks would be asking/looking for. I can't think of 1 thing she could have done better to streamline my SBA application and bank approval. If there were a 10 stars option I would choose that, cause she earned it.Thank you so much Karen!Sincerely,TJ

Karen is amazing. She was with us every step of the way to help us secure an SBA loan. She knows exactly what is needed and exactly the best ways to execute. She took a very daunting process that neither I or my partner have very much experience in and made it easy. We could not have done it without her!

Collin Roof

Five Stars is simply not enough for the ABSOLUTELY amazing service from Karen Newell with Key Commercial Capital. We originally pursued an SBA loan through PNC Bank for a franchise start up who showed no interest whatsoever in working together and even acted adversely to the process. Our project and Grand Opening remained on schedule for one reason and one reason alone, Karen Newell. She cared about us, listened, worked tirelessly along side us, presented problems with actionable solutions honestly and professionally. She was our sheppard through the quagmire of the SBA loan process. It was only TWO MONTHS from the time I picked up the phone to close. We are operating and flourishing. I have her alone to thank. Call her and see for yourself.

Josh Jewell

Karen assisted us every step of the way. Excellent for any business needing financing options. Advocates for the borrower’s best interest. Highly organized and efficient. Great option for leasehold improvement financing.

My husband and I have had an amazing experience with Key Commercial Capital helping us through the application process for an SBA loan for business project construction financing. We specifically were referred to Karen Newell and she is absolutely exceptional!!!! There is so much involved in the process, including alot of language and terms that Karen was able to easily breakdown and explain everything while at the same time moving quickly through the process with us. We learned of and started working with KCC at the end of Nov 2021 and were able to get a commitment letter early January 2022. Truly exceptional and we love that Karen continues to work with us through the closing process.

Christian Jensen

Karen Newell at KCC went above and beyond to help my wife and I get approved for franchise financing and a construction loan with improving leased space. She put an extensive amount of time and work into helping us in all aspects of the process of approval, and we would work with her time and time again.

Key Commercial Capital was fantastic to work with and specialized in franchise financing! They offer both SBA and non-SBA Unsecured Loan programs and recommend the best suitable option for the need. Karen did such an amazing job at helping us through our SBA process. She worked very hard to find us the right lender who would finance our Crumbl franchise business. The whole process was very smooth, fast and she was great in coordinating and keeping us informed throughout the entire process! She was not only great at her job and a wealth of knowledge but also is just a great person too. I highly recommend working with them!

My agent was the best. She helped navigate a tough situation of a stalled project and coming out of the pandemic. She was relentless and continued to followup and connect me to banks eventually closing a SBA business loan. She was with me all the way until closing and helped to resolve issues as they came up. Very knowledgeable and would definitely use her again!

Key Commercial Capital has been an absolute dream to work with. It was so encouraging to have found someone as enthusiastic as we were that understood the ins/outs of SBA lending and **exactly** what we needed. Before finding Key Commercial we were trying to get SBA lending through multiple institutions we have banked with for personal finances for over a decade - it was a slow, painful process getting passed along from one hand to the next. I have never had such an issue obtaining lending when I already had a great banking relationship.I searched frantically online late Sunday night because I knew there had to be something better which is how I found Key Commercial. The very next day we were matched up with a true expert that understood our need deeply and matched us with an institution with a specialized interest in our business in a matter of HOURS. It was under 48 hours that we had a committed loan for our business venture and I couldn't be more sure that we were meant to work with Key Commercial & we definitely plan to work with them again on any future business ventures!You will not go wrong partnering up with Key Commercial and they are committed to you EVERY step of the way.THANK YOU for making this an easy, painless process for a busy entrepreneur!

I was looking for a loan to finance a truck for my new transportation business. As the investor and supervisor of the business, I personally do not have a Commercial Driver's License (CDL). I hired drivers who have a CDL and will not be driving the truck myself. Key Commercial Capital was able to help my business obtain an SBA loan to finance the tractor/truck. They explained everything throughout the process and made it quick and easy. Karen is absolutely awesome, she was always available to answer my questions and help me out even when she didn't have to. Those who want to deliver for Amazon or work with logistics companies should contact Key Commercial Capital.

Key Commercial Capital was GREAT to work with! I would give them 10 stars if I could. I had gone to one of the larger banks only to get turned down despite meeting, and exceeding all the criteria. I came to Key Commercial Bank and they helped me to secure funding in less than a week and the entire process was smooth and flawless. Their expertise matched me with the perfect loan for my needs and were great from start to finish through the entire process.

Martin Hall

I contacted Karen at Key Commercial Capital and explained what I had rolled over my 401k and needed additional funds for the purchase of an existing business. She took my information and walked me through the process and explained each step. I was able to secure the SBA loan (in record time) and close on my new business. The work Karen did allowed me to move up the closing about a week. Thank you.

I came across Key CC when I was searching lenders for an SBA loan, and it was such a blessing! At that time I was a little overwhelmed and had no idea where to even begin. My broker @ Key CC walked me through the whole process from start to finish. Having all the guess work taken out of the process made the whole experience go extremely smooth. I successfully got my SBA loan for my business and am in the process of opening now!

Thank you to the team at Key Commercial Capital for providing a meticulous and professional service experience during my SBA loan application process.

My experience with KCC has been extraordinary. From the initial phone call to today, I have felt very well informed and cared for. Karen has been the most delightful, thorough and efficient to work with in a process that can be as overwhelming and stressful as it is exciting. She has made all of the steps we are going through very clear and actually enjoyable. As we were sourcing other companies before committing to KCC, we can say that the process with KCC has been seemingly effortless and incredibly professional. It has felt as though Karen and her prepared and expansive network have been an extended part of our new company and we are incredibly thankful to have found Karen and KCC. Many thanks to Karen and KCC!

I usually don't provide referrals, but in this particular case it is definitely warranted. Karen jumped through hoops with multiple alternatives until we came up with a solution that provided what we needed. At one time i thought we were at a dead end, but learned that Karen continued to pound away until the right solution surfaced. If you need someone to assist up front with your SBA loan, Karen is a perfect choice.

Valeria Aleman

The staff at Key Commercial Capital was wonderful. They made sure to explain all our options in detail and were always interested in the best for us.

After speaking with several Brokers to help with our SBA loan, Karen was the only one who took her time and explained in full detail what our best options would be. The process was so easy, in less than 48 hours after submitting the application to the Bank we had a firm approval and we we're ready to close on the loan in less than 10 days. I worked in the Mortgage Industry for 20 years and I'm VERY impressed with the service Karen provided us. This couldn't have been any easier!!!!!!!!
