                                            About Us




                                                Benworth Capital is a hard money lender. Quite
                                                simply, we’re a financing source that is a lot
                                                different than a bank, but just as trustworthy
                                                and reliable.

                                                Headquartered in Coral Gables, Florida, we opened our doors in 2008, when many
                                                banks were closing theirs because of the global financial crisis. We observed
                                                community members with the cash flow and borrower integrity to repay a loan
                                                obligation who were left without a source for financing.
                                                We were inspired. With a shared passion for the value and importance of owning real
                                                estate, especially during the economic disaster, we created a lending alternative by
                                                offering borrowers private loans. Our loans are also referred to as hard money loans.
                                                Following our success in Florida, we opened an office in San Juan, Puerto Rico in 2021.




                                                We’ve grown to become one of Florida’s premier hard money lenders,
                                                focusing exclusively on transactions involving real estate in Florida.

                                                Currently, we finance property in Florida. It’s the market we know
                                                best (and love).

                                            Recognized by the National Association of Mortgage Brokers for high standards of
                                            ethics, integrity, professionalism and knowledge in the mortgage industry.




                                            We approve loans that
                                            banks won’t.

                                            We make the decisions to fund hard money loans based on our unique criteria that’s
                                            a lot different than a bank, credit union, or mainstream online lender. The funds used
                                            for our hard money loans are from private investors who believe in the potential of
                                            real estate as much as we do. We consider three main factors when making a loan
                                            decision:


                                                The borrower's ability to repay the loan, primarily income earned from
                                                employment.
                                                The value of the property.
                                                The borrower's equity in the property. For a purchase, this means the
                                                downpayment amount. For a refinance equity is the value of the property less
                                                the balance in a current mortgage.

                                            There’s more that makes
                                            us different.

                                            Anyone (with cash) can fund a loan but we’re different than a great uncle or the
                                            cash-rich entrepreneur down the street. Benworth Capital is licensed to lend. And
                                            that’s a big deal, especially in Florida, because it’s the law. It’s an even bigger deal for
                                            borrowers because that means our borrowers are protected by U.S. regulations that
                                            oversee our industry.
