Expansion capital that reads your track record

Lease and build-out on your clock

Qualified businesses can be funded in as little as 24 hours, so a good lease is less likely to slip away.

Your current deposits do the talking

About 3 months of statements from location one, no tax returns, and a 5-minute application.

Credit still being built? Fine

FICO 500+ is considered and it starts with a soft pull. Proven revenue carries real weight.

Model the payback first

Your offer shows the full repayment amount and schedule up front, so you can test it against your opening plan.

Expansion is a numbers decision

Opening a second location is the point where many owners discover that a profitable business and available cash are two different things. Build-out, deposits on a lease, equipment, signage, hiring, and opening inventory all hit before the new doors produce a dollar. A bank may want two years of returns and collateral. Revenue-based financing looks instead at how your existing business performs right now.

Building the opening budget

For illustration only, a café owner's planning sheet:

Line itemEstimate
Lease deposit and first month$18,000
Build-out and fixtures$65,000
Espresso and kitchen equipment$40,000
Hiring and training before opening$22,000
Opening inventory and marketing$15,000
Total$160,000

Add a cushion for the ramp period, when the new location is open but not yet at full volume.

Splitting the need across products

Not every dollar has to come from one source. Equipment can often be funded separately through equipment financing, leaving revenue-based financing for build-out, staffing, and inventory. A business line of credit can cover the uneven months while the new site ramps. Matching each cost to the right tool keeps total obligations easier to manage.

Protect location one

The biggest expansion risk is draining the original business. Before signing, check that remittances can be covered by the first location's deposits alone, since the new site may take months to break even. If the math only works when location two hits its targets immediately, reduce the amount or phase the opening.

Signals that you are ready to expand

If most of these are true, the numbers and the operations are both pointing the same direction. If not, a few more months of preparation may lead to a stronger file and a smoother opening.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use revenue from my first location to qualify?

Yes. The review is based on your existing business deposits, which is what makes this useful before the new site opens.

How much should I request for a second location?

Build an itemized opening budget plus a ramp cushion, then request what the plan needs. The amount offered depends mainly on deposits and existing obligations.

Does the new location need its own bank account?

Not to apply. Many owners open one for clean tracking, but the review uses your current business statements.

Can I combine this with equipment financing?

Many owners split costs that way. Each product is reviewed on its own merits.

Is a business plan required?

No formal business plan is required, but a short use-of-funds summary helps the reviewer understand the request.

Lease deposit $35,000.00
Fixtures $52,000.00

How to improve your chances

  • Run location one's revenue through one business account
  • Keep NSFs and negative days off recent statements
  • Show stable or growing monthly deposits
