How does a request go from application to funding?
Every request follows the same path from application to funding. It starts with three things from you: the application, your financial statements and tax returns, and an executive summary of how you plan to use the funds. We pre-qualify the request, capture and verify the documents, and structure the financing around the deal, then place it with lending partners suited to it, which can include our affiliate, Stretch Finance, LLC. The lender underwrites the request and, if it approves, issues a term sheet. Once you accept the terms, closing documents and stipulations are completed and the lender funds the business. If a request is not a fit, we say so as early as we can.

October 2026 themes
- Manufacturing led the month. Nine of the 19 closings, $2,382,800 in total, went to manufacturers: two furniture makers, two medicinal and botanical manufacturers, and makers of medical equipment, fabricated metal, apparel accessories, and construction machinery, plus one transaction recorded at the sector level. Manufacturers buy materials and pay labor well before finished goods ship and invoices are paid.
- Health care was a second thread. Four closings totaling $1,432,000, about 27% of the month, served the health economy: a $789,000 medical equipment manufacturer, a $358,000 pharmaceutical wholesaler, and two medicinal and botanical manufacturers at $175,000 and $110,000. Equipment, ingredients, and pharmacy inventory are produced and moved well before the health system pays for them.
- A wide range of transaction sizes. Transactions ranged from $18,800 to $900,000. The two largest, a $900,000 transaction for a computer services firm and a $789,000 transaction for a medical equipment manufacturer, together accounted for 32% of the month; the other 17 ranged from $18,800 to $500,000.
Working capital is the money that covers the gap between doing the work and getting paid for it. That gap is where most of the needs on a list like this begin: payroll between customer payments, inventory ahead of a season, or equipment that has to be bought before the work it enables can be billed. Owners rarely want financing for its own sake; they want what it makes possible. That is what we structure financing around, one cash cycle at a time.
