Our Story

Forged in the Mountains.

Who We Are

Precision, Forged Under Pressure.

Colt Investments was founded in Asheville, North Carolina, where the Blue Ridge granite meets American mechanical exactness. We carry the legacy of the Colt name — capital engineered to function without hesitation when it matters most.

We are a direct lender, not a broker. When you work with Colt, you work directly with the team that reviews your file, makes the decision, and funds your business. No middlemen, no handoffs, no noise.

Our team is led by Derek, who built Colt on a simple belief: business owners deserve a partner who moves with them — measured, reliable, and decisive.
