How fast can a Chicago catering company get funded?

Most applications get a same-day decision, with funding commonly landing within 24 to 72 hours. Not all applicants qualify.

Do I need good credit to qualify?

No. Approval is based on your business deposits and revenue rather than your personal credit score. Chicago catering companies declined by a bank are regularly approved on revenue.

How much revenue does my business need?

Funding is available to Chicago catering companies doing $25,000 or more a month in revenue. Not all applicants qualify.

Can I fund a large event before the client pays?

Yes. Chicago caterers commonly use revenue-based funding to cover food, rentals, and event staffing ahead of payment, remitted as revenue arrives.

A merchant cash advance is a small business loan alternative, not a loan. If your business does $25,000 or more a month, you can get a same-day decision and funding commonly within 24 to 72 hours. Not all applicants qualify.
