How do you verify that a lender is real?
I got a suggestion for a company called TruFinCo. There's nothing here on BP and no one who I actually know has used them.
How does one go about making sure that a company is legit and not just a shell or scam?

Why go to a lender that has no presence online when there are plenty of lenders with lots of reviews / track records on places like here and Google?
