Direct lenders rooted in Michigan's industrial heartland, building financial partnerships that last.
Hendrickson & Associates LLC was founded with a straightforward principle: businesses that build things deserve a financial partner that understands how things are built. Based in Chesterfield, Michigan, we operate at the intersection of Detroit's manufacturing legacy and the forward-thinking innovation that defines the modern Midwest.
We are a direct lender. That means when you work with us, you're working with decision-makers — not brokers, not intermediaries, not layers of bureaucracy. Our capital, our decisions, our commitment to your success.
Traditional financial institutions often treat business lending as an afterthought — a product buried behind consumer banking and investment services. We exist to change that. As a specialized direct lender, every resource we have is focused on understanding your industry, evaluating your opportunity, and structuring funding that fits your actual needs.
The result is faster decisions, more flexible terms, and a partner who speaks your language. Whether you're expanding a manufacturing facility, acquiring new equipment, or strengthening your working capital position, we approach each engagement with the same precision and reliability that defines Midwest industry.
Every funding structure is engineered to fit. We don't offer one-size-fits-all products — we design solutions calibrated to your business mechanics and growth trajectory.
When we commit, we deliver. Our clients count on consistent execution, transparent communication, and funding timelines that hold. We build trust through predictability.
We invest in relationships, not transactions. Our team takes the time to understand your operations, your challenges, and your vision — because lasting value comes from genuine alignment.
We believe the best financial partnerships are built on deep understanding. Before we discuss numbers, we learn your business — the equipment on your floor, the contracts in your pipeline, the market forces shaping your industry.
This isn't due diligence as a checkbox. It's how we ensure every dollar of funding serves a structural purpose in your growth. We think in terms of load-bearing capital: funding that doesn't just fill a gap, but strengthens the foundation you're building on.
Our team combines decades of financial services expertise with genuine appreciation for the industries we serve. From precision manufacturing to commercial construction, from logistics to specialized services — we understand the rhythms of businesses that make, build, and move.
