Small private lending office representing Maranta Capital's direct and personal approach

Tired of private lenders who don't do what they say?

Not a fund. Not a volume lender. Just experienced people with their own capital and a straight answer.

Not a fund. Not a bank. Just experienced people with their own capital.

We started Maranta Capital because good borrowers deserve better options. Director Pat Kokavec spent years in banking and broking watching clients get burned by private lenders with hidden fees, unclear terms, and deals that fell apart at settlement. Maranta Capital exists to be the alternative — straightforward lending, our own capital, and no surprises.

How we approach lending differently

We don't run deals through a scoring system or outsource our approvals. Every transaction is assessed on its own merits — the property, the exit strategy, and the borrower's situation.

We lend our own capital

No outside funders, no third-party approvals, no delays waiting on someone else's money.

We move at deal speed

When timing is the deciding factor, you need a lender who can say yes the same day.
