Sales-based funding for a city that sells all day

San Francisco businesses live on daily receipts. Restaurants in the Mission, retail along Union Square, coffee bars in SoMa that depend on office traffic, and shops that fill up when conventions and tourists come through. Those deposits are steady, but they move with the calendar, the weather, and whether people are in the office that week.

A merchant cash advance fits that rhythm. You receive a lump sum up front based on your future sales, and repayment comes from those sales on the schedule shown in your offer. It is built for businesses that already have consistent deposits, not for a concept that has not opened yet.

Where SF owners put the money

If you expect several smaller needs rather than one, a business line of credit in San Francisco may suit you better. For general cash flow, see working capital loans in San Francisco.

How we review an advance

We read about three months of business bank statements. The questions are simple: how much comes in, how evenly it arrives, and what already goes out each month for existing obligations. Those three things drive the size of an offer more than anything else.

Credit is part of it. FICO scores from 500 are considered, and we start with a soft credit pull so looking at options does not ding your score. We do not ask for tax returns, and sole proprietors can apply.

From application to funding

The application takes about 5 minutes. Once your statements are in, we put together an offer that shows the full repayment amount and how repayment works before you agree to anything. Qualified businesses can be funded in as little as 24 hours. Funding ranges from $25,000 to $5,000,000.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a merchant cash advance for a San Francisco business?

How much can my business get?

Funding runs from $25,000 to $5,000,000. The amount depends mainly on your monthly deposits and the obligations already coming out of your account.

We start with a soft credit pull, which does not affect your score. FICO 500 and up is considered.
