Charles M. Barr: A Trusted Leader in Small Business Financing…
I've spent the last 20+ years helping established business owners navigate one of their most critical decisions: finding the right capital partner to fuel their next phase of growth.
As Founder & CEO of LVRG, I've had the privilege of working with over 10,000 businesses nationwide, facilitating over $1 billion in strategic funding. What I've learned is that successful business owners don't just need money—they need someone who understands their vision and can move at the speed of opportunity.
LVRG has built a reputation as one of America's most trusted funding companies. We've earned this through consistent performance, transparent dealings, and unwavering commitment to client success. While others in our industry focus on transactions, we focus on relationships that grow with our clients' businesses.
My approach has always been grounded in integrity and authenticity: listen first, understand the real need, then deliver solutions that make sense. Whether it's working capital for expansion, equipment financing for major investments, or acquisition funding, I believe in building partnerships that extend far beyond the initial transaction. Our clients stay with us because we think like business owners, not just lenders.
What sets us apart is our financial strength and flexibility to structure deals that traditional lenders simply can't do. We can move quickly when opportunities arise, and we're not constrained by rigid requirements that slow down conventional financing. This agility, combined with our deep industry expertise, allows us to get deals done other finance companies can't.
My competitive background as a nationally ranked tennis player and professional squash player (top #100 worldwide) taught me the discipline, focus, and resilience that I bring to every business relationship. That same drive keeps me active in the gym and constantly pushing for better results.
What motivates me most is watching business owners achieve what they set out to accomplish—and knowing we played a role in making it happen. There's nothing more rewarding than seeing a client's vision become reality because they had access to the right capital at the right time.
Beyond business, I'm deeply committed to giving back through organizations like the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, Make-A-Wish Foundation, and St. Jude—causes that reflect my belief in supporting others during their most challenging moments.
Building partnerships that fuel growth, one business at a time. - Charles M. Barr
