The Batton Group LLC was founded with a singular mission: to provide American businesses with direct access to growth capital — without the bureaucracy, delay, or opacity that too often defines the lending industry.
Based in Detroit, Michigan, we draw inspiration from the city's legacy of industrial innovation. Just as Detroit built the assembly lines that powered a nation, The Batton Group builds financial partnerships that power business growth. We are a direct lender — meaning we fund from our own capital, make our own decisions, and stand behind every commitment we make.
Our approach is straightforward: understand your business, structure the right funding solution, and deliver capital with speed and transparency. No intermediaries. No hidden agendas. Just a direct partnership focused on your success.
Every term is transparent. Every promise is kept. We build relationships that endure because they're built on honesty.
We don't offer one-size-fits-all solutions. Every funding structure is precisely tailored to your business model and growth trajectory.
Capital should accelerate your business, not slow it down. We move with urgency because your opportunities won't wait.
