Working Capital
Fast, flexible funding to keep your daily operations running — payroll, inventory, rent, and the unexpected.
Overview
Working capital funding is built for the operational moments that can't wait — covering payroll, restocking inventory, paying rent, or handling unexpected expenses. Approvals are based primarily on recent business revenue and cash flow rather than tax returns or balance sheets.
With minimal paperwork and decisions in hours rather than weeks, working capital is the fastest way to put cash to work in your business when timing matters more than the lowest possible rate.
Working capital is the most accessible product in the small-business capital stack. The trade-off is straightforward: you pay more per dollar than you would on an SBA loan or term loan, but you get cash in 24 hours with 550 FICO and 6 months of operating history. For many businesses, that speed-vs-cost trade is exactly the right call — a $5,000 cost to capture a $25,000 opportunity is a great trade.
Pricing is usually expressed as a factor rate (e.g., 1.15–1.40) on the total advance, repaid daily or weekly over 3–24 months. On an annualized basis that pencils out to 25–60% APR, sometimes higher. Rates and terms vary by lender and borrower profile. The right question isn't "is this expensive?" — it's "does the use of these funds generate more than they cost over the term?"
A common borrower archetype: a restaurant doing $40K/month gets a $30,000 working capital advance Monday morning to replace a failed walk-in cooler the same afternoon, preventing a week of lost revenue. By the time the advance is paid off six months later, the cooler has paid for itself many times over. That's the working capital math. For larger or longer-horizon needs, talk to an advisor at /contact or apply with assistance.

What you can use working capital for
Emergency equipment replacement
When critical equipment fails — a walk-in cooler, a delivery van, a production line — working capital gets it replaced in 24 hours, not 30 days.
Cover payroll during a cash crunch
Bridge an AR delay or a slow week so paychecks clear on time. Loss of a key employee is far more expensive than the cost of capital.
Take a time-sensitive opportunity
A bulk inventory discount, a one-time supplier liquidation, a competitor's customer base for sale — opportunities with a clock benefit from fast capital.
Bridge a slow season
Cover fixed costs during 60–90 days of seasonal slowdown without depleting reserves.
Hire fast
Bring on a new salesperson or technician immediately when a key customer needs more capacity — and pay back as the new revenue arrives.
Fund a marketing test
Run a 60–90 day paid ad test or trade-show booth where the math will be obvious by the time the advance is half paid off.
How working capital compares
Working capital is faster, term loan is cheaper
A term loan takes 2–5 days at lower APR but requires 600+ FICO and 12+ months in business. Working capital takes 24 hours and accepts 550 FICO.
Different use cases entirely
SBA loans take 30–90 days for $250K+ planned investments. Working capital is for fast, short-term operational needs under $500K.
Line of credit beats working capital for repeat users
A line of credit is cheaper per dollar if you can qualify (600+ FICO). Working capital is the right answer when you can't, or when you need cash today.
