Direct Lending to
Independent Financial Advisors and RIAs
A Streamlined Loan Process Designed for Financial Advisory Firms
Your Direct Lender Exclusively Serving Financial Advisors
Securing a loan for your financial advisory firm can be challenging if the lender is not familiar with your business model. There are very few banks that understand the intricacies of a financial advisory practice and even fewer with a dedicated lending division for the financial services industry.
At Salt Creek, we are dedicated to helping financial advisors and RIAs expand their firms with efficient access to capital. It’s our goal to help you grow your firm.

“I had a great experience with the team at Salt Creek/First State Bank Nebraska. I had been working with another National Bank that specializes in Financial Planning Practices and had a mediocre experience. When I met Salt Creek, I was impressed with their professionalism, size, and willingness to work outside the box when partnering with me to purchase a Planning practice last year.I would highly recommend Salt Creek to anyone looking to purchase or sell a Practice. Cheers to the Salt Creek team.”
