My name is Michael Hoffmann, and I work in the alternative business funding space, helping small and mid-sized business owners across the Michiana area access capital when traditional banks can’t—or won’t—move fast enough.
I specialize in responsible, short-term business funding solutions designed for real-world operators: restaurant owners, contractors, retailers, service businesses, and entrepreneurs who need working capital to solve specific problems or seize time-sensitive opportunities.
I don’t believe alternative lending is a bailout.
I believe it’s a tool—and like any tool, it’s only useful when it’s used correctly.
That’s why my approach is different
I live and work in Michiana.
My kids go to school here.
I eat at the restaurants you own.
I shop at the businesses you run.
This isn’t a call center. This isn’t a national lead mill.
When you work with me, you’re working with someone who understands the local economy, the seasonal swings, and the realities of running a business in South Bend, Mishawaka, Elkhart, Niles, and the surrounding communities
No pressure. No scripts. No nonsense.
