Shield Funding is the brand name owned and operated by Ascendancy Corp., a New York-based corporation operating in all 50 U.S. states—except in California, where we’re technically Ascendancy Corp. West. (We just thought Shield Funding had a better ring to it than Ascendancy Corp.!) In California, and for any business loans involving California-based companies, we operate as Ascendancy Corp. West, a California-registered foreign entity. Our original name wasn’t available in California, so we took on the “West” moniker due to state-specific requirements. This structure complies with regulations set forth by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (DFPI) under the California Finance Lenders Law. Both Ascendancy Corp. and Ascendancy Corp. West strictly adhere to business loan brokering laws and regulations across all 50 states.
With an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau and hundreds of 5-star reviews, Shield Funding has become a go-to partner for tens of thousands of businesses across the United States. Our top priority is to deliver instant funding options and white-glove service that’s second to none. Whether you’re a small shop or a large corporation, we can help you secure working capital quickly for virtually any type of project.
