What our customers say about us

We’re fortunate to work with commercial lending leaders across the country. Check out what they have to say about Tax Guard.

Erica is just terrific. Very responsive, the process was easy and she even looped in with our counsel to get our first 8821 filed with a closing this week on a new loan. Such a pleasure to work with her and the tax guard team.

Paige Ela, Managing Director, Healthcare Finance - Dwight Mortgage Trust

Tax Guard has an incredible understanding of the tax system, what different liabilities mean, and the timeframe that the lender has to make decisions whether to fund or not. Curtis Sutherland, VP of Factoring - TAB Bank

Tax Guard has saved us from a reputational risk with SBA. That’s something that’s very important to us. We take pride in us being the second largest SBA lender. Laima Lohman, SVP, SBC Closing Operations Manager - Byline Bank

There are so many cases where we see nothing on our initial background check. Then we run it through Tax Guard, and we see all that negative information. I have no doubt during our history there were merchants we funded that we would have said no to if we had the same information Tax Guard provides us. Steven Podhorzer, SVP of Underwriting - Kapitus

Tax Guard potentially saved us a lot of money because some borrowers owed hundreds of thousands of dollars. We wouldn’t have known it if we hadn’t been with Tax Guard. Sharon Whitney, Sr. Vice President - Aquesta Bank
