Why this exists

Why the usual lenders say no.

Your revenue is real. The problem is the form. Here is why traditional underwriting turns away healthy operators in this space, and what we do differently.

01

Low credit scores

Traditional banks view independent shops as high risk due to equipment costs.

Specialty lenders evaluate based on daily revenue and shop history.
02

Recent tax liens

Banks often automate rejections for any outstanding tax filings.

We work with lenders who prioritize current cash flow over past hiccups.
03

Short time in business

Corporate banks require five years of clean tax returns for approval.

Alternative options focus on current monthly volume and shop contracts.
