Integrity First
We tell clients the truth—about their options, their credit profile, and their realistic chances. We'd rather have an honest conversation than close a deal that doesn't serve the client.
Client-Centered
We work for our clients, not for lenders. Every recommendation we make is driven by what creates the best outcome for the business we're serving.
Creative Solutions
Standard financing doesn't work for every situation. We specialize in finding non-standard paths to financing for businesses that need creative solutions.
Serving Businesses Nationwide
Standard Professional Services is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois and serves businesses across all 50 states. Wherever your operation is located, Raphael and the SPS team can help you access the equipment financing you need.
