Weather does not check your bank balance

Nurseries live closer to the weather than almost any other retail business. A late frost can damage benches of tender annuals overnight. Hail can shred shade cloth and greenhouse film. A windstorm can topple stock and damage structures. Add a walk-in cooler failure, a burst irrigation main, or a sudden drop in sales during a rainy May, and cash can get tight fast.

Emergency funding for nurseries and garden centers helps you repair, restock and keep paying staff while insurance claims and the season sort themselves out.

Urgent needs we see

Move fast, but read the offer

Decisions move fast with us, and qualified businesses can be funded in as little as 24 hours. Even so, take a few minutes with your offer. It shows the full repayment amount and the repayment schedule before you accept. Think about the weeks ahead: if the emergency hit during peak season, deposits may rebound quickly; if it hit in fall, the quiet months are next.

If insurance will reimburse part of the loss, keep in mind that claim payments can take time. Request what you need to operate now, not necessarily the full loss.

What you will need

The 5-minute application starts with a soft credit pull. Have about three months of business bank statements ready; no tax returns required. FICO 500+ considered, and sole proprietors can apply. Funding ranges from $25,000 to $5,000,000 and is sized mainly to your deposits and existing obligations.

If recent setbacks have dented your credit, see how we approach credit challenges for nurseries.

Building a buffer for next time

After the crisis, consider a business line of credit you can draw on if weather strikes again, and review your coverage for crop and structure losses with your insurance agent. Frost cloth, backup heaters and a written storm plan are also cheap insurance.

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast can emergency funding arrive?

Decisions move fast, and qualified businesses can be funded in as little as 24 hours.

Can I use the funds to replace plants lost to frost?

Yes. Restocking lost inventory is one of the most common emergency uses for nurseries.

Should I wait for my insurance claim first?

That depends on your cash position. Many owners request enough to keep operating now, then let the claim catch up later.

Does a soft credit pull affect my score?

No. We start with a soft credit pull, which does not affect your score.

What is the smallest amount available?

Funding starts at $25,000 and goes up to $5,000,000, based mainly on deposits and existing obligations.

Can I apply if storm damage cut my recent sales?

Yes. We review about three months of statements in context, and a sudden dip from a weather event is something we look at alongside your earlier deposits.

Frost restock $40,000.00
Greenhouse film $27,000.00
