Frequently Asked
Questions

How fast can I get funded?
Most merchants receive funding in 24-48 hours. We've funded businesses in as little as 4 hours when urgency demands it. The speed depends on how quickly you provide documentation—but unlike banks, we don't make you wait weeks for an answer.
What if my credit isn't perfect?
We have solutions for every credit profile. Strong credit? We'll connect you with banks and SBA programs for the lowest rates. Less-than-perfect credit? We have alternative lenders who focus on your daily sales and cash flow instead. Either way, we find you funding.
Why Choose Bay Street Lending?
We work for you, not any single lender. With your approval, our team will shop your application to 50+ funding sources—from traditional banks and SBA lenders to alternative funding providers—to find you the best rates and terms. One application, multiple offers, zero obligation.
