Can't cover payroll

Many small businesses struggle to make payroll when cash flow is tight.

Equipment broke

Broken equipment can halt business—and emergency funds aren’t always there.

Emergency repair needed

It’s not uncommon for small businesses to need a fast repair—and no budget for it.

Need better equipment

Many business owners delay upgrading equipment that could increase revenue.

Inventory ran out

Without financing, restocking inventory can be a major challenge.

Can't pay rent

Some business owners fall behind on lease or rent when revenue dips or expenses are high.

That’s why we make borrowing easy

Borrower is a borrower-first platform—built to help you get the funding you need, when you need it. Funding that works for you, not against you.
