About AltFi
We help business owners stop overpaying for capital.
AltFi Real Estate was built on a simple observation: too many good businesses are paying punishing rates for short-term capital when they're sitting on one of the cheapest sources of funding there is — the equity in their home and property.
We're the real-estate-finance sibling of Alternative Funding Group, one of the country's established small-business funders. Where AFG built its reputation on fast, flexible business capital, AltFi extends that same speed and service to a lower-cost, equity-backed lane — working alongside licensed lending partners to match each business owner with the right product.

The track record behind the brand
AltFi stands on the foundation of Alternative Funding Group — a BBB-accredited funder that has helped thousands of business owners access capital quickly. That experience shapes everything we do: we know what business owners need, and we know the real cost of the financing they're often handed.
The difference with AltFi is the cost of capital. By securing financing against the equity you've already built, we help you replace expensive advances with capital priced in the single digits.
*Track-record figures reference Alternative Funding Group. AltFi Real Estate is a separate entity that partners with AFG and licensed lenders.
