What Crossroads Financial does

Crossroads Financial is a privately held specialty finance company founded in 2006 by CEO Lee Haskin and headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida. The company provides inventory-backed revolving lines of credit and related purchase order financing to lower and middle-market commercial borrowers who are unable to secure traditional bank financing. Its core product is an inventory revolving line of credit with a $1 million minimum facility size, advancing up to 85% of the Net Orderly Liquidation Value (NOLV) of pledged inventory, and supported by Asset Based Lending and Purchase Order Financing product lines structured for retailers, e-commerce operators, manufacturers, wholesalers, and distributors.\n\nThe firm operates a sales-led go-to-market motion anchored on Business Development Officers who run a documented pipeline from initial setup call through application, term sheet issuance within 48 hours, and underwriting approval within 15 to 45 days. Distribution combines a self-serve website application with factor and broker referral channels, including recurring co-financing arrangements with factoring companies that extend receivables-backed coverage to borrowers. Crossroads holds California Financing Law licenses through two dedicated LLC entities (Crossroads Funding I, LLC 60DBO 88771 and Crossroads Financing, LLC 60DBO 88772) and maintains affiliations with SFNet, ACG, TMA, and IFA to source deal flow.\n\nThe revenue model is interest and fee-based, with advances priced on each customer's collateral profile rather than through published rate cards. To date, Crossroads has funded over $240 million in credit facilities with a cumulative loss ratio of less than 1% under Lee Haskin's direction, indicating disciplined collateral-based underwriting. The company does not disclose revenue, has not raised external capital, and operates as a boutique originator with a 11–50 employee footprint, anchored by the founder's three-decade commercial finance track record.
