FAQ

Common questions

Straight answers to what Providence owners ask most, from a local broker.

Start by telling us your average monthly sales, time in business, and what you need the funds for. We'll match you with restaurant-focused lenders and share options within days, beginning with a soft credit check that won't impact your score.

Restaurant loan amounts in Providence typically range from $25,000 to $1 million depending on revenue and use. Equipment financing and small renovations fall on the lower end, while full buildouts, second locations, and acquisitions reach higher amounts.

Funding speed depends on loan type and complexity. Working capital and equipment loans can fund in one to three weeks, while full restaurant buildouts or acquisitions requiring permits and inspections take longer, often four to eight weeks.

Credit matters, but it's not the only consideration. Lenders heavily weigh daily sales trends, customer reviews, lease terms, and food cost management, so owners with credit scores in the high 500s to low 600s often qualify with strong operational metrics.

Collateral varies by loan size and lender. Equipment loans are secured by the equipment itself, while larger loans or working capital lines may require a blanket lien on kitchen assets, a personal guarantee, or even a landlord subordination agreement.

You'll need to provide business and personal tax returns, recent profit and loss statements, several months of bank statements showing deposits, and a current lease agreement. Some lenders also request point-of-sale reports to verify daily sales volume.
