What We Believe at "The Cardinal"

At Cardinal Business Financing, we believe there is a better alternative to the current financing process that is offered to today’s small businesses. We are not bound by old, nonfunctional, or limiting processes. Whether it is equipment leasing, working capital loans or commercial real estate financing; our mission is to provide the best financing options that are available for your business. We don’t believe in the status quo- we believe in thinking differently. We are driven by a belief that business financing should not be an arduous process.

We believe that we need to fit into your “box” rather than you fit into some standardized financing parameters. We want to know and understand you and your business and not make decisions based on algorithms and FICO scores. We believe that your time is valuable and that you want answers and lending processes that are efficient, transparent, and fast. We take pride in offering you financing solutions and funding in days not weeks and months. And, if we don’t have the solution for your financing needs, we will tell you quickly and work with you to find alternatives.


Whatever type of financing your business requires we will bend over backwards to bring your needs into reality. We wear our servant’s towel to work every day to serve our clients. Our clients are not names or numbers; they are important relationships that we value now and for years to come. That’s The Cardinal Edge®

Affordable and accessible financing tailored to the unique needs of your business

Unlike many finance companies, we view customers as much more than just another transaction; we know full well that behind every small business is a singular story of vision, hard work, and livelihood. So we take the time to know you, your business and its unique needs. As a result, we don’t just get you financing – we get the type of financing that is right for you.

That means working capital loans and equipment leases that grow revenues but also increase profits. As a small business ourselves, we know the importance of capital and the hurdles healthcare professionals, restaurants, construction companies, manufacturers or golf courses face in trying to secure it.


While we serve a variety of customer types, we are at our very best when we find solutions for clients who’ve had difficulty with approvals or affordability. We have the analytical abilities, industry experience and partner network necessary to help you secure funds to grow your business. Click to learn more about us.

Our Reviews

  • “We recently had plans to expand one of our restaurants which would require an influx of working capital. We were referred to Cardinal Business Financing to explore the finance options available. The people at Cardinal reviewed all aspects of our business and provided us with the perfect solution for our needs. They were easy to work with and extremely knowledgeable. I would recommend them to any small business who is in need of working capital.”


    James Roland,  Ella’s Fine Food and Drink, Westerly Rhode Island.

  • “Dan at Cardinal was instrumental in acquiring the financing I needed, when I needed it, in order to make my small business vision a reality. He was open to offering advice, regardless if he was to get my business. Ultimately, he did, and I wouldn’t think twice. Thank you, Dan, for what you’ve done for my business.”

  • “We were in business for a few years and were looking to expand when we contacted Cardinal Business Financing to inquire about what types of financing might be available to us. Dan listened to our needs and was quickly able to run down the options available. Before we knew it, Dan had us approved for the funding we needed to open a second location. We are now working with Cardinal Business Financing with plans to expand once again. From the first call to post-closing, they made the process as simple as can be’.

  • “I have worked with Dan Casanta at Cardinal Business Financing on two different loans, both of which were huge game changers for our business. These loans allowed us to consolidate and expand to grow the business to where it is today. From start to finish Dan guided us thru the process to make sure we reached the end with positive results. I will always refer him and look forward to working with him again on our upcoming expansions.”

  • “My company needed to acquire additional equipment this winter. I was referred to Cardinal Business Financing by a colleague. I met with Dan Casanta, he reviewed my portfolio and quickly provided me with a solution. I was approved for a lease within hours, with an excellent rate and terms. Dan worked with the equipment vendor and my insurance agent to complete the transaction. Cardinal is fast and efficient. I highly recommend them.”
