How often does Myrtlefield Funding publish new articles?+
We publish new business funding tips Syracuse entrepreneurs request most, typically twice monthly. Each post addresses real questions from borrowers across the metro, ensuring relevance to Onondaga County's commercial landscape and the flexible-term solutions that work here.
Do these guides apply to businesses outside Syracuse?+
Our small business loan guides focus squarely on Syracuse and surrounding towns like Liverpool, East Syracuse, and Camillus. Lending climates, bank relationships, and seasonal factors differ by region, so we write exclusively for Central New York's commercial borrowers and their unique funding challenges.

Absolutely. Call (315) 862-5805 and tell us what financing question keeps you up at night. If it affects Syracuse business owners broadly, we'll research it, apply our broker perspective, and publish local financing insights that answer your question with the flexibility lens we're known for.
Are these articles written by loan officers?+
Every post comes from Myrtlefield Funding's brokerage team at 731 James St in Syracuse. We draw on daily deal flow, lender conversations, and borrower feedback gathered from Solvay machine shops to DeWitt medical practices, ensuring each guide reflects current market conditions and realistic term structures.
Do you cover alternative funding like factoring?+
Yes. Our guides explore invoice factoring, merchant cash alternatives, and business lines of credit alongside traditional bank products. Syracuse businesses often need creative structures during growth phases or seasonal dips, so we detail how flexible terms in non-bank channels complement SBA and conventional loans.
