The direct advantage

No middle layer between you and the money.

Most online business funders are marketplaces that resell your application. 18 Funding is the capital source, which changes what you pay and how fast you hear back.

  • Your information is never shopped to other funders.
  • No broker commission built into your cost.
  • A named underwriter from application to funding.

View all questions

What does it mean that 18 Funding is a direct funder?

We underwrite and fund with our own capital. Your application is not shopped to a network of other funders, and the people you speak with are the people who make the decision.

Do you run a credit check?

Yes. A credit check is part of our review, alongside your bank activity, cash flow, and time in business. Business performance carries the most weight in our decisions.

How quickly can I receive funds?

Many revenue-based financing deals are approved within 24 hours of a complete file and funded the same day. Purchase order, asset-based, and equipment financing typically take three to ten business days.

What documents do I need to apply?

A completed application and your last four months of business bank statements. Depending on the product and amount, we may also request a driver's license, a voided check, an equipment quote, or recent tax returns.

What can I use the funds for?

Any legitimate business purpose, including inventory, payroll, equipment, marketing, renovations, hiring, or refinancing.

Capital from the people who make the decision.

Apply in minutes. Speak with an underwriter, not a salesperson.
