Guiding our clients to the best funding for their business needs
Our mission is to find our clients the most appropriate funding source to grow their business. Unfortunately not all lenders' "Credit Boxes" are the same. Because of relationships with our lenders, we know which industries they fund and which ones they don't. This saves our clients time, money and frustration. We put our clients with lenders that understand their capital needs.

Why North Shore?
The best part of dealing with Northshore is that we are not lenders. Because of relationships with almost one hundred lenders, we have options that are most likely not available in your marketplace. If lenders in New England or Florida are tightening credit, we have ability to reach out to our lending partners throughout the United States. Every lender has their “Credit Box.” In this credit box, you the borrower, have to fill it with information and guidelines on your business that they require for you to qualify for a loan at their institution. The problem is most lenders do not explain what these qualifications are. At Northshore, from our years of experience and relationships, we know what information needs to be in the “Credit Box” of our lending partners. We know which lenders are more likely to lend to restaurants, motels, retail stores, manufacturing etc. In less than 48 hours we can identify what lenders can fill your capital needs.

What Our Clients and Partners are saying.
We have been blessed to work with hundreds of great businesses and lenders. This what they have had to say.
Al Fleury, Owner, The Fleury Group LLC

As an entrepreneur and owner of various small hospitality businesses across New England, my approach and vision was often clear in my eye but did not check the boxes of conventional finance. Dave Hartnett and his team at Lendio and now Northshore Funding, have been integral part of growth. Dave has been able to provide options in the form of equipment or bridge financing. Dave found fair rates and quick solutions that meant all the difference in the world while balancing real life cash flow.

Dave Hartnett has done an extremely good job of matching borrowers to the proper lender. Dave takes time to understand each lenders credit box, so when he sends a client's loan proposal through, each lender, including me, knew that it was going to fit. This is a very rare trait and this is why Dave has been so successful. I would encourage anyone that needs this type of quality service, to give Dave a call.
Mary Jane Ricker, Senior Vice President, Franklin Savings Bank

As a lender our job is to work with clients to find financing options for them. Not all companies qualify for bank financing and thus having Dave Hartnett as a strong referral source for other financing options has been invaluable. He has provided great alternative options for many.

​Barb Signor, Owner, Made on Earth boutique
​
Dave Hartnett was referred to me after months of searching for the best lender, as I was purchasing my dream boutique. Feeling so defeated, I reached out to Dave the the rest is history! He not only navigated lenders for me to purchase the business, but in the last five years, and through COVID, has checked in on me to make sure that all was good and that I was taken care of. He is wonderful to work with, has your back, and I always know, should I need anything, he is the only person I trust to give me every option available. Made on Earth truly became mine thanks to Dave - he literally helped me change my life.
