Is NYC retail funding a loan?

No. It is a merchant cash advance — a purchase of your future sales at a fixed total cost, not a loan. There is no fixed monthly payment; remittance scales with your sales and deposits.

How fast can a NYC retailer get funded?

Eligible applications with complete documentation typically get a same-business-day decision and funding within 24 to 72 hours. Not all applications result in offers.

Do I need collateral or perfect credit?

No. Underwriting weights your sales and deposit volume, not collateral. Retailers with steady receipts can qualify despite credit blemishes.

Can I use it to buy seasonal inventory?

Yes. Many NYC retailers use revenue-based funding to buy inventory ahead of peak season and remit the advance as those sales come in.

How much funding can I get?

Offers are typically sized to your monthly sales and deposit volume, so a retailer doing $50,000+ a month can usually access meaningful working capital.

Is this a small business loan?

No. It is a small business loan alternative — a merchant cash advance, not a loan — for NYC retailers that want speed or have been turned down by a bank.
