Find a business line of credit that fits your cash cycle. Assess receivables, borrowing-base availability, reserves and reporting before lender outreach.

Showing financing routes and preparation checklist for: Fund growth.
Fund growth
The first question: When does the investment start generating cash, and what supports repayment until then?
For a defined investment repaid from future operating cash flow.
For inventory and receivables that rise as sales grow.
For an eligible expansion where the program and repayment structure fit.
A profitable expansion can still run short of cash. We test the ramp-up period before choosing a debt structure.
Core documents, where available
For this goal
Talk through the options first, or sign in by email to upload what you have. We identify what is missing.
These are starting points for a conversation, not an eligibility assessment or financing offer. The right structure depends on your financials, collateral, transaction and lender requirements.
Sometimes one facility does the job. Sometimes it takes a term loan, a revolver and equipment debt working together. We evaluate the whole structure before approaching lenders.

A recurring gap between paying suppliers and collecting from customers.

Eligible acquisitions, expansions, equipment and refinancing.
What supports it
Program eligibility, repayment ability and the proposed use of funds.

Machinery, vehicles and other productive assets.
What supports it
The asset, its useful life and the borrower's credit.

Cash tied up in invoices for work already delivered.
What supports it
Eligible invoices, customer credit and the ability to collect.
What to examine
Compare advance, reserve, fees, recourse and how customers are notified. Factoring is a receivables sale.
Direct costs that fall due before the customer pays.
What supports it
The award or order, performance costs, margin and payment terms.
What to examine
The financing has to reach the right expense at the right time. An award alone does not establish eligibility.
We put the purchase price, seller debt, buyer equity, closing costs and operating cash in one sources-and-uses model. Then we test the debt against the earnings the business can actually support.
The uses of capital
The lender package needs to explain how each use is funded and how the combined structure will be repaid.
The work that gets you to market is shared across every financing category. We reconcile the financials, surface the gaps and prepare a package lenders can evaluate.
