Working capital
Working capital loans cover operating expenses that recur faster than revenue deposits. Inventory restocks, payroll during slow weeks, utility bills, marketing campaigns, and supplier invoices all qualify. Unlike equipment financing or commercial real estate loans, working capital carries no asset lien. Lenders evaluate your bank statements, receivables aging, and profit-and-loss trends to size the advance and structure repayment around your cash cycle.
Retailers and service providers in Los Altos often carry higher per-square-foot costs than neighboring cities, and customers expect curated inventory or deep expertise. A design studio near the Los Altos History Museum may need fabric and materials weeks before a client pays the final invoice. A family-owned market might restock specialty goods that turn slowly but anchor the brand. Working capital loans let you honor those commitments without draining reserves or delaying payroll.
We pull your last six months of bank statements and your year-to-date P&L, then model cash conversion cycles against lender appetites. Some lenders prefer daily ACH sweeps tied to credit-card batches; others offer fixed weekly draws. We present each option's total cost of capital, repayment cadence, and prepayment flexibility so you can weigh trade-offs before signing. Because we broker, not lend, our incentive is match quality, not loan volume.
