Built for card-swiping businesses in the Ocean State

Rhode Island runs on small businesses that take cards all day: restaurants on Federal Hill, shops and inns in Newport, seafood spots along the coast, salons and cafes in Warwick and Cranston. Many of them do their biggest months in summer and need cash before the crowds show up.

A merchant cash advance gives you a lump sum now in exchange for a portion of future sales. It is a fit for businesses with steady card or deposit activity that want funding tied to how they actually sell.

How a merchant cash advance works with us

You receive a lump sum from $25,000 to $5,000,000. In return, you agree to remit a share of future receivables until the full agreed amount is delivered. Your offer shows that full repayment amount and how the remittance schedule works before you accept, so there is nothing to discover later.

We review about three months of business bank statements. There are no tax returns to gather, the application takes about 5 minutes, and we start with a soft credit pull. FICO 500+ is considered, and sole proprietors can apply.

Seasonality and timing

For a Newport gift shop or a Block Island ferry-season cafe, the hard part is spring: hiring, stocking and repairs all come due before revenue picks up. A merchant cash advance can bridge that gap. Year-round businesses in Providence use it too, for kitchen upgrades, a second location buildout or a bulk inventory deal.

Compare before you choose

If your revenue is more invoice-based than card-based, look at working capital in Rhode Island or a business line of credit in Rhode Island. If you want to see where you stand, start the application. Funding can arrive in as little as 24 hours for qualified businesses.

Will I know the total cost before I agree?
