Made for a calendar with peaks and valleys

Ready ahead of the busy months

Qualified businesses can be funded in as little as 24 hours, so you can line up inventory and crews before demand hits.

Statements show the full cycle

About 3 months of bank statements, no tax returns, and a 5-minute application. Have a peak month handy to show context.

Revenue matters more than score

FICO 500+ is considered and it begins with a soft pull. Your deposit history carries weight.

Total payback known up front

The full repayment amount and schedule are in your offer before you accept. No surprise costs after you sign.

The seasonal cash squeeze

Landscapers buy mowers in March. Pool builders hire crews in April. Gift retailers stock shelves in September for December. The pattern is the same: you spend heavily before the revenue arrives. A seasonal business can be profitable on the year and still feel short on cash for eight weeks at a time.

Revenue-based financing is useful here because repayment is tied to revenue. Depending on how the agreement is structured, collections can track the business more closely than a fixed monthly loan payment.

Mapping capital to your calendar

For illustration only: a landscaping company's planning view.

PeriodMonthly depositsCash need
Jan to Feb$45,000Equipment and early hiring
Mar to Apr$90,000Materials and crew ramp-up
May to Sep$160,000Steady operations
Oct to Dec$70,000Snow services and planning

The smartest request lands in late winter, sized to the ramp-up, with payback expected during the strong months.

How reviewers see seasonal statements

Three months of statements from a slow stretch can look thin. Help the reviewer by explaining your cycle in a sentence or two, and if you can, apply when the recent months reflect normal operations. Reviewers typically look at deposit consistency, existing obligations, and average balances, all read in context of your industry. Built for established businesses doing $60K or more a month on average.

Revenue-based financing or a line of credit?

If you need the same cushion every year, a seasonal business line of credit lets you draw and repay repeatedly. If you need one larger amount for a defined ramp-up, revenue-based financing is often simpler. For retail-specific timing, see holiday season business funding.

Common seasonal uses

Each of these has a clear payback window inside the strong months, which is exactly what makes them good candidates for revenue-based funding.

Apply before the rush

Amounts range from $25,000 to $5,000,000 through our partner Merchant Fund Express. The application takes about 5 minutes with a soft credit pull to start, no tax returns are required, and FICO 500+ is considered. Qualified files can fund in as little as 24 hours, but do not cut it close. Start your application a few weeks before the money is needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my slow months hurt my application?

They are weighed in context. Briefly explaining your seasonal cycle helps the reviewer read your statements accurately.

When is the best time to apply?

A few weeks before your ramp-up spending begins, so funds are in place before the deadline and you are not rushing.

Does repayment slow down in my off-season?

It depends on how the agreement is structured. Some collections track a share of revenue; others use a set draw. Read the remittance terms.

Can I apply again next season?

Many businesses return each year. Each request is reviewed on current statements and obligations.

Is collateral required?

Revenue-based financing is generally not secured by specific assets, though the owner may be asked to sign personally.

Pre-season stock $85,000.00
Seasonal crew $47,000.00
Holiday ads $18,500.00
Off-season upkeep $29,000.00
