Equipment Financing
If your business needs new equipment, but you don’t have enough available cash to make the purchase then this is a great option for you. Our equipment financing product allows you to choose between purchasing your new equipment or leasing it with rights to renew. Equipment loans involve regular payments that include both the principal and interest. Equipment leasing is similar to leasing a car where you pay “rent” for use of the equipment over a specified amount of time.

Business Loans
Available for both short- and long-term needs. Our business loans provide you with an agreed upon sum of money that you will pay back over a specified amount of time, with interest. The amount of interest paid and the total overall cost will depend on whether you opt for a short-term loan, which typically has a higher interest rate but a lower overall cost or a long-term loan, which tends to have a lower interest rate but a higher overall cost.

Helix
Helix is a financing product exclusively for the healthcare industry. The economics of running an independent practice have changed extensively over the past couple of years, making it difficult to manage cash flow. The Helix underwriting process, financing length and repayment terms all take into account the new reality of lower insurance premiums and longer wait times for insurance payouts being faced by independent healthcare practices.
Revenue Based Financing
Revenue Based Financing is an up-front sum of cash that is based on a business’s future sales. Though not technically a loan, this is a great option for businesses that need access to cash quickly. Because this is not a loan, there is no APR or compounded interest associated with this product. Instead, borrowers agree to pay a fixed percentage in addition to the amount provided.

Business Line of Credit
Similar to a personal credit card, a business line of credit provides you with a line of credit that is accessible for you to use at any time. You only pay interest on the portion of the line that you use, and once paid, funds become available for you to use again. This is a great option for businesses who want to stabilize their cash flow or those who are in need of short-term working capital.

SBA Loans
The Small Business Administration (SBA) is a federal agency that provides various programs to assist the growth and development of small businesses.
SBA-guaranteed loans are made by a private lender and guaranteed up to 80 percent by the SBA, which helps reduce the lender’s risk and helps the lender provide financing that’s otherwise unavailable at reasonable terms.
Invoice Factoring
If your cash flow is hurting because you are waiting on invoices to be fulfilled from customers, then this is a great financing option for you. With Invoice Factoring you can receive a lump sum of cash that will keep your business running while you wait on payment of these invoices. With invoice factoring there is no APR or compounded interest, instead you are typically charged a one-time set up fee and transaction fee which is a percentage of the amount provided to you.

Purchase Order Financing
Purchase Order Financing is designed to provide businesses with the cash they need to fulfill a customer order. With this option, the financed amount goes directly to your supplier to cover the manufacturing and delivery of goods to your customer. The larger the transaction amount, the lower your rates will typically be. You will have a starting rate that is determined during the underwriting process, and after the first month the rate will increase.
