Eugene, OR · Commercial loan broker
78% of Eugene small businesses that closed a commercial loan in 2023 compared at least three financing structures before signing.
Funding your Eugene business: one application, a file built for approval, and real options reviewed with someone local. No upfront fees to you.
Myrtle Advances is a licensed commercial business-loan broker connecting Eugene-area companies to the capital they need. We analyze your situation, match you to lenders offering SBA 7(a), working capital, equipment financing, commercial real estate loans, business lines of credit, invoice factoring, and more, then walk you through the trade-offs so you close the structure that fits your numbers and timeline.
Eugene's business landscape runs from food production and wood products near River Road to tech startups downtown and retail clusters along Coburg Road. A nursery expanding acreage in Alvadore faces different cash-flow rhythms than a brewery adding canning capacity on West 11th. We broker financing for both, because every sector's capital needs deserve a broker who understands the local context and the full menu of national and regional lenders.
When you call (541) 454-9689, you reach an advisor who asks about revenue cycles, collateral, use of funds, and timeline before pitching a product. We do not lend; we broker. That distinction matters because our incentive aligns with yours: find the option that closes and performs well over the term, not the one that pays us the highest commission upfront.
Who we serve
Our clients span established businesses seeking growth capital and newer ventures building credit profiles. Typical engagements include manufacturers buying CNC equipment, medical practices opening satellite clinics, contractors bridging receivables gaps, and retail operators refinancing expensive merchant cash advances. If you operate in Eugene, Thurston, Glenwood, Goshen, Jasper, Coburg, Alvadore, or River Road and need commercial funding between $50,000 and $5 million, we broker for your profile.
We work with C-corporations, S-corporations, LLCs, and partnerships. Sole proprietors seeking personal-guarantee structures can also qualify, depending on time in business and revenue documentation. Industry does not disqualify you; we have brokered deals for loggers, software consultancies, cannabis-adjacent service providers (where compliant), HVAC companies, and farm-equipment dealers. What matters is demonstrable cash flow, a coherent use of funds, and willingness to provide the documentation lenders require.
Eugene's proximity to both Portland metro lenders and California capital sources gives us a deep bench of institutions that understand Pacific Northwest seasonality and industry mix. When a Coburg-based distributor needs invoice factoring to smooth the gap between harvest-season purchases and spring payment cycles, we connect them to factors familiar with ag-adjacent timing, not a generic online platform.
Loan programs
SBA 7(a) loans remain the benchmark for long-term, lower-cost capital when you can tolerate a 60- to 90-day underwriting process. These government-guaranteed loans finance acquisitions, real estate purchases, equipment, and working capital up to $5 million.
Equipment financing funds machinery, vehicles, tech infrastructure, and specialized tools using the asset itself as primary collateral. Terms typically run two to seven years, matching the useful life of the equipment.
Working capital loans and business lines of credit address short-term needs like inventory purchases, payroll during slow months, or marketing campaigns. A term loan delivers a lump sum you repay over six to 24 months; a line of credit offers a revolving facility you draw against as needed, paying interest only on the outstanding balance.
Commercial real estate loans finance the purchase or refinance of owner-occupied or investment properties: warehouses along River Road, retail storefronts on Willamette Street, office condos near Autzen Stadium. Terms stretch 10 to 25 years, with amortizations sometimes extending to 30 years and a balloon payment due at term.
Invoice factoring converts outstanding B2B or B2G receivables into immediate cash, advancing 70% to 90% upfront and remitting the balance (minus a fee) when your customer pays. Factoring is not a loan; it is a sale of the receivable.
How it works
you call (541) 454-9689 or visit us at 911 Country Club Rd, Eugene, OR 97401 for a consultation. We gather revenue history, time in business, credit snapshot, use of funds, and timeline. This conversation typically runs 20 to 30 minutes.
we analyze which structures match your profile and present two or three options with projected terms, collateral requirements, documentation lists, and estimated timelines. No generic pre-approvals; we name the trade-offs in plain language.
you choose a path. We submit your package to the lender(s) most likely to close, manage the underwriting dialogue, and troubleshoot documentation requests. You stay informed at every milestone.
closing. Funds wire to your account, liens are filed (if applicable), and we conduct a post-close check-in to confirm the capital deployed as planned. The relationship continues; many clients return for subsequent rounds or refer peers in Coburg, Goshen, or Jasper who need commercial funding.
National online platforms promise speed and simplicity, and some deliver. But algorithms struggle with nuance: the logger in Alvadore whose revenue spikes in summer and falls in winter, the Jasper event venue that books 80% of annual revenue between May and September, the River Road auto shop that carries high inventory but thin margins. A broker at 911 Country Club Rd understands Lane County's economic rhythms and can position your story to lenders who also understand them.
Eugene sits between the I-5 corridor and the Cascade foothills, drawing businesses that serve both metro Portland supply chains and rural resource industries. That duality shows up in financing requests: a Thurston logistics company might need working capital to bridge fuel-cost swings, while a Glenwood food processor needs equipment financing for a new packaging line that meets export standards. We broker both because we know the local context and the lender appetites that match.
Drive-time matters when you need to sign documents, drop off additional paperwork, or discuss a term sheet in person. We serve clients across Eugene and the nearby communities of River Road, Glenwood, Thurston, Coburg, Goshen, Alvadore, and Jasper without requiring a trip to Portland or a reliance on generic call centers.
Why us
Myrtle Advances holds broker relationships with regional credit unions, Pacific Northwest community banks, SBA preferred lenders, national equipment finance companies, and specialty lenders in sectors from healthcare to transportation. That network means a Coburg manufacturer competing for an acquisition can access the same SBA 7(a) terms as a Portland peer, and a Goshen retail operator can tap invoice factoring from a factor that understands rural delivery logistics.
We do not maintain a lending fund, so we do not steer clients toward proprietary products. Every recommendation reflects the numbers and the trade-offs, filtered through the relationship-over-transaction lens that defines our practice. When a client's best option is a local credit union's term loan at a lower cost than any brokered deal, we say so. Repeat business and referrals follow integrity, not short-term commission maximization.
Broker fees vary by deal size and complexity; we disclose them before you commit. Some lenders pay broker compensation directly, some pass costs through to you, and some split the model. We explain who pays what, when, and how it affects your net proceeds. No hidden points, no surprise charges at closing.
Approval is never guaranteed. Lenders underwrite cash flow, credit, collateral, and industry risk. A strong application improves odds, but macroeconomic conditions, lender appetite shifts, and underwriter discretion all influence outcomes. We position your file for success and communicate realistic timelines, but we do not promise what we cannot control.
Documentation requests can feel invasive. Tax returns, bank statements, accounts-receivable aging, lease agreements, purchase orders, and personal financial statements all serve a purpose: they quantify risk. The more complete your initial package, the faster underwriting proceeds. We provide checklists tailored to the program you pursue, so you gather the right documents once.

Answer that, and we will broker the structure to get you there.
