Child care cannot wait for a fix

Most businesses can limp along with a broken system for a week. A daycare usually cannot. A failed furnace in January, a burst pipe in a classroom, or a kitchen cooler that dies can force a closure, and every closed day means families scrambling and tuition at risk. Emergency funding for daycare exists for those moments when the repair or the shortfall cannot wait.

Situations owners bring to us

For items you would rather finance over the life of the asset, see equipment financing for daycare. For one-off repairs, our daycare equipment repair funding page goes deeper.

How fast this can move

Our application takes about 5 minutes. We begin with a soft credit pull and review roughly three months of business bank statements. No tax returns. Qualified businesses can be funded in as little as 24 hours. Having your statements downloaded before you start is the single biggest thing you can do to keep it quick.

Keeping an emergency from becoming a second problem

Under pressure it is tempting to take the biggest number offered. Resist that. Request what the fix costs plus a modest cushion, then read the full repayment amount and schedule in the offer before you accept. If you already carry other financing, make sure the new payment still fits alongside it. A smaller, well-sized amount usually serves the center better.

Who can apply

Established centers with steady tuition deposits, including home daycares run as sole proprietorships. FICO 500+ is considered, and credit is weighed alongside deposit history rather than on its own. If you want to see how the review works first, read how daycares qualify.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can emergency funding reach my account?

Qualified businesses can be funded in as little as 24 hours. Having bank statements ready shortens the process.

Can I apply while the center is temporarily closed?

Yes. We look at your recent deposit history, which reflects how the center normally runs.

What if I already have other financing?

Tell us up front. Existing obligations affect how much we can offer, and we want the new payment to be manageable.

Is there a minimum amount?

Funding starts at $25,000. Smaller repairs may be better handled from operating cash or a line of credit.

Do you need insurance claim paperwork?

No. If an insurance payout is coming, factor that timing into how much you request so you do not overborrow.

What should I do first when something breaks?

Get the children safe and notify families and your licensing contact if required. Then get a written repair quote, download your last three months of statements, and apply. Having the quote in hand lets you request the right amount instead of guessing under pressure, and it keeps the process moving while the contractor schedules the work.
