What Our Clients Say

"After seeing a promo online for SLS, I glanced at their website and found it to be clear and well-organized. I went through their loan process online, hopped on a call with one of their loan officers, and submitted everything else necessary from there. The SLS staff were quick to answer my questions promptly and I got my loan in under 20 days!"


Shareholder Nasdaq Tech Company

"Every time I've interacted with SLS, they have been so friendly and helpful. They made the loan process easy and stress-free. The other lenders I consulted with were a nightmare to communicate with and did not provide nearly as much help in navigating through the loan terms. SLS went above and beyond to make sure that I understood everything so we could close quickly."


Shareholder Small Cap Biotech Company

"Before I actually got the loan, I was constantly skeptical about what the stock loan provider reviews were telling me. However, when I found out that SLS has been doing this since 2006, it made perfect sense for me to think that they are one of the best players in this industry. I got a loan from them with an incredible interest rate and didn't need to worry about anything else."


CEO Nasdaq Small Cap Company

"The loan officer I worked with at SLS made the process so much easier than I imagined. He read through my documentation and was able to get me on the phone, answer any questions I had, and get me all set up within about a week. Fast and friendly, this company is able to provide excellent customer service so I would highly recommend them for anyone looking for a cash loan for their shares!"


Shareholder Norwegian Tech Company

"I am thoroughly impressed with the folks at SLS. Their team was always available to answer my questions, and I really liked how they were able to fund my loan so quickly. If you're in the market for a stock loan, I highly recommend giving them a chance. SLS is an excellent group of people to work with!"


Affiliate Cannabis Company

"I never really knew how to get a stock loan before and I was really worried that it would be hard. But SLS made everything so easy. They were able to meet all my needs and I didn't have to jump through so many hoops just to get what I wanted. The whole process was a breeze!"


Shareholder Small Cap Tech Company

"With getting a loan for my shares, I learned to expect the unexpected. The team at SLS held my hand through the entire process and went through a number of obstacles to get my loan funded. In this regard SLS showed why they are a great partner."

Early Investor Micro-Cap

Micro-Cap Investor Exit Strategy

Situation

An early investor in a NASDAQ-listed micro-cap company held $850K in shares that were ineligible for margin loans at any major brokerage. The investor wanted to reduce concentration risk without selling into an illiquid market.

Solution

Outcome

  • Diversified portfolio with loan proceeds
  • Maintained upside exposure to original position
  • Stock declined 30% during loan term
  • Investor walked away—non-recourse protection prevented additional losses
  • No personal liability beyond the shares
Executive Restricted Stock

Executive's Restricted Stock Liquidity

Situation

A C-suite executive at a public company accumulated $5M in restricted stock units (RSUs) over 10 years. The shares were Rule 144 restricted, making traditional financing impossible. The executive needed liquidity for a divorce settlement but wanted to avoid a market-moving sale.

Solution

Outcome

  • Settlement paid without triggering market-moving sale
  • Executive retained approximately $3.25M in equity value
  • After restrictions lifted and stock appreciated, executive refinanced with standard loan
  • Full compliance with company insider trading policies

Outcome

  • Diversified into 3 US properties
  • Original stock paid dividends during loan term (passed through)
  • Repaid loan after 24 months from property income
  • Accessed liquidity without liquidating the position
