The quiet weeks are the expensive ones

Rent is due on the first whether the chairs were full or not. Barbers on commission still expect to be paid. Product orders, insurance, utilities and software subscriptions keep coming. In a barbershop, the busy weeks around holidays and back-to-school can carry the shop, but the dead stretch in January or a rainy month can leave the account thin.

Working capital is a lump sum for those day-to-day costs. It is not tied to one purchase, so you can use it where the shop needs it.

Ways shops use working capital

If the slow season is the main issue, our barbershop slow season funding page goes deeper.

What we look at

We fund established barbershops with steady deposits, from $25,000 to $5,000,000. The amount depends mainly on deposits and the obligations you already carry. We review about three months of business bank statements and start with a soft credit pull. FICO 500+ is considered, no tax returns are required, and sole proprietors can apply.

Shops that take a mix of card and cash should deposit cash regularly into the business account. Deposits we can see count; cash in a drawer does not show up on a statement.

Working capital or something else?

If you need money once for a clear purpose, working capital is simple. If you expect to need smaller amounts again and again, a business line of credit may suit you better. Buying chairs, clippers or sterilization units? Equipment financing for barbershops ties the cost to the gear.

From application to funds

The application takes about five minutes. Once we have your statements, decisions move quickly, and funding can arrive in as little as 24 hours for qualified businesses. Your offer lists the full repayment amount and the payment schedule before you accept. Apply now.
