Every Redwood City operator who contacts us gets several funding partners' terms laid out so the lowest-cost one is easy to spot. You see every number in advance and sign only what works.
What are the financing options in Redwood City?
The city's employer count stands at 2,366, and restaurants form the largest share at 138. Here is how the five options split the work:
- Same-day advance: a lump sum within hours of signing, sized to your deposits; built for surprise costs at any of 138 restaurants.
- Second position advance: for business owners halfway through one advance who need more; a remodeling company uses it on a second crew or bigger contracts.
- MCA refinance: refinances two or more advances into one; the daily debit drops, and a landscaping company can cover crews, fuel, plants and mowers on time.
- Revenue-based financing: payments set as a share of revenue, which suits trades that swing with holiday shopping and seasonal changeovers.
- Line of credit: ongoing access to cash for the period when a dental practice carries lab bills and payroll until insurers pay.
We quote all five for Redwood City owners at no charge.
