What "same-day" really means for a restaurant

When a walk-in cooler dies on a Friday afternoon, nobody wants to hear about a six-week underwriting queue. That is why owners search for same-day funding. We will be straight with you: we do not promise money the same day you apply. What we do offer is a process built for speed. Decisions move fast, and funding can land in as little as 24 hours for qualified businesses.

For a restaurant, that window usually covers the problems that cannot wait: a repair before the weekend rush, a payroll gap after a slow stretch, or a food order you need to place before prices move.

Why restaurants are a good fit for a fast review

Restaurants run on daily card sales and steady deposits. That deposit history tells us more about your ability to repay than a stack of tax returns ever would. We look at about three months of business bank statements to see how money moves through your account, including the busy nights and the quiet Tuesdays.

Which product fits the problem

Fast money is only useful if the structure matches the need. A few common matches we see in food service:

How to keep the process moving

Most delays come from missing paperwork, not from the review itself. Have your last three months of business bank statements ready as PDFs, make sure the business name on the account matches your application, and know roughly what you need the money for. If the need is an emergency repair, our restaurant emergency funding page walks through that scenario.

Every offer shows the full repayment amount and the payment schedule before you accept. Read it, ask questions, and only sign when the numbers make sense for your kitchen. When you are ready, start your application.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can my restaurant get funded the same day I apply?

We do not promise same-day funding. Decisions move fast, and funding can arrive in as little as 24 hours for qualified businesses once the review is complete.

How much can a restaurant request?

Funding ranges from $25,000 to $5,000,000. The amount offered depends mainly on your deposits and any existing obligations showing in your bank statements.

Will applying hurt my credit?

We start with a soft credit pull, so seeing your options does not affect your score the way a hard inquiry would.

My credit is not great. Should I still apply?

FICO scores of 500 and up are considered. Funders weigh credit alongside your deposit history, so steady sales can carry a lot of weight in the review.

What documents do I need?

About three months of business bank statements and a 5-minute application. No tax returns are required.

Walk-in cooler $32,000.00
