Who We Are
First Squad Financial LLC is an East Texas-based direct lender providing working capital and growth financing to small and mid-size businesses. We're headquartered in Longview, TX — right in the heart of the region we serve.
We started First Squad Financial because we saw a gap: local business owners with solid operations, strong character, and real growth plans were being turned away by institutions that didn't understand their market. That's not good enough.
As a direct lender, we make our own credit decisions. We don't pass your file to a network of brokers or sell it to a marketplace. When you work with us, you get answers from the people making the decisions — fast, straight, and local.
Our team knows East Texas business. We understand the seasonal rhythms of contracting, the capital cycles of retail, the equipment demands of industrial operations. We bring that context to every deal we evaluate.
