My early professional career came with financial uncertainties. I had an 8 figure contract on the horizon, but I was not there yet. That is where Balanced Bridge came in. I am grateful that they exist.

No. We rely primarily on the strength of the athlete’s current or future contract to make credit decisions. There is no minimum credit score requirement.
Yes—you may pay off or pay down your advance early without penalty. There are no hidden fees on the backend of the loan. While others within the space may charge exorbitant prepayment penalties that make it cost-prohibitive for the athlete to pay off, pay down or refinance, we do not.
We pride ourselves on being the low-cost provider within this space of lending. Various factors, such as the type of financing and how quickly the funds are needed, will influence the rate we can offer each individual athlete.
The documentation we require varies based on the athlete’s contract situation. In some cases, only a driver’s license or other form of identification is needed. In most cases, the player’s contract, a form of identification and the player’s most-recent paystubs are required. Our underwriters may also request tax returns, bank statements and/or a personal financial statement on a case-by-case basis.
No. We are a direct lender of private capital. We underwrite, fund, and service all privately funded facilities in-house. For those who qualify for bank financing, we serve as your dedicated underwriter.
