FAQ

Common questions from restaurant & food service owners

Can restaurants with bad credit get funded?

Yes. Many of our lender partners specialize in restaurant financing and look beyond credit scores — they evaluate revenue, daily sales volume, and time in business. Scores as low as 500 may qualify.

How quickly can a restaurant get funded?

Many restaurant loans fund within 24–48 hours, especially merchant cash advances based on daily sales. SBA loans typically take 2–4 weeks.

Do I need collateral for a restaurant loan?

Not always. Unsecured working capital loans and MCAs typically require no collateral. Equipment financing uses the equipment itself as collateral.

Can I get funding for a new restaurant?

Startups and new restaurants can qualify for certain products. SBA loans, equipment financing, and some alternative lenders work with businesses under 1 year old.
