FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Private Business Capital Brings Independent Capital Advisory to Business Owners and Real Estate Investors
When the bank says no – or yes, but the terms don’t work – we start with a Capital Review.
GREAT NECK, N.Y. · May 8, 2026
Private Business Capital is an independent capital advisory firm based in Great Neck, New York, specializing in business and real estate financing. The firm works one side of the table – the borrower’s. No parent lender. No inventory to push. No single product to pitch. The firm sources the lender, structures the deal, and negotiates rate and terms on behalf of business owners, real estate investors, and practice owners across the country.
The firm was founded on a straightforward observation: most business owners who need capital aren’t short on options – they’re short on guidance. Conventional banks move slowly, approve narrowly, impose strict requirements, and rarely explain what would change the answer. Brokers often spray applications and wait. Neither approach serves the borrower.
Every engagement begins with a complimentary Capital Review – a 15-30 minute conversation where the firm evaluates the situation, identifies viable paths, and tells the client what fits and what doesn’t. No lengthy applications. No committee timelines. No checklist of requirements designed for a borrower who doesn’t look like them. Just a clear answer and a concrete plan.
“Every business and every deal is different,” says Shawn Hakimian, Principal and Capital Advisor at Private Business Capital. “We don’t process applications. We understand the situation, identify what fits, and build a file a lender can say yes to – on terms the client actually wants to sign.”
“Capital is rarely the problem – structure is,” adds Samuel Miner, Principal and Capital Advisor. “We come to every deal asking what it takes to get this done, not whether it fits a box.”
The firm is led by Shawn Hakimian and Samuel Miner, both serving as Principal and Capital Advisor. Together they bring deep experience in private lending, deal structuring, and borrower advocacy – and a shared commitment to the firm’s core premise: the advisor works for the client, not the lender.
Where traditional banks demand months of paperwork, rigid qualification criteria, and approval timelines measured in weeks, Private Business Capital delivers two to three concrete financing options – each with a real rate, real term, real fees, and a real close timeline. The firm then handles documentation and lender packaging entirely, removing the burden from the client and the delay from the process.
Results reflect that approach. A $3M-revenue contractor was declined by two banks due to inconsistent financials. Private Business Capital reframed the credit narrative, matched the deal to the right private lender, and closed a $400,000 term facility in 18 days – giving the business the capital it needed to fulfill contracts already on the books.
For business owners, the firm advises on SBA 7(a) and 504 loans, term loans, lines of credit, equipment financing, invoice factoring, and startup capital. For real estate investors, the firm closes bridge and hard money loans, fix-and-flip, DSCR rental loans, new construction, multifamily, and cash-out refinancing. Facilities range from $10,000 to $50 million and above. Close timelines range from same-day decisions on equipment under $250,000 to 45-150 days on SBA transactions.
The relationship doesn’t end at closing. Most clients return for the next transaction. The firm also works directly with CPAs, attorneys, and professional advisors who refer clients – keeping the originating relationship intact and communication transparent throughout.
