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

Short-term products (MCA, working capital, line of credit) typically fund in 24–72 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 retail store loan in Raleigh 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 Raleigh retail stores 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 Raleigh retail store?

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 Raleigh retail stores start with an MCA for speed, then refinance into a term loan or line of credit once the business stabilizes.

Do you fund retail stores in Downtown, Glenwood South, and the surrounding the Research Triangle?

Yes. We fund retail stores across Raleigh and the wider the Research Triangle, including Downtown, Glenwood South, North Hills, Cary, and the surrounding metro. Local market knowledge is part of how we structure offers.

Will applying hurt my credit?

No. Pre-qualification uses a soft credit pull only — there is no hard inquiry until you accept terms.
