About Us

The principals of C2 have been lending to agriculture for over 30 years. We service both the production and agribusiness operation by providing debt capital to meet a variety of needs. During the last 25 years, loan commitments have ranged in size from $2.0 million to $100 million.

We have a successful blueprint for identifying the best creditors and loan terms available for your company. We access several capital resources (both internally and outside) to meet your financing needs.

Our staff has worked for the major financial institutions within the U.S. As a result, we understand why specific terms are offered by certain lenders, how credits are analyzed, priced and structured.

Our customers seek to make the most informed credit decision for their organization. We keep up with the financial marketplace and provide the most current market data available from which they can base their decision.

I was pleased with the results. C2 Capital Group understands the credit market dynamics, took time to understand our business plan and was our advocate in the loan negotiations. We worked with them on several financing projects over a period of 4 years which introduced us to new lenders, maintained existing credit relationships and secured beneficial credit terms.
