In 2011, during recovery from the Great Recession, QuickBridge noticed that amazing companies, through no fault of their own, simply couldn’t access working capital for their business through the usual sources. Traditional lenders weren’t lending the way they used to. This was a problem. QuickBridge saw an opportunity to make things right by providing much-needed financial liquidity to small businesses who deserved it. Since a solution didn’t exist, QuickBridge created one. QuickBridge shaped a culture of fierce transparency, unrelenting professionalism, and an unwavering dedication to process improvement. Because what was there just wasn’t good enough. Through QuickBridge's commitment to innovation, we created a software and workflow platform that allows us to make smarter lending options available to our customers. Our innovative design made the application process easier, approvals faster and enabled us to service our customers much more efficiently. Little did we know how successfully QuickBridge would fill the lending gap. Our clients came back to us over and over, helping us become one of Inc. Magazine’s fastest-growing companies.
QuickBridge is a privately-held financial services firm headquartered in Irvine, California with a satellite office in New York City.
