Revenue-Based Financing & Working Capital, $50K–$500K
Compare capital before you commit.
Revenue-based underwriting — businesses qualify on monthly revenue, not credit score. Soft pull only. Funded in hours.†
Revenue-based financing (RBF) is capital your business receives up front in exchange for a fixed share of its future revenue — structured as a purchase of future receivables, not a loan — with remittances delivered daily or weekly as revenue comes in.
Best fit: $50K+ in monthly revenue · 12+ months in business · business checking account. We qualify from $20K+ in monthly revenue and 6+ months in business; files below that route to our partner network. †Funding speed depends on product and bank-cutoff times.
Before you apply
Three things worth reading first — how we work, how we get paid, and what decides your terms.
Quick answer: which business funding path fits?
Use revenue-based financing when speed and revenue strength matter more than credit score; use a term loan or SBA loan when lower long-term cost matters more than speed; and use equipment or invoice financing when a specific asset can support the transaction. JLFG compares the structure, total payback, payment frequency, and timing before routing a file.

Underwriting snapshot: what a $50K+/month business typically sees
The ranges below are what JLFG observes across its funder panel. They are not offers, and an individual file may fall outside them.
- Advance size
- Typically 80%–120% of average monthly deposits. A business depositing $50K/month generally warrants consideration in the $40K–$60K range; $150K/month, roughly $120K–$180K. Needs above $500K usually place better as a term loan or line of credit than as an advance.
- Term and remittance
- 3–18 months, remitted daily or weekly as a fixed amount or a percentage of receipts. Longer terms and weekly remittance are generally available to stronger files, and are priced accordingly.
- What underwriting actually reads
- Four months of business bank statements. The variables that move a decision most are average daily balance, number of negative days, month-over-month deposit consistency, and any existing advance positions. Credit is a soft pull and is rarely the deciding factor.
- What narrows or stops a file
- Three or more open positions, frequent NSFs, deposits that swing sharply without a seasonal explanation, or a recent change of ownership or bank. None of these are automatic declines, but each shortens the funder list and generally raises cost.
- When something other than an advance fits better
- If the need is twelve months out rather than this week, a term loan or line of credit almost always costs less. If the capital is buying a specific asset, equipment financing is usually cheaper than unsecured working capital. If the gap is unpaid invoices rather than revenue, factoring addresses the actual problem. JLFG places all four and is compensated by the funder in every case, never by the business.
Revenue-based financing — brokered directly by JLFG
Sourced from 13+ funder partners. Each deal routes to the funder most likely to underwrite it well — not just any funder that says yes.
Revenue-based financing, working capital advances & MCAs
Short-term, revenue-based capital. Underwritten on monthly revenue and future receivables — not credit score, so accessible to businesses traditional banks decline. Fast funding (24-72 hrs), daily/weekly payback. Best fit for time-sensitive opportunities, growth investments, and capital that needs to deploy fast.
Typical: $25K–$500K · 3–18 months · funded in 24–72 hrs · revenue-based
Arranged through our partner lender network
Term, bridge, SBA 7(a), equipment, factoring, and real-estate-secured loans — originated by licensed partner lenders, never by JLFG, with placements up to $100M for qualified files.
Term loans
Fixed-amount, fixed-payment loans for clearly defined uses (equipment, expansion, refinance). Lower cost than a working capital advance but slower to underwrite — you'll provide tax returns, P&L, balance sheet.
Typical: $50K–$2M · 12–60 months · funded in 1–4 weeks
Lines of credit
Revolving facility you draw against as needed. Pay interest only on the drawn balance. Best for businesses with bursty capital needs — payroll smoothing, AR float, opportunistic inventory.
Typical: $25K–$500K · revolving · funded in 1–3 weeks
Equipment financing
Loan or lease against the specific equipment being purchased. The equipment serves as collateral, so terms are usually better than unsecured working capital. Most equipment vendors have preferred lenders, but shopping it out almost always saves money.
Typical: $10K–$5M · 24–84 months · funded in 1–2 weeks
Invoice factoring (AR financing)
Sell your unpaid invoices for immediate cash (typically 80–90% advance). Best for B2B businesses with creditworthy customers but slow-pay terms (NET-60+). The factor collects from your customer; you get the residual.
Typical: 80–90% advance · 1–4% factor fee · funded in 24–48 hrs
SBA loans (referral)
I'm not an SBA-approved lender, but I have working relationships with several preferred lenders and refer when an SBA 7(a) or 504 is the right product. SBA is slow (60–120 days) but the cheapest cost of capital available to most SMBs.
Typical: $50K–$5M · 7-25 years · funded in 60–120 days
Bridge loans
Short-term capital that covers the gap between a deadline today and money you know is coming — acquisition closings, contract mobilization, refinance windows. Arranged through partner lenders.
Partner-placed · loan product · timeline varies by lender
Construction loans
Draw-based funding for ground-up builds and major renovations, released as work completes. Referred to licensed construction lenders in our partner network.
Real-estate-secured · placed only with licensed partner lenders
Commercial HELOCs
Turn real-estate equity into business capital with a revolving credit line. Referred to licensed lenders in our partner network.
Real-estate-secured · placed only with licensed partner lenders
DSCR loans
Investment-property loans qualified on the property's rental income, not your personal tax returns. Referred to licensed lenders in our partner network.
Real-estate-secured · placed only with licensed partner lenders
Sale-leaseback
Sell equipment you already own to a financing partner and lease it back — the cash comes out, the equipment keeps working.
Partner-placed · equipment stays in service
Annuity & structured settlement buyout
Receiving annuity payments, a structured settlement, or court-ordered installments and need a lump sum instead? I work with secondary-market buyers who purchase future income streams for present cash. Court-approval required for settlement transfers (Structured Settlement Protection Act). Best when you have a specific use of funds that beats the discount rate.
Typical: 50–80% of remaining value · court-approval 60–90 days · cash at closing
What I'm not: a lender. Jon Lynch Financial Group is a brokerage — I source financing from third-party lenders. I am not a money transmitter, not a bank, not a registered investment advisor. I do not directly originate, fund, or service loans. Compensation is paid by the lender, never by you the borrower.

How a quote conversation usually goes
Most owners are surprised at how short the first conversation is. We need 5 facts to give you a meaningful quote range:
- What's the business (industry, years in operation)?
- Average monthly revenue (last 6 months)?
- How much capital are you looking for?
- What are you using it for?
- How fast do you actually need it?
From those 5 facts, I can give you a realistic quote range and tell you which 2-3 lender categories make the most sense. If we proceed, I'll need 3-6 months of bank statements + a basic merchant application — about 15 minutes of your time.

Frequently asked questions
What is Revenue-Based Financing by JLFG?
Revenue-Based Financing by JLFG is the small-business financing brokerage service of Jon Lynch Financial Group, LLC (a veteran-owned holding company in Miami, FL). Our flagship is revenue-based financing — including merchant cash advances and working capital advances — brokered directly. Through our partner lender network we also arrange business lines of credit, equipment financing, invoice factoring, term loans, bridge loans, SBA 7(a) loans, construction loans, commercial HELOCs, DSCR loans, and equipment sale-leasebacks for businesses across the United States.
What is revenue-based financing?
Revenue-based financing is capital a business receives up front in exchange for a fixed share of its future revenue — structured as a purchase of future receivables, not a loan — with remittances delivered daily or weekly as revenue comes in. Qualification is based primarily on monthly revenue rather than credit score.
Is revenue-based financing a loan?
No. Revenue-based financing — including merchant cash advances — is a purchase of future receivables, not a loan. There is no interest rate; pricing is expressed as a factor rate applied to the funded amount, and remittances are delivered as a share of revenue rather than repaid on a fixed loan schedule.
What is the difference between revenue-based financing and a merchant cash advance?
A merchant cash advance (MCA) is the most common form of revenue-based financing: both are purchases of future receivables priced with a factor rate. MCAs traditionally key remittances to card sales or daily bank deposits, while revenue-based financing describes the broader category of revenue-share funding. JLFG brokers both directly.
Can I qualify for revenue-based financing with bad credit?
Yes. Revenue-based financing is underwritten on monthly revenue and future receivables — not credit score. If your business has reliable monthly revenue, you can typically access capital even with imperfect personal or business credit. Quotes use a soft credit pull only.
How much revenue-based financing can my business get?
Advances are typically sized at 80%–120% of your average monthly deposits, with a typical range of $10K–$500K through JLFG. A business doing $50K/month in deposits can usually access $40K–$60K. Larger or specialized needs are placed through our partner lender network.
How fast can I get revenue-based financing?
Revenue-based financing and MCAs typically fund in 24–72 hours after document submission. The quick quote at apply.jonlynchfinancial.com/fundnow takes about a minute; the full application with 3 months of bank statements takes about 15 minutes.
What kinds of business funding can JLFG arrange?
Our flagship is revenue-based financing — including merchant cash advances and working capital advances — which JLFG brokers directly. Through our partner lender network we can also arrange business lines of credit, equipment financing, invoice factoring, term loans, bridge loans, SBA 7(a) loans, construction loans, commercial HELOCs, DSCR loans, and equipment sale-leasebacks. Revenue-based products are purchases of future receivables, not loans; loan products are originated by partner lenders. Most merchants start with the quick quote at apply.jonlynchfinancial.com/fundnow or the full application at apply.jonlynchfinancial.com.
My business makes less than $25,000 a month — can I still get funding?
Yes. Businesses earning under $25,000 in monthly revenue can access micro-funding of up to $15,000 through our referral partner network. Per the partner's program terms, decisions are instant and funding is immediate on approval because qualification runs on secure Plaid bank verification instead of manual statement review. Approval, amounts, and timing are determined by the funding partner. Use the micro-funding callout on this page to start.
When should I look for working capital?
Before you actually need it, while monthly revenue is strong. Strong revenue qualifies you for the largest first-position facility at the best pricing. Lenders price urgency into deals, so applying from a position of strength results in larger advances, lower factor rates, and better terms.
How fast can I get funded?
Working capital advances and MCAs typically fund in 24-72 hours after document submission. Term loans and lines of credit take 1-4 weeks. SBA loans take 60-120 days. Speed is one of the structural advantages of factor-rate working capital products.
How does JLFG get paid?
JLFG is paid commission by the lender, not by the borrower. There are no fees you pay to us for sourcing financing. The cost of capital you see in the quote is what you pay to the lender.
Is JLFG a lender?
No. JLFG operates as a brokerage, not a direct lender. Our flagship product — revenue-based financing, including merchant cash advances — is a purchase of future receivables rather than a loan, and we broker it directly. True loan products (term loans, SBA 7(a) loans, bridge loans, construction loans, commercial HELOCs, and DSCR loans) are arranged through our network of third-party partner lenders and referral partners; in every case the partner lender, not JLFG, originates the loan. Real-estate-secured products are placed only with licensed lenders in that network.
What documents do I need to apply?
For revenue-based financing and MCA quotes: the most recent 3 months of business bank statements and a one-page application with EIN, monthly revenue, and time in business. No tax returns, no balance sheets, no projections. For term loans and SBA, expect to add 2 years of business tax returns and a personal credit pull. Equipment financing needs a quote from the vendor.
What is a factor rate?
A factor rate is the price of a working capital advance, expressed as a multiplier of the funded amount instead of an interest rate. A $100,000 advance at a 1.25 factor rate means you deliver $125,000 total. Factor rates typically range from 1.15 to 1.49 depending on monthly revenue strength, time in business, industry risk, and term length. We always show the equivalent APR alongside the factor rate so you can compare apples-to-apples with term loans.
How much can I borrow?
Working capital advances are typically sized at 80%–120% of your average monthly deposits. A business doing $50K/month in deposits can usually access $40K–$60K; a business doing $500K/month can access $400K–$600K. Term loans and SBA can go larger relative to monthly revenue but underwrite on broader factors including time in business, industry, and credit.
What states does Revenue-Based Financing by JLFG serve?
All 50 U.S. states + DC + PR. Some products (notably MCAs in California, New York, Virginia, Utah, Connecticut, and Georgia) require state-specific disclosures; we deliver those automatically as part of the application flow.
