Frequently asked questions
How fast can I get funded?
Simpler programs can fund in 24–72 hours. Larger, more structured deals typically close in 2–6 weeks.
Do you pull my credit for a quote?
No. Initial pricing is based on your bank statements and a soft check only.
Are there upfront fees?
No. Hawthorne is paid at closing by the funding lender or as a disclosed fee inside the deal. You'll always see it before you sign.
