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.

New York/New York City

Retail Business Funding in New York City

New York City retailers and ecommerce sellers buy inventory months ahead of demand and ride sharp holiday and tourist swings against steep rents. Y Millennial Funding gives NYC retail businesses revenue-based capital structured as a merchant cash advance — not a loan — underwritten on your sales and deposit volume rather than collateral. If your business does $50,000 or more a month and has six-plus months of history, you can get a same-day decision and funding commonly within 24 to 72 hours. Not all applicants qualify.

Merchant cash advances are not loans. Funding amounts, terms, and timing vary based on business performance and underwriting. Not all applicants qualify.

Retail in New York City

Storefronts and online sellers across NYC tie up cash in inventory ahead of peak periods, so a strong Q4 still requires fronting stock in Q3 with little bank flexibility.

Local Market Insights

Boutiques, specialty shops, ecommerce brands, and multi-location retailers front inventory and marketing against future sales. Revenue-based funding advances against that volume and remits as a share of receipts.

Unique Challenges We Address

Banks are slow and collateral-driven, and a supplier discount or seasonal buy won't wait weeks for an approval.
