“We take cards all day and the weekly remittance just tracks that. In a slow February it never felt like a cliff.”

Common questions

Answers before you apply

A merchant cash advance, working capital loan or equipment approval can fund in as little as 24 hours. Term loans and lines of credit typically run 48 hours. Commercial real estate runs 30 to 60 days and SBA 30 to 90 — those two involve more documentation and, in the SBA case, a participating lender.

Every product we offer repays monthly except the merchant cash advance, which remits weekly. That is deliberate: weekly remittance is what lets an advance track your sales rather than land as a single monthly charge.

We fund our core products — merchant cash advances, working capital, term loans, lines of credit and equipment — from our own capital, which is why we can decide quickly. SBA loans are issued by participating lenders, and the largest commercial real estate transactions are arranged with funding partners. We tell you which applies to your file before you proceed.

Nothing. There is no application fee and no obligation to accept an offer. The complete cost of capital is disclosed in writing before you sign anything.

At least one year trading, $180,000 or more in gross annual revenue, an active business bank account in your company’s name, and a U.S.-based operation.
