Testimonials
“Securing financing in the hospitality sector has been an uphill battle over the past few years, with lenders tightening their requirements and making it increasingly difficult to access capital. Thanks to the dedicated efforts of you and the entire team at UFIG, we were able to navigate these challenges and secure an exceptional financing package tailored to our needs. Your expertise, responsiveness, and commitment to finding the best solution for our business made all the difference. We couldn’t have done it without you—thank you for making this possible!”
“Most large banks have little interest in working with small business owners, often prioritizing larger clients while offering little to no personalized service. In my case, despite a 30-year relationship with my existing lender, I struggled to get any meaningful attention from decision-makers when I needed financing the most. That’s where UFIG stepped in. Thanks to you and your dedicated team, I not only secured the loan I needed but did so on the exact terms I outlined from the start. Your responsiveness, expertise, and commitment to advocating for small business owners made all the difference. I can’t thank you enough for making this process smooth and successful!”
“I recently closed a commercial loan through UFIG, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. The loan terms they secured for me were exactly what I needed, and the entire process was handled with professionalism and efficiency. Working with Mandy Widdick and Jim Lunger and his office staff was a fantastic experience—they stayed on top of every detail, provided consistent updates, and ensured a smooth, hassle-free closing. Their expertise and dedication truly set them apart. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with them again and highly recommend UFIG to any business owner seeking reliable and customized commercial financing solutions.”
“Owning and operating a small, 77-unit self-storage facility, we knew refinancing our debt wouldn’t be easy. It felt like we were a square peg trying to fit into a round hole—traditional lenders just didn’t seem interested in working with us. After hitting roadblocks on our own, we turned to UFIG based on a recommendation, and it was the best decision we could have made. Mandy Widdick and Melinda understood our challenges and worked tirelessly to find a lender who saw the value in our business. Thanks to their expertise and persistence, we secured financing on terms that worked for us—something we simply couldn’t have done alone. If you’re struggling to find the right financing, we highly recommend UFIG!”
*”For three years, we fought to purchase the land and building where we run our business, only to hear ‘No’ at every turn. Lenders either weren’t interested or couldn’t make the deal work. As we entered the final year of our lease option, we knew it was our last shot. That’s when we turned to UFIG—and it was the best decision we ever made.
Unlike every other broker or bank we had dealt with, James didn’t just see obstacles—he found solutions. He worked quickly, efficiently, and professionally to close our loan when no one else could. Thanks to him, we now own the property we had been chasing for years. If you need a commercial loan, don’t waste time elsewhere—James Lunger and UFIG are the only ones I’d trust to get the job done!”*
“I must admit, this was one of the most stressful loans I have ever done and I have done thousands, and not because of you, but because of the Buyer and the insurance issue. Thank you for all your hard work, effort and persistent in getting J & S Video, Inc. a new building to operate out of. I truly appreciate you and look forward to working with you again.”
“It was a privilege working with you and your team on securing financing for my client’s recent acquisition of commercial real estate in Northern Virginia.

I greatly appreciate your proactive approach, responsiveness, and commitment to delivering tailored financing solutions. I look forward to the opportunity to collaborate with you again in the near future and highly recommend your services to those seeking a knowledgeable and results-driven lending partner.”
