What is a Working Capital Loan?
A working capital loan is a financial product designed to help restaurant and small business owners fund their everyday business operations.

Our approval process is streamlined with minimal documentation, and funding can occur in a matter of days! Our loan terms are fixed so your payments won’t fluctuate and the interest you pay is tax deductible, further lowering your cost of funds. If you’re looking to infuse your business with cash quickly, ARF’s working capital loans are just the thing you need!
Benefits of a Working Capital Loan
When choosing a business lender, it’s important to compare loan size and repayment terms because…
Larger Loan Amounts, Longer Terms & Big Rewards
Big projects usually mean big upfront investments, something you can’t get from a merchant cash advance. If you’re ready to take the plunge and go BIG this year, we have financing that’s the perfect fit. You can now borrow up to $1,000,000 with terms up to 36 months to fund your big projects while keeping your costs low. Our average loan size is over six times larger and repayment terms are more than three times longer than a Merchant Cash Advance. Larger loan amounts mean you can invest in growth opportunities that will make a significant impact to your bottom line, and longer terms mean your payments are manageable and won’t interfere with your cash flow!
