Hear from our customers

"Our experience was very easy, no complaints - quick and very good. ECL’s financing is more fair for everyone, you know what your margin and costs are and can put it in a budget - it is more simple than other forms of financing which can be complicated for a small company."
David Anselm
Founder & CEO
"[The ECL team] was accessible and answered all my queries promptly. The process was extremely smooth and efficient. I had the most stress-free and comfortable funding experience. ‍The fact is that their product speaks for itself and is significantly ahead of the competition."
Kalyan Varma
CEO
"What I love about the ECL team is their rapid turnaround. The team was able to assess our case, and give me a decision within a week. And then once they made the decision, we had the money almost overnight."
Deb Noller
CEO
"We have been really happy with the funding ECL has given us. We were able to increase our growth by 150%. As a software startup, this funding was easier to access than a bank loan. This financing has been really the last push that we needed this year, so we are really eager to recommend ECL."
Luis F Sánchez
CEO
"I recommend ECL to our SaaS Founders Community. ECL has competitive rates, simple terms, minimal paperwork and most importantly, a remarkable speed of execution. We got the money in the bank in just a few days and without much effort!! ECL has helped us scale ahead of revenue."
Manik Mehta
Founder & CEO
"Our partnership with ECL has allowed us to fund investments in technology and customer success with tremendous ease and efficiency! ECL is an absolute game changer for non-dilutive funding. Bringing in equity investors early on can deprive you of the silence you need while building your product."

Founder & CEO
