Get the funds you need today, while waiting for your long-term financing to come through.

What Is a Bridge Loan?

A Bridge Loan is a short-term financing option designed to help businesses bridge the gap between immediate funding needs and longer-term financing options. Businesses can access the funds quickly, allowing them to cover operational costs, inventory purchases, or other urgent needs while waiting for other forms of financing, such as a traditional loan or equity investment.
Bridge loans are ideal for those in need of fast access to capital without the complexity or long waiting period
Qualifying Factors: To qualify for a bridge loan, your business should meet certain criteria, such as:
- A viable long-term financing solution in progress (e.g., pending approval of a traditional loan or awaiting funds from an investor).
- A solid business history and ability to repay the short-term loan.
- Demonstrated need for immediate funding to maintain business operations until the long-term funding is finalized.

Estimated Completion Date
The repayment term is typically short-term, lasting between 3 to 24 months, and is tied to your business’s ability to repay based on the long-term financing you are expecting.
Cost and Fees
Bridge loans usually come with a fixed fee or interest rate that is deducted from the total loan amount. These costs are determined based on the loan terms and your business’s specific situation.

- Need to cover temporary cash flow gaps.

Bridge Loan FAQs

How does a Bridge Loan work?
A bridge loan provides immediate access to funds, allowing businesses to cover expenses while waiting for long-term financing to come through. The loan is typically paid back once the long-term financing is received.
Who can apply for a Bridge Loan?
Any business that needs immediate funding while awaiting long-term financing can apply for a bridge loan. The business must have a clear plan to secure long-term financing soon.
Can I get a merchant cash advance with low credit?
While many small business funding companies use personal or business credit as a factor when looking at your financing application, it’s not the only determining factor as to whether an application is approved or not. Most alternative small business funders take into consideration the overall performance of your business by looking at business revenue, time in business, accounts receivable, and business credit history.
Can I get a Bridge Loan with bad credit?
Bridge loans are more focused on your business’s immediate need for capital and the likelihood of securing long-term financing. While credit matters, it’s not the sole determining factor.
