Advance funding based on your sales

A merchant cash advance is an upfront sum repaid from a share of your future sales. It works best for Louisville businesses that see regular card or bank deposits: bars and restaurants in the Highlands and NuLu, auto repair shops, boutiques, salons and service companies across Jefferson County.

Because the review centers on your sales history, a solid run of deposits can count for a lot even if your credit has some marks.

Matching the Louisville calendar

Spring is a big season here, with Derby festivities filling restaurants, hotels and shops. Fall brings bourbon tourism and football weekends. Winter can be quieter for hospitality. An advance gives you capital ahead of the busy stretch so you are not stocking shelves out of the till.

Common uses

Requirements

Apply in about five minutes with a soft credit pull to start. Share roughly three months of business bank statements; tax returns are not required. FICO 500 and up is considered, and sole proprietors can apply. Funding runs from $25,000 to $5,000,000, and qualified businesses can be funded in as little as 24 hours.

How we look at your statements

When we review your three months of bank statements, we are looking for the rhythm of your business. Are deposits coming in regularly? Do balances stay healthy between busy days? Are there many overdrafts or returned items? Are other financing payments already leaving the account? None of these alone decides the outcome, but together they shape the size and structure of an offer. A Louisville bar with steady weekend deposits and few obligations tells a clear story, and a clear story is what helps us move quickly on your behalf.
