Our story
The Atlas Story
Atlas Business Capital was founded by Chuck and Connie Brazier on a straightforward premise: business owners deserve a financing partner who tells them the truth, including when the truth is that they should wait.
Chuck brings more than 35 years of experience across equipment leasing, inventory finance, and trade finance. Connie brings more than 25 years in mortgage lending, business development, and loan origination. Together, they founded Atlas to give business owners direct access to experienced guidance, clear communication, and thoughtfully sourced financing options.
Atlas is a new venture. The experience behind it is not.
Founder & Principal
Chuck Brazier
Chuck Brazier is a financial executive with more than 35 years of experience spanning equipment leasing, inventory finance, and trade finance. Across senior leadership roles in private and public companies, he has built funding partnerships, developed credit risk frameworks, led complex restructurings, and helped organizations scale their operations.
His career has included executive leadership at Oakmont Financial Corporation and First Sierra Financial Services, where he helped develop and grow wholesale finance operations. He later spent more than a decade with TradeRiver USA, overseeing operations, client engagement, and partner development while helping advance its online trade finance platform.
At Atlas, Chuck uses that breadth of experience to assess each request carefully, present it to appropriate financing sources, and help clients understand the available structure before making a decision. His approach is straightforward: give owners the complete picture, communicate candidly, and recommend only what serves the business.
Principal, Commercial Real Estate
Connie Brazier
Connie Brazier brings more than 25 years of experience in mortgage lending, business development, and loan origination to Atlas. Her career has been shaped by attentive service, careful follow-through, and a commitment to helping clients navigate important financing decisions with clarity.
As a business owner herself, Connie understands the value of responsiveness, accuracy, and dependable communication. She applies those strengths to Atlas's commercial real estate practice, supporting owners and investors through property financing requests and helping keep each step organized from the initial conversation through closing, subject to lender approval and underwriting.
Raised in Utah and having lived in California, Oregon, and Florida, Connie brings a broad perspective and an approachable style to every client relationship. Outside of work, she enjoys raising and showing horses, a pursuit that reflects the same patience, discipline, and attention to detail she brings to her professional life.
Our standards
How We Work
We Tell You the Whole Cost
Every offer we present includes the total dollar cost of the capital, not just a payment amount. If an offer is expensive, we say it is expensive and explain what you would be paying for.
We Charge Nothing Up Front
Atlas is compensated by the lender when a transaction funds. You will never be asked to pay an application fee, a processing fee, or a deposit to see your options. If anyone in this industry asks you for money before you have funding, walk away.
We Protect Your File
Shotgunning an application to twenty lenders leaves a trail that makes a business look desperate and can hurt approval odds. We place your file with the lenders most likely to approve it, deliberately.
One application. Multiple funding options.
Tell us what you need and we will bring you real options from our national lender network — with no upfront fees and no impact to your personal credit to look.
