It sits alongside the equipment and SBA options in our restaurant financing for North Carolina operators [/ →](/) , so you can mix the right products for your situation. ## What You Can Use It For Working capital isn’t restricted by use. You can put it toward whatever moves the business forward. - **Payroll** — covering a tight week or a seasonal hiring ramp - **Inventory** — stocking up before a busy weekend or for a private event - **Emergency repairs** — when the walk-in, the fryer, or the HVAC fails - **Renovation and marketing** — patio refresh, new menu print, a digital campaign - **Seasonal bridging** — coastal NC restaurants surviving the off-season - **Vendor deposits or franchise fees** — anything where a few days of cash matters ## Bank-Statement Underwriting We don’t ask for tax returns. We don’t take collateral. Three months of business bank statements is the entire underwriting package. We look at your average daily balance, deposit frequency, and revenue pattern — and we size the offer against that. That’s it. No multi-week document chase, no waiting on a CPA, no surprise requests on day 14. ![Restaurant owner receives a working capital funding notification on their phone in the kitchen](https://placehold.co/1400x900/131b2e/ffffff?text=Restaurant+owner+receives+working+capital+funding+notification+phone+kitchen+background) ## Qualification Requirements Most NC restaurants qualify with: - **1 year in business** (some lender paths exist for less) - **$150,000 minimum annual revenue** - **600 minimum credit score** (lower-credit paths exist with stricter terms) - **Active business bank account** with at least 3 months of statements If you don’t tick every box, call us. There’s almost always a structured path. ## Working Capital vs. an SBA Loan Working capital is for speed. If you need money this week, that’s the right product. If you’re acquiring a restaurant, funding a $400K build-out, or buying real estate, an SBA 7(a) or 504 loan [/sba-restaurant-loans/ →](/sba-restaurant-loans/) is the lower-rate, longer-term answer — even if it takes 30 to 60 days to close. We’ll tell you which fits before you commit. ## Pre-Qualify in 60 Seconds. No Out-of-Pocket Fees on Working Capital.
