  How much will this loan cost me?

  First Capital Business Finance and its partner lenders offer unsecured short-term working capital loans. These function like a cross between a term loan and a merchant cash advance: Your business borrows a fixed amount, which it pays back plus a fixed fee in daily repayments automatically withdrawn from your bank account.

  Its terms are short, ranging from three months to two years. Loan amounts range from $5,000 to $2 million — but businesses typically qualify for a loan equivalent to average monthly sales.

  How it works

  Your total loan cost is determined by multiplying it by a factor rate of 1.9 to 3.3. So if you borrowed $10,000, your business would be on the hook for between $19,000 to $33,000.

  Businesses with higher revenue and better personal credit will likely qualify for lower rates. If you and your business just meet First Capital’s minimum requirements, you may be charged more or be offered a smaller loan.

  What do I need to qualify?

  To qualify for a loan from First Capital Business Finance or one of its partners, you and your business must meet these basic requirements:

  • In business for at least six months
  • At least $10,000 monthly revenue
  • Personal credit score of at least 500

  What information do I need to apply?

  First Capital Business Finance only requires business owners to submit the most recent six months of business bank statements. It uses this to evaluate your business’s cash flow and to determine how much your business is eligible to borrow. Tax returns aren’t necessary, however, other documents may be required depending on the type of financing your business needs.

  What industries does First Capital Business Finance work with?

  First Capital works with businesses in high-risk industries, including:

  • Cannabis
  • Trucking
  • Food service
  • Health care
  • Waste management
