The typical loan process at Oak Street Funding includes six phases:

• Assessment – A dedicated Loan Officer will schedule a meeting to discuss your specific business goals and answer any questions you may have. This initial consultation helps us determine if our loan products are a good fit for your needs. If so, you'll be guided through the application process.
• Application – Choose between a convenient online application or a paper form and submit initial documentation to assess whether a term sheet – a non-binding letter of intent which summarizes the important financial and legal terms as well as the amount of the loan and its repayment – can be issued.
• Processing – Once a term sheet is agreed upon and a deposit is received, you'll submit all required loan documents through our secure MyStreet loan platform.
• Underwriting Review – Our experienced Underwriting team will analyze all documentation and information. They may contact you for any missing details to ensure a smooth approval process.
• Closing – After final review, you’ll receive a set of loan documents for review to finalize your loan.
• Funding – You’ll sign the loan documents and your loan funds will be disbursed in a timely manner.

After you receive the funds, a dedicated customer-service representative will handle your account. You will always be able to reach your assigned representative in whichever manner is best for you, such as phone, email or text. If you prefer to self-serve, you can also check the status of your loan or obtain additional information on our secure, MyStreet portal.

All decisions are made by the Oak Street Funding team which allows us to expedite the process for our borrowers. The amount of time required to complete the business lending process depends on the timeliness of information provided by you and any respective parties to the transaction. Once all required documents are in, the approval process can be completed in as little as four weeks. More complex transactions may take longer to close.

Rates (based on the applicable United States Treasury based rate), fees, and terms of our loans vary depending on the particular business situation. At Oak Street Funding, our in-house lending experts review each loan application and provide a customized financial structure for every situation. We are a relationship-based business that believes our value is more about our deep expertise, partnership and servicing we provide, evident by the fact that many of our customers are repeat business and provide strong referrals.
