Why We Burned the Boats

People often ask where the name ‘BTB’ comes from. It stands for Burn The Boats—and it’s more than just a phrase. It’s a mindset.

In 1519, Hernán Cortés, the Spanish conquistador, landed on the shores of what is now Mexico with a small army. Facing overwhelming odds and a powerful enemy, Cortés made a shocking decision: he burned his ships.

He didn’t just cut ties with his past—he removed the option of retreat. There was no going back. The only choice was to push forward and conquer. It was all or nothing.

That’s how we approach every project at BTB Home Loans. We don’t do things halfway. When we take on a challenge, we’re fully committed to seeing it through, no matter the obstacles or difficulties we face along the way.
