Frequently asked questions
How do breweries, distilleries and craft producers in Illinois get funding?
We fund breweries, distilleries and craft producers across Illinois on monthly revenue, not collateral - typically $10,000 to $2,000,000 with 3+ months in business and about $10,000+ in monthly revenue. Recent business bank statements start it, and decisions come in about 24 hours.
How fast can a Illinois business get funded?
Most Illinois businesses get a decision in about 24 hours and funds within 24 to 72 hours of accepting - no collateral, and bad credit is considered.
How do breweries get funding?
Breweries and distilleries are funded on taproom and distribution revenue rather than collateral — most qualify for $10,000 to $2,000,000 with 3+ months operating and roughly $10,000+ in monthly revenue, with decisions in about 24 hours.
Can I finance brewing tanks or a canning line?
Yes. Equipment capital covers fermenters, brite tanks, canning and bottling lines, kegs, and taproom build-outs, so expansion never has to wait on a bank's equipment-loan timeline.
Can a brewery get working capital for ingredients?
Yes. Working capital buys grain, hops, and packaging months before the beer sells, covers payroll through the production cycle, and bridges distributor receivables — repaid as revenue flows.
How much funding can I get?
Most businesses access $10,000 to $2,000,000, based mainly on monthly revenue and business performance.
How fast can I get funded?
Approvals can come in as little as 24 hours, with funds typically deposited within 24–72 hours of accepting your offer.
Will applying hurt my credit?
No — applying requires no credit check. We focus on your business revenue and don't pull credit until you review and sign terms.
Do I need collateral?
No. Our funding is unsecured and based on the health of your business, not your assets.
