About State Financial.

In 2007, State Financial celebrated its 40th year in the commercial finance industry, having served hundreds of hard working entrepreneurs since Irv Reiss founded the company in 1967.

Known by colleagues for his conviction that "business, real business, is not numbers and its not money. Its people." Irv believed that communication was at the heart of every successful relationship, business included.

Today the company is still family owned and operated, providing a second generation of independent decision-making through Irv’s sons, Arthur and Gary Reiss. Working with an experienced and dedicated staff, State Financial stands out among finance companies serving smaller businesses in the Western U.S.

Each and every loan-finance arrangement is personally overseen by the Reiss brothers, who can make timely lending decisions without the burden of investors or senior executives peering over their shoulders.

State Financial appreciates the difficulties and unforeseen issues which arise in running independent companies. We provide a unique flexibility to help our customers better manage their finances. Our lending guidelines are not as rigid and policy-driven as those of banks. They are proven effective for us and, more importantly, for our clients. We know how to provide money to a wide range of companies who might otherwise be turned down, and we do not maintain our profitability by squeezing our clients with hidden fees.

In fact, State Financial takes pride in having many long-term customers who look to our straightforward business practices as a solid alternative to traditional financing.

In short, we operate our business with state-of-the-art technologies while managing our company with old-fashioned integrity and values. We listen to our customers and, like our father before us, we believe that person-to-person communications are the very best way to do business.

If this sounds like the kind of financial relationship that fits your needs, we'll look forward to your call, and to learning more about you and your company.
