Our Line of Credit options are pretty simple, we approve you for a max amount, and you are allowed to draw from it as you see fit. You only make payments on what you draw.

It’s really the access you have to the funds traditional line you can access when you need it as you need it; where as the nontraditional would we approve you up to an amount, you make a draw from it and the remainder is still available to you pending the most recent bank statement or month to date to access any of the remaining funds

$5 million is our max amount for US and $350,000 for Canada in the first round of funding, our approvals are typically dependent on 3 factors:

  1. Time in business
  2. Personal payment history
  3. Average of monthly Deposits

We do have programs up to 36 months for US and 24 months for Canada, typically for top tier clientele. The longer we go out the more expensive the funds tend to be, our sweet spot tends to be about 9-12 months for both US and Canada.

Understood, the bank is not going to be able to get that low. Our programs start in the low teens and go up from there based on deposits and credit score.This is a non-collateralized option, so there is no collateral needed and I can have it in your account today. Tell me more about what you want to use the funds for

Term Loan – Financing over a specified term (typically 6-24 month spans) with a lower fixed rates & payments (meaning the payment will always be the same). With term loans it is not an advance, and can typically have interest written off on taxes. Minimal/no fees for the most part


MCA (Merchant Cash Advance) – Is a cash advance/deposit of a specified % of monthly sales. With a payment of that % will be drawn from the account daily/weekly. Tends to be around 4-10 month terms, Rates/Payments are fixed; typically has lender fees associated and rates tend to be a little higher.

Most of our programs have early pay incentives. Depending on the program the discount can range from 5% – 50% off the cost of the funds. How long do you plan on having the funds out until you paid it back in full?

Yes, we do offer consolidation programs; Savings as high as 55%, Offering additional funds built into the Reverse Consolidation, however you would need to meet the following criteria

  1. Must have at least 2 position, with at least $30K total debt outstanding

  2. Monthly Avg. Revenue 30K

  3. Re: Banks – 90 Day Max NSF’s (5) Max Negative Days (5 Days)

This is not our most preferred method of consolidation, however we do have it in the case you need it. During this you will not be able to receive any additional funding, and we are putting funds in your account each week to cover the cost of your current loans, and you are paying us back directly.

No we do not, so you do not have to put up any of you assets for this type of financing

We have various programs, we offer short term business financing, term loan options, business lines of credit, equipment financing, and the list goes on, what’s the solution that you have in mind, how much and what’s the use of funds for?
