Flexible and knowledgeable
United Midwest has an understanding and appreciation of the insurance agency space. Flexibility and the introduction of fresh ideas on how to look at financing books of business and agencies are important and welcome. It is important that deals are quickly analyzed to determine if they would be a possible fit after the initial analysis, and United Midwest and Chad have been very good about that. It is easy to say no; getting to a safe yes takes more skill, which is why we work with United Midwest.

Understood my business
I was looking to expand and diversify my agency business and United Midwest made the financing process simple. With the nature of the insurance agency business, other lenders wanted my commissions to be sent to them; they wanted to collect their payment and then return the rest to me. I wanted to maintain my own commission schedules. United Midwest’s SBA loan was the only option I found that allowed me to control my cash flow without restrictions. This has allowed my business to grow into other markets and provided a sense of sustainability for both me and my employees.
