The cash gap every shop knows

You pay for parts when you order them. You pay your techs every week. The customer pays when the car leaves the bay, and the fleet account pays when its accounting department gets around to it. That gap between money out and money in is where working capital earns its keep.

We provide a lump sum your shop can put toward whatever is squeezing cash flow right now, with a repayment schedule laid out in the offer before you accept.

Where shops put working capital

Every shop is different, but the same handful of needs come up again and again:

  1. Building a parts inventory so common jobs are not stalled waiting on a delivery.
  2. Covering payroll through winter or a slow summer stretch. See our auto repair payroll funding page for more.
  3. Carrying a fleet or municipal contract that pays on net terms.
  4. Marketing a new service line, like ADAS calibration or EV maintenance.
  5. Opening a second location or adding bays. Our auto repair expansion funding page covers that in more depth.

How the review works

The application takes about five minutes. After that we review about three months of business bank statements. No tax returns are required, and we start with a soft credit pull. FICO 500+ is considered, and sole proprietors can apply.

We are looking for established shops with steady deposits. We weigh your average monthly deposits, the balance you typically carry, and what you already owe. Those factors drive the amount more than anything else.

Read the offer like a work order

Before you accept, your offer shows the full repayment amount and the payment schedule. Treat it like a work order you would hand a customer: the total, the timing, and nothing hidden. If the payments do not fit how your shop actually runs, it is better to ask for a smaller amount than to stretch.

Funding can arrive in as little as 24 hours for qualified businesses.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is working capital different from a merchant cash advance?

Yes. Working capital is a lump sum with a set repayment schedule. A merchant cash advance is repaid from a share of future card sales. Shops with lots of check or ACH payments often prefer working capital.

Can I use working capital for parts and payroll at the same time?

Yes. Most shops use it for a mix of needs. Knowing roughly how you will split it helps when you apply.

What range of funding is available?

From $25,000 to $5,000,000. The amount depends mainly on your deposits and existing obligations.

Do you need my tax returns?

No. We work from about three months of business bank statements.

Can a newer shop qualify?

We work with established businesses that show steady deposits. If your account history is short, apply and we will tell you plainly what we see.

Parts stock $26,000.00
Winter payroll $48,000.00
Fleet contract $65,000.00
Shop marketing $12,500.00
