How long does it take to actually receive funds in Memphis?

Short-term products (MCA, working capital, line of credit) typically fund in 24–48 hours once documents are signed. Equipment financing closes in 2–7 business days. SBA and commercial real estate close on traditional timelines (30–60 days for SBA, 2–6 weeks for CRE bridge).

Can I get a restaurant loan in Memphis with bad credit?

Yes — for revenue-based products (MCA, working capital advances), approval weighs deposit consistency, time-in-business, and industry far more heavily than score. We regularly fund Memphis restaurants in the FICO 500–600 range. SBA and conventional term loans require stronger credit; if those are a fit, we'll say so.

What's the difference between an MCA and a term loan for a Memphis restaurant?

An MCA is repaid as a percentage of daily or weekly revenue — flexible when sales swing, more expensive on a per-dollar basis. A term loan is a fixed lump sum repaid in equal monthly installments over 1–5 years — cheaper, but requires stronger qualifications and a defined use of funds. Many Memphis restaurants start with an MCA for speed, then refinance into a term loan or line of credit once the business stabilizes.

Do you fund restaurants in Cooper-Young, Overton Square, and the surrounding the Mid-South?

Yes. We fund restaurants across Memphis and the wider the Mid-South, including Cooper-Young, Overton Square, Crosstown, Downtown, and the surrounding metro. Local market knowledge is part of how we structure offers.
