About Solas

Built on clarity, not pressure.

Solas Funding LLC is an independent Florida-based Independent Sales Organization serving established businesses across the United States.

Why Solas Exists


Business owners deserve a straight answer.

Too much of this industry runs on urgency — unexplained requests, moving targets, and pressure to sign before you have understood what you are signing.

Solas was built to work the other way. We explain what is being asked for and why. We tell you honestly when a file is unlikely to go anywhere rather than stringing it along. And we present offers as they are, so a business owner can make a decision with full information.

Solas is the Irish word for light. The Horizon mark — a rising sun above an open road — is the plainest way we could say what the business is for: a clearer view of what is ahead, and a way to get there.

Leadership

Marvin Elam

Founder & Chief Executive Officer

Marvin founded Solas Funding to bring governance-grade discipline to merchant funding origination. His background is in governance, risk and compliance, built over years of work on controls, reporting and process design in regulated financial operations.

That background shapes how Solas operates: documented processes, clear separation between origination and underwriting, and a standard of accuracy in every file that leaves the office.

How We Operate


The principles we hold to.

Independence

Solas is independently owned and is not a division of any funder. We maintain relationships with multiple funding partners and are not obliged to send your file to any one of them.

Separation of duties

Origination and underwriting are deliberately separate. Solas prepares and submits; funding partners underwrite and decide. We never represent our own screening as a credit decision.

Accuracy over speed

A file that is complete and correct the first time is better for the business owner and better for the funding partner. We do not pad a submission to get it through the door.
