Transparency is the product.

Core Ascent L.L.C. is a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Wyoming. We operate nationally under the brand "Core Ascent."

Our principal business activities are facilitation, business development, and commercialization: connecting companies that have products or capital with the providers and buyers who need them, facilitating equipment and business financing through third-party capital partners, and supporting clinical device commercialization and distribution.

Core Ascent is a facilitator. That word is specific, and it is the one we use consistently across every contract, marketing surface, and disclosure we produce. We sit between companies with products or capital and the providers and buyers who need them.

Our role, in plain terms:

• We connect businesses seeking equipment financing or working capital with vetted third-party capital partners who make the credit decisions.
• We stay partner-agnostic. We maintain multiple capital partner rails and route each deal to the rail that fits, rather than forcing every deal through one program.
• We support clinical device commercialization and distribution, connecting manufacturers with the provider networks that put their products to work.
• We operate the process and technology infrastructure that moves a transaction from introduction to funded or completed.

We are not a lender. We do not originate loans, take credit risk, make credit decisions, or set rates, terms, or approval criteria on any financing we facilitate.

We are not a broker. Our role is facilitation: introducing the parties, preparing the file, and coordinating the process. Credit decisions and financing terms belong entirely to the capital partners.

We do not provide legal, tax, or fiduciary advice. Our compliance and disclosure materials describe the structure of our offerings. Business owners should consult qualified professionals for their specific situations.

We believe compensation disclosure is a first-screen topic, not a footer topic. Here is how Core Ascent makes money.

From capital partners. When a financing transaction we facilitate is funded, the capital partner that funded it compensates Core Ascent under a written agreement with that partner. Compensation varies by partner and product; it never changes who makes the credit decision, and it is never charged to the business seeking financing.

From product partners. When a commercialization or distribution engagement we facilitate is completed, the product partner compensates Core Ascent under the applicable agreement.

From the businesses we serve. Exploring financing options through Core Ascent carries no fee. Where a specific service engagement does carry a fee, it is disclosed in the applicable written agreement before anything is signed.

Credit decisions on transactions we facilitate are made by vetted, third-party capital partners and are always subject to their underwriting. We do not name partners on our marketing surfaces; staying partner-agnostic is what lets us route each deal to the rail that fits. Every partner in our rotation meets the following standards:

• Licensed or exempt in the jurisdictions where their financing is provided.
• Transparent terms. Rates, fees, and payment schedules disclosed to the business before acceptance.
• Standard compliance posture. Meets applicable federal and state requirements for their product, including the Equal Credit Opportunity Act.
• Written agreement with Core Ascent covering data handling, borrower communications, and compensation structure.

We decline partnerships that fail these tests. We remove partners who stop meeting them.

Minimal collection. We collect the information needed to respond to an inquiry or move a transaction forward, and nothing more. We do not sell personal information.

Data processors. Our public sites rely on a short list of third-party processors: Formspree processes form submissions, Plausible provides privacy-focused analytics without cookies or cross-site tracking, and Twilio delivers SMS messages where SMS consent has been given. These processors are identified in our Privacy Policy.

Retention. We retain transaction records for the period required by applicable law and partner contract, typically seven years for financial transactions, and destroy them thereafter.

Rights. Individuals have rights under applicable federal and state privacy laws to request access, correction, and deletion of personal data held by Core Ascent. Requests may be submitted to info@coreascent.net. See also our Privacy Policy.

Financing applications submitted through our provider portal at coreascent.app include an express authorization for Core Ascent to share application information with third-party capital partners, and for those partners to obtain business credit reports as part of underwriting.

In plain terms:

• Authorization is collected in the application itself, before anything is submitted.
• Credit inquiries are conducted by the capital partners evaluating the application, not by Core Ascent.
• Application information is shared only with the capital partners under consideration for that transaction.

Approval and terms are always subject to the capital partner's underwriting. Core Ascent does not make credit decisions and does not retain credit report data beyond what is required to operate the platform.

We communicate with providers and consumers when we have their consent to do so, or where a communication is required by law or by an active business relationship.

SMS and text messaging. SMS opt-in is explicit. Anyone who opts in can opt out by replying STOP at any time. Message frequency varies by product and context. Standard message and data rates apply. Full details in our SMS Terms.

TCPA compliance. Every phone-collecting form on our sites presents a TCPA-compliant consent checkbox. We do not rely on inferred consent. We do not share opt-in consent across business lines without separate, explicit permission.

Email. Transactional and business email is permitted under the terms of our engagement with a provider, consumer, or partner. Marketing email follows CAN-SPAM: visible unsubscribe in every message, and a physical address in every footer.

The Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) applies to business credit as well as consumer credit. Capital partners who fund transactions we facilitate make the credit decisions and are responsible for ECOA compliance with respect to the credit they extend.

In connection with the services we provide, Core Ascent does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, age, receipt of income from any public assistance program, or good-faith exercise of rights under the Consumer Credit Protection Act.
