Headquartered in Raleigh, NC, Diamond Financial was formed to fill a large void in the national financing market. Studies have shown, for example, that in one year over 21 million small business loans were applied for through local banks and only 4 million were actually funded. Reasons for failure varied. DFS realized that many capable individuals were not able to identify interested financial institutions, package the loan application or justify their needs to bank officers. Over 84% were initially declined due to presentation alone. The experience and skill of the loan officer sometimes determined the potential success rate as much as the merits of the loan application itself!

Diamond Financial Services of New Jersey (DFS) is a direct source to the nation's largest and most aggressive SBA lenders. There are so many misconceptions about SBA loans there are just too many to mention. Most anyone is eligible for the SBA loan programs. Loans are provided by private lenders, not the government. The SBA program offers lenders guarantees that insures them some coverage in the event of loan defaults. When a small business applies to a lending partner for a loan, the lender reviews the application and decides if it merits a loan on its own or if it requires additional support in the form of an SBA guaranty. In guaranteeing the loan, the SBA assures the lender that, in the event the borrower does not repay the loan, the government will reimburse the lending partner for a portion of its loss. By providing this guaranty, the SBA is able to help tens of thousands of small businesses every year get financing they would not otherwise obtain.
