Read Our Client Testimonials

The team at Encore has provided our company exceptional service, funding, support, and advisory allowing us to focus on our revenue generating activities. Encore is a company who truly believes in the entrepreneur spirit.

Encore Funding has been our valued partner for over 14 years. They were our first and most important "hire" and today that relationship remains the backbone of our weekly financial needs. Our support team (Sandra & Beth) have continuously provided us with outstanding service and have always been available to answer questions and deal with day to day issues.

Of all the companies that we rely on to help maintain and grow, Encore is one of our favorite to work with. They are attentive, reliable, friendly, and efficient. Would recommend them to anyone.

Our experience with Encore has been exemplary, and we have consistently received outstanding service from our account representative, Jose Velez. Jose has been an exceptional partner, demonstrating a deep understanding of our financial requirements and providing tailored solutions that align with our goals. His professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail have made a significant positive impact on our operations. Jose’s commitment to ensuring our satisfaction and his proactive approach in addressing any concerns have been particularly noteworthy.

I am a business owner who has worked with this team with two different companies. They are nothing short of fantastic! They always go above and beyond whether doing an early funding or working with my teams to ensure we get the most funding help. Over the last 10 years I have been solicited many times by other funding companies and my answer is always the same, “No thanks, I am incredibly happy with my current funder.” I would strongly recommend Encore.

We have had the pleasure of working with Encore Funding for the past three years, and we couldn't be more thrilled with their offerings and exceptional service. Encore Funding has enabled us to focus on growing our business by taking over our payroll funding and management, in addition to providing comprehensive back-office services for our team. This partnership has been invaluable in allowing us to streamline our operations and concentrate on our core activities.
