Our Roots: Where We Come From
Darrick founded AFP to improve the lending experience for small, medium, and fast-growing businesses. Darrick’s lending expertise developed during his 27-year career with Wells Fargo Bank where he rose to Senior Vice President with dual roles as Director of Small Business and Director of Diversity for the Rocky Mountain Region. Additionally, he served on Wells Fargo’s National Small Business Task Force, focusing on diverse Chambers of Commerce.
Because of his background, Darrick became sought after as an expert working with small businesses seeking to expand their capacity in order to support primary contractors on mega government contracts. For many businesses, they can close the contract, but not fulfill it because they don’t have the pathways to access the funding they need to complete work before contractual payments come in.
Darrick and his team apply the same business assessments used to evaluate government contractor financing capacity to clients who apply through Alternative Funding Partners. With a detailed evaluation of assets, resources, cash flow, and business planning, we are able to find a pathway to funding, even when previous lenders have said, “No.”
Our mission is to do lending better, taking care of small and medium-sized businesses and real estate investors that big banks decline.

Commercial Loan Brokerage Marketing Services
To be successful, commercial loan brokers need a consistent, professional image both in-person and throughout all of their marketing and communication efforts. Our marketing packages ensure a professional presentation by focusing on the four key principles for effective marketing.
Branding
To be successful as a loan broker, you must first earn your client’s trust. Our branding solutions make sure you present a professional, credible, and consistent identity for your company. We help you to look like an industry leader every time you interact with clients.
Online Presence
When prospective clients look for commercial funding today, they start online. Your website becomes their first impression of your business. Our custom websites help you to get found online, to look great on mobile and desktop, and to convert your website visitors into solid leads.
Deep Relationships
The most effective marketing creates deep, long term relationships with prospects and clients. Our experts help loan brokerages by running full social media campaigns, SEO, blogging, and newsletters. This allows you to spend your time where it counts most – and not behind a computer!
Full Ongoing Support
Marketing is an essential, ongoing process. Marketing technology and opportunities changes weekly, even if you haven’t caught up yet. Our ongoing, one on one coaching helps brokers to stay on top of what matters, to develop and implement proven marketing strategies, and to use their time as effectively as possible.
