We collect on judgments so that you don’t have to. We take the burden of debt collection off our clients and put it on ourselves, taking on all the financial obligations that come with it. Best of all, we only get paid if we collect. Our clients include individuals, small businesses, landlords, banks, and more. They all rely on us to put our knowledge, skills, and experience to work for them.

Actium offers investors the opportunity to seek attractive returns through first-position real estate loans. Our deal flow enables us to make loans that we consider the safest and most likely to be quickly repaid. First-position liens on real estate offers principal protection and offset market volatility. Investments are generally structured with interest rates of 10% to 12% plus origination fees.

Actium Lending offers bridge loans and hard money loans as agile vehicles to accomplish your goals on short timelines. We help you by structuring our bridge loans for a longer period of time than most (one year) so the points don’t approach a high annual rate. Our hard money loans can also be a creative way to obtain funding quickly and without having to jump through the hoops normally associated with traditional bank funding. And importantly, there are no prepayment penalties.
