Description

Liquidity Support for Businesses Needing Large-Scale Funding

Do you have a viable project but find that traditional banks won’t support you?

Many businesses face:

  • Delays in project timelines due to limited financing options

  • Missed opportunities because growth stalls without capital

  • Financial strain from trying to self-fund or patch together alternatives

  • Difficulty attracting clients or partners without proof of committed capital

The Rent a Rich Uncle Program is designed to help in these situations.

This program supports companies with project funding needs of $1 million and above. By arranging for Courtesy Deposits (CDs) to be placed in FDIC-insured banks, we help improve a lender’s liquidity. With increased liquidity, some banks may be more willing to extend loan facilities to qualified clients.

⚠️ Important: AltFunds Global does not lend money. We provide a liquidity enhancement service. Loan approval, terms, and funding timelines are determined solely by the participating bank.
