Seasonality is normal. Funders know it.

Landscapers, pool companies, ski shops, tax preparers, beach restaurants and holiday retailers all live on a calendar. A few months carry the year. When a funder looks at three months of statements, the question is which three months, and what they say about the rest of the year.

How a seasonal file gets read

Plan the payment around the calendar

The biggest mistake we see is taking money at the top of the season with a payment that only works during the peak. Look at the repayment schedule in your offer and check it against your slowest months, not your best ones. We lay the schedule out up front so you can do that before you accept. If you are coming off a quiet stretch, our page on funding after a slow quarter covers that timing.

Common seasonal uses

Stocking up before the rush, hiring and training seasonal staff, servicing equipment in the off-season, and covering fixed costs when sales dip are the usual reasons. A business line of credit can suit repeat needs, while a one-time working capital amount suits a single push. Revenue-based financing is another option worth asking about.

For illustration

A landscaping company sees most of its deposits from spring through fall, with a thin winter. If it applies in February, its statements look slow. If it applies in July, they look strong. Neither snapshot is the full picture. Telling us your cycle up front, and checking that the payment works in February too, helps everyone make a better call.

How to apply

Five-minute application, soft credit pull to start, about three months of bank statements and no tax returns. If your statements fall in a slow period, say so in your application. Start here.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get funding during my off-season?

You can apply any time. Funders will weigh where you are in your cycle, so explaining your seasonality helps them read the statements correctly.

Is it better to apply during my busy season?

Busy-season statements usually show stronger deposits, but the payment still has to work in the slow months. Timing is a trade-off worth thinking through.

Do you need a full year of statements to see my season?

We start with about three months of business bank statements. Extra context about your cycle is welcome.

Which product works best for seasonal businesses?

It depends on the need. A line of credit can help with recurring gaps, while working capital or a merchant cash advance fits a single pre-season push.

What credit score do I need?

FICO 500+ is considered, and your deposit history carries real weight.

Can a line of credit help with seasonal gaps?

It can be a good fit for recurring needs, since you draw when you need it. Whether it is available depends on your full file.

Pre-season stock $85,000.00
Seasonal hires $42,000.00
Off-season repairs $36,000.00
