Sobre Cardiff, Inc.
Escrito pela empresa
Since 2004, Cardiff has been dedicated to a single, clear mission: empowering small and medium-sized businesses by providing fast, flexible, and accessible financing solutions. We know firsthand that owning and running a business is hard work, and securing the capital you need shouldn't add to that burden. Because traditional bank lending can be rigid, slow, and overly reliant on perfect credit, we've built a streamlined alternative designed for the real-world needs of modern entrepreneurs.
Cardiff's philosophy is simple: we provide funding for your business, on your terms. We offer a diverse suite of financial products, including Working Capital, Equipment Financing, and Business Credit Cards. Whether you're looking to scale your operations, upgrade essential machinery, or manage seasonal revenue fluctuations, we have a tailored solution to help you keep moving forward.
We know that time is money. Our secure online application takes just a few minutes, with preliminary approvals often generated in under 5 minutes. Once approved, we can deliver funds directly to your business checking account as fast as same day. You don't need a spotless credit history to work with us. We look at the bigger picture of your business's health, revenue, and potential rather than just a single credit score.
Customer success is at the very heart of everything we do. We're constantly striving to improve our services and cut through the red tape, and your honest reviews are essential to helping us grow. Whether you've recently secured a working capital loan with us or utilized our equipment financing, we would love to hear about your experience.
Why Businesses Choose Cardiff

- When you need capital, waiting isn't an option.
- We built our process around same-day funding so you can act on the opportunity in front of you, not the one that's already passed.
Risk-Free Application
3-minute application, no credit impact
Checking your funding options takes about 3 minutes and won't affect your personal credit. There's no obligation to accept. Apply, see what you qualify for, and decide from there.

84% effective interest rate?!?!
Got an offer from them after applying and being "pre approved" for $125000
The offer was $39000
Term: 13 Months
Payment: $1,030 per WEEK!
56 total weekly payments
With a 3% Origination Fee
That's almost $20,000 in interest and fees on a $39k loan. How this is legal is beyond me.

Messy & Expensive
Two things... I was incredibily turned off by their reps in terms of pressure and wanting to get the funding closed faster. I get that they're sales people and I get that they're using scarcity tactics to try to close. But I just didn't feel comfortable with how much they're just trying to push for the close.
Second, the origination cost and the interest rate was incredibly high. As someone in the finance industry and a mortgage loan originator, 300bps closing fee plus a ~30% note rate on an unsecured financing? Holy moly... When I did the math, annualized interest rate could be higher than 30%.
I can see how they're paying for all the sponsorships and ads on podcasts with this kind of fees.
I was also concerned about them asking for my ID/DL over a text. Really? Not even a secured portal? I never really saw a bank-level grade tech infrastructure for servicing either.
LOTS of red flags went up seeing the numbers, how the reps are, and their tech stack.
I can tell they're going after businesses that are desperate and crunching for cash. If that's not you - you can find funding elsewhere that isn't going to cost you this high amount of fees and interest rate.

False hopes and promises
I was brought in by a broker with Cardiff who promised a higher approval limit based on my banking and financial records and when I made it to the underwriting call is was reduced to less than 25% of what I was approved for. Then, the loan came from Byzfunder and not Cardiff (the broker told me they were a direct lender). I was manipulated into taking on a predatory loan and I’m not alone. I am greatly disappointed in how they operate and have already begun encouraging others to look elsewhere. Their actual rates are not what they advertise and only serve to draw people in. If you want better rates, there are shady loan sharks in Vegas who are happy to help.
I am unable to reply to any review comment here but have made multiple attempts to contact Cardiff by phone and email to discuss my experience. All of these attempts have gone unanswered which further substantiates my experience of “fund and run” predatory lending.

Hi Jason, we appreciate you sharing this, and we want to make sure you feel heard.
Cardiff is a direct lender. In some cases, and with a client's approval, we'll work with a trusted funding partner when a client's specific needs call for it.
On the funding amount, a number of factors come together during underwriting, and the final offer can look different from an initial estimate once everything is reviewed in full. As part of our process, the terms are presented in full so that everything is clear before moving forward.
We know it can be frustrating when the outcome isn't what you were expecting, and we'd genuinely like to go over your experience and the details of your file with you. Please message us on here or reach out to your rep directly and we'll be happy to take a closer look.
