When the timing can't wait

Hardware stores feel weather before anyone else. A hurricane warning sends customers looking for plywood, generators and tarps. A cold snap brings a run on heat tape and pipe insulation. If your shelves are empty when the forecast changes, those customers go somewhere else.

Other emergencies are closer to home: a burst pipe in the stockroom, a broken front window, a contractor's payment that didn't show up the week payroll is due. That's why owners search for same-day funding.

Whatever the cause, the problem is the same: you need cash in days, not the weeks a traditional bank review can take. A store that can restock or repair quickly keeps its regulars, while one that waits risks sending them to a competitor for good.

Our honest timeline

We don't promise same-day funding. What we can say: decisions move fast, and funding can arrive in as little as 24 hours for qualified businesses. Here's how it works:

  1. Fill out the 5-minute application. We start with a soft credit pull.
  2. Share about three months of business bank statements. No tax returns required.
  3. Review your offer, which shows the full repayment amount and payment schedule.
  4. Accept if it fits, and funding follows for qualified businesses.

Who we work with

Established hardware stores, home centers and lumber yards with steady deposits. FICO 500+ is considered, and sole proprietors can apply. The amount depends mainly on deposits and existing obligations, with funding from $25,000 to $5,000,000.

Speed with judgment

Fast funding is useful only if the numbers work afterward. Before you apply, pin down exactly what you need: the storm stock order, the repair quote, the payroll total. If you're buying ahead of a storm, think about what happens if the storm misses and the generators sit. Check the payment schedule against a slow month, not the rush you're preparing for.

Match the funding to the need

For a sudden repair or loss, see hardware store emergency funding. For storm or seasonal stock, see inventory funding. If most sales run on cards, compare a merchant cash advance. Not sure you qualify? Read how hardware stores qualify.
