Cash for the gaps between busy weeks

Grooming demand follows the calendar. Spring shedding, summer cuts and holiday bookings fill the schedule, then late winter goes quiet while rent, payroll and supplies stay the same. Working capital bridges those stretches so you can keep good groomers on staff instead of cutting hours.

We review about three months of business bank statements and consider FICO 500+. No tax returns are required, and the application takes about 5 minutes.

How we size working capital

The amount depends mainly on your deposits and existing obligations. For illustration, a salon depositing steady card revenue with no other advances will usually be offered more than a similar salon already carrying two. We fund from $25,000 to $5,000,000, and qualified businesses can be funded in as little as 24 hours.

Your offer lists the full repayment amount and the repayment schedule before you accept.

Planning around the grooming calendar

Most groomers can sketch their year from memory: a spring rush as coats blow out, steady summer cuts, a lull in early fall for some shops, then a heavy stretch before Thanksgiving and the winter holidays. January and February are often the quietest months. Knowing that pattern is the best tool you have for using working capital well.

For illustration, an owner might draw on working capital in January to keep two senior groomers on full schedules and run a rebooking promotion, then rely on spring revenue as bookings return. The key is to check that the repayment schedule in your offer fits the quiet months, not just the busy ones. We would rather you take a smaller amount that fits than a larger one that strains the salon.

It also helps to know your own numbers: average ticket, appointments per groomer per day and how many clients rebook at checkout. Those figures tell you how quickly a slow stretch turns around.

Who should apply

Established grooming salons, mobile groomers and boarding-and-grooming combos with steady deposits. Sole proprietors can apply. If you want flexibility to draw only what you need, look at a business line of credit for pet grooming as well.
