Short-term funding built around your opportunity
Need a lump sum now with a clear, predictable payback? David helps you explore short-term funding options for a defined opportunity - repaid on a schedule you understand up front, with zero surprises.
One lump sum. Clear payments. Zero guesswork.
A short-term business loan puts a defined amount of capital in your account that you repay over a set term. The payment amount is agreed to before you sign, so you know exactly what's leaving your account and when. No surprises, no adjustable rates that creep up - just clean, predictable debt service you can plan around.
This is the product for businesses that need to fund something specific - a renovation, a large inventory buy, a new hire class, a fleet expansion - where the goal and timeline are defined. You take the lump sum, execute on your plan, and repay as your revenue comes in.
Contractors, retailers, restaurant owners, trucking companies, medical practices, and service businesses all explore short-term loans to fund projects that are too big for operating cash but too time-sensitive for a traditional bank's timeline. David can help you figure out if it's the right fit.

What can you fund with a short-term loan?
Short-term loans excel when you have a specific goal and a defined amount. Here are the most common use cases.
Renovation or Build-Out
Upgrade your space, open a second location, or complete a tenant improvement before the lease requires it - without touching your cash reserves.
Large Inventory Purchase
Buy in bulk before a big season, lock in pre-price-increase pricing, or fulfill a large new order you wouldn't otherwise have inventory for.
Hiring & Onboarding
Land that great candidate, bring on a second crew, or staff up ahead of a busy period - before the revenue from that growth has arrived to pay for it.
Equipment Down Payment
Cover the down payment on a larger equipment lease or purchase, or bridge the gap between what you have and what the vendor requires upfront.
Marketing Campaign Launch
Spend on paid search, social ads, or direct mail at a level that actually moves the needle - then let the leads and revenue fund the repayment.
Seasonal Demand Surge
Fully staff, stock, and prep for your peak season - not half-ready because operating cash only stretched so far. Max out when it matters most.
Simple qualifications. Real decisions.
We built our approval process around your business's actual performance - not a credit score that doesn't tell the whole story. Here's what you need:
-
6+ months in business
At least six months of operating history shows us you have traction, not just a plan.
-
Consistent monthly revenue
Revenue is a key signal. Stronger, more consistent revenue generally unlocks larger loan amounts and better terms.
-
Active business checking account
We verify cash flow and deposit funds to your business account - a personal account isn't sufficient.
-
US-based operation
We fund businesses in all 50 states. Your company must be registered and operating in the US.
-
No open bankruptcies
Discharged bankruptcies may still qualify. Active, open bankruptcies are not eligible at this time.
-
All credit levels considered
Our network of private lenders approves based on cash flow first. Imperfect credit is not automatically a disqualifier.
Check your eligibility in a few minutes
Applying is completely free and gives you a real answer from David - not an automated maybe.

Short-Term Business Loan FAQs
What is a short-term business loan?
A short-term business loan is a lump-sum funding product with a defined repayment period. You receive the amount upfront, then pay it back with regular payments over the agreed term. It's designed for businesses that need a specific amount of capital for a defined project or goal - not ongoing, open-ended cash needs.
How is a short-term loan different from a line of credit?
A short-term loan gives you a fixed lump sum upfront that you repay on a set schedule. A business line of credit is revolving - you draw what you need, repay it, and can draw again up to your limit. Short-term loans are best when you know the exact amount you need; a line of credit is better for ongoing or unpredictable cash needs.
How fast will I get the money after approval?
Timing depends on the funding partner and your business's profile. David will give you a realistic timeline for your specific situation once he reviews your application.
Are the payments fixed or variable?
Payment structure varies by funding partner and offer. Many short-term loans use a fixed payment amount for the life of the loan, which makes cash flow planning straightforward and reliable. David will confirm the structure of any specific offer before you sign.
Can I pay off my short-term loan early?
Early payoff terms vary by funding partner. Some offer early payoff options, sometimes with a discount on the remaining balance. David will walk you through the exact terms of your specific offer before you sign anything - so you know your options upfront.
