Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the website located at directlendingconnection.com (the "Site") and the services offered by Direct Lending Connection (collectively, the "Services"). By accessing the Site or using the Services you agree to be bound by these Terms.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years of age and authorized to act on behalf of a business entity to use our Services. By using the Site you represent that you meet these requirements.

2. Services Provided

Direct Lending Connection is a commercial finance advisory firm. We connect businesses with lending partners, assist with underwriting preparation, and provide financing recommendations. We are not a bank or direct lender. Any financing obtained through our network is subject to separate agreements between you and the lender.

3. Information Accuracy

You agree to provide accurate, complete, and up-to-date information when submitting inquiries, applications, or documentation. Misrepresentation may delay or prevent financing and may result in termination of our engagement.

4. No Guarantee of Funding

Use of our Services does not guarantee loan approval or funding. Loan decisions are made by independent lending partners based on their underwriting criteria.

5. Fees

Any fees charged by Direct Lending Connection will be outlined in writing prior to engagement. In many cases, our compensation is paid by the lender. If a client success fee applies, it is due only upon successful funding.
