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 cannot say enough about Karen and Key Commercial Capital. We originally connected with Karen in February 2021 and did not use KCC which was a significant mistake on our part costing us in time and money. Well, I reached back out to Karen in January 2022 about 11 months from our original contact and let her know our situation. We originally started the SBA process with a bank called Lending Club who promised us a quick and effective process and failed to deliver on everything, ultimately requiring us to find new financing. Karen was a blessing from the second I got on the phone with her I could tell that we were in good hands. She helped us navigate the waters and within 7 days we had a term sheet proposal from another bank and a commitment shortly after. We then closed on our SBA loan in March of 2022. I can not tell you how grateful I am not only for Karen’s expertise in the process and attention to our timeline but for the endless support and direction she gave us in easing the anxiety and stress associated with financing a business. Having a friend in this process who was knowledgeable and sincere was just icing on the cake. Without Karen we would not be able to start our dream of business ownership. KCC has gained a customer for life with the experience we had with Karen and look forward to working with her again in the future.

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!

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.

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.

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!

Karen with Key Commercial Capital is top notch! She was recommended to us after we had hit road blocks trying to find funding! She was able to navigate us in a direction so that we were successful.

We had a great experience with Key Commercial helping us navigate the SBA 7A Loan process last year. The team was very informative, responsive and helped us through every turn along the way.

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.

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.

I will certainly work with the team in the future and I highly recommend them.

Being with a Top 10 SBA Lender, it was my pleasure to work with Key Commercial Capital and an automotive client of theirs needing a loan to acquire a business and a property. Key is truly a professional operation and their assistance to their client helped to make the whole process from start to close smooth, calm, and fast. We expect to do more deals.

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.

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.

Karen Newell at Key Commercial Capital exhibits an exceptional level of professionalism and grit, which is truly refreshing in an industry where both qualities are often lacking among small business funding resources.

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!!!!!!!!
