About us
Small business financing experts you can trust
Since 1998, Kent Nelson has helped entrepreneurs across Wisconsin and the entire country secure the financing they need to start, buy, grow, and refinance their businesses.
Our story
Built to help small businesses win
QuickStart Consulting was founded on a simple belief: every entrepreneur deserves a fair shot at securing the financing they need to succeed. Too many great business ideas never get off the ground — not because they aren't viable, but because the owners don't know how to present their opportunity to lenders.
We bridge that gap. Our team brings deep expertise in SBA lending, conventional financing, and business plan development. We've helped hundreds of business owners navigate the complex world of business financing — from first-time startups to seasoned operators looking to expand or refinance.
Based in Wisconsin and serving clients nationwide, we work with SBA-approved lenders and conventional banks across the country. When you work with us, you get a dedicated advocate who stays with you from the first conversation all the way through closing.
