One file, read against both (illustrative)

An auto repair shop, 2 years in business, deposits $32,000 a month ($384,000 a year), the owner’s FICO is 620, and it carries one advance with $18,000 left at $150 per business day. It wants $60,000, funded Monday, November 2, 2026.

Against QuickBridge’s published minimums it clears all three: more than 6 months, more than $250,000 a year and a business bank account. Against ours it misses Tier 1 (under 3 years, under 650) and reads against Tier 2, which allows the open advance. Both are worth quoting. What decides it is whether the payment fits, so here is the same assumed price applied to the shop’s numbers, a total repayment of $78,000 on $60,000 over about 252 business days, starting Tuesday, November 3, 2026.

Take $60,000 on topTake $40,000 on top$60,000 with a buyout
New payment per business day$309.52 ($78,000 / 252)$206.35 ($52,000 / 252)$309.52, with $18,000 of the $60,000 used to pay off the old advance
Existing advance per month (21 days)$3,150$3,150$0
New payment per month (21 days)$6,500$4,333$6,500
Total debits as a share of $32,00030.2%23.4%20.3%
Cash left for the shop$60,000$40,000$42,000

Stacking the full $60,000 on top of the open advance puts almost a third of deposits into payments. Taking less, or using part of the money to retire the existing balance, brings the burden down. That arithmetic applies to any offer, from anyone.

All figures in worked examples are illustrations of the arithmetic, not offers or quotes. Real terms depend on your file and the funder.

When QuickBridge likely fits, and when another path does

QuickBridge may fit

A request up to $500,000, annual sales of $250,000 or more, a preference for a defined 6 to 18 month term and an early payoff discount set out before you accept.

Another path may fit

A request above $500,000, sales under $250,000 a year, credit in the 500s, or an existing advance you want bought out or consolidated. See MCA buyout and reverse consolidation.

A cheaper option first

A business with 3+ years, a 650+ FICO and $25,000 a month may clear Tier 1 for a line of credit from 1% per month or a term loan at 0% origination.

Wait instead

If payments would take a third of deposits, or the account runs negative several days a month, fix that first. More money on top usually makes the next month harder.
