Industries
Business Funding by Industry
A carrier's cash flow looks nothing like a salon's, and underwriters read them differently. The reason a bank declines your industry is usually the same reason a revenue-based lender accepts it.
Construction
Construction businesses get funding for payroll between draws, materials ahead of a job, and equipment. Because revenue arrives in lumps tied to project milestones, most banks read the cash flow as unstable — revenue-based funders do not, and typically fund in one to three business days.
Restaurants & Food Service
Restaurants and food service businesses fund equipment, renovations, payroll and slow-season gaps. Daily card revenue makes them a strong fit for revenue-based funding, which is approved on sales volume rather than credit score — often within 24 hours.
Retail
Retailers use funding to buy inventory ahead of a season, cover rent through slow months, and open additional locations. Approval usually rests on monthly sales rather than credit history, so businesses denied by a bank frequently still qualify.
Healthcare & Medical Practices
Medical and dental practices finance equipment, build-outs, and the gap created by slow insurance reimbursement. Practices are viewed favourably by funders because receivables are predictable, which tends to mean larger amounts and better terms.
Trucking & Transportation
Trucking companies fund trucks and trailers, fuel and maintenance, and the 30-to-90-day wait between delivering a load and being paid for it. Equipment financing is secured by the vehicle itself, which raises approval odds considerably.
Real Estate
Real estate businesses fund operating costs between closings, marketing spend, and the commission gap. Because income is irregular and commission-based, revenue-based funding is usually a better fit than a bank term loan.
Professional Services
Agencies, consultancies, law and accounting firms fund payroll, client acquisition, and the gap created by net-30 or net-60 invoicing. Steady recurring revenue tends to produce strong approval odds even without hard collateral.
Manufacturing
Manufacturers finance machinery, raw materials ahead of a large order, and the working capital tied up between production and payment. Equipment financing is secured by the machine, so approvals are common even with limited credit history.
Auto Repair & Mechanics
Auto repair shops fund diagnostic equipment, lifts, parts inventory and expansion. Consistent daily revenue makes shops a good fit for revenue-based funding, which is approved on sales rather than credit score.
Landscaping
Landscaping businesses fund equipment, crews, and the winter revenue gap. Seasonality is the reason banks decline them and the reason revenue-based funders do not — repayment flexes with sales instead of a fixed monthly figure.
Cleaning Services
Cleaning companies fund payroll ahead of client payment, equipment and supplies, and the cost of taking on a large contract. Recurring contract revenue is exactly what revenue-based funders underwrite against.
E-commerce
E-commerce businesses fund inventory ahead of peak season, ad spend, and the gap between buying stock and selling it. Platform sales data makes revenue easy to verify, which usually means a fast decision.
Technology
Technology companies fund hiring, product development and go-to-market spend without giving up equity. Recurring subscription revenue underwrites well, and funding arrives in days rather than the months a raise takes.
Salons & Beauty
Salons, spas and barbershops fund chairs and equipment, renovations, and the cost of adding stylists. Steady card revenue supports revenue-based approval, typically without a strong credit score.
Gyms & Fitness
Gyms and fitness studios fund equipment, build-outs and membership drives. Recurring membership billing is predictable revenue, which funders weigh more heavily than credit score.
