Equipment and repairs

Purchase or repair equipment that helps the business produce revenue, serve customers, or complete jobs.

Marketing and expansion

Fund advertising, hiring, renovations, buildouts, seasonal campaigns, or new location startup expenses.

Project timing gaps

Bridge the gap between upfront costs and delayed customer payments, draws, insurance proceeds, or receivables.
