Working capital
Working capital loans fund the routine costs that keep your business moving. Unlike equipment financing or commercial real estate loans, this capital isn't earmarked for a single purchase. You use it to pay employees during a slow quarter, restock shelves before a busy season, cover rent when a big client pays late, or handle unexpected repairs that can't wait. It's operating fuel, not expansion capital.
Small business owners in Orem, Springville, and Lindon often apply for working capital when seasonal swings hit hard, think ski-season retail along University Avenue or summer construction contractors in Spanish Fork who must buy materials before the first draw. The loan replaces the cash you've already spent running the business, so you can keep operations smooth while waiting for revenue to catch up.
Working capital
Lenders typically want to see at least six months in business, though some programs accept newer companies with strong bank statements. Your credit profile matters, but so does cash flow: can your business generate enough revenue to service the loan? Most working capital lenders review recent bank deposits, outstanding invoices, and monthly expenses rather than demanding perfect credit scores.
Because Foothill Lenders is a commercial loan broker, we match your situation to the right capital source. One client might fit an SBA 7(a) working capital tranche; another might need invoice factoring if receivables are the bottleneck. We don't fund the loan ourselves, we connect you to lenders and programs that align with your business model and repayment capacity.
A Vineyard tech startup might use working capital to cover payroll while waiting for a big contract to close. A Pleasant Grove bakery might bridge the gap between summer farmers' markets and fall catering deposits. A Mapleton HVAC company might need cash to buy parts in bulk before the heating season hits, locking in lower prices and avoiding supply-chain delays.
Shopify merchants and e-commerce businesses sometimes explore Shopify Capital or similar platforms, but those advances can carry high effective costs. Traditional working capital loans often offer more predictable terms when you qualify, especially if you want a longer repayment window or need a larger amount than a merchant cash advance will cover.
How it works
Call us at (801) 880-5047 or stop by our office at 412 W Rivers Edge Dr, Provo, UT 84604. Bring recent bank statements, a summary of monthly expenses, and any outstanding invoices or contracts. We'll ask about your business history, current obligations, and why you need the capital now.
We submit your profile to multiple capital sources, banks, credit unions, and alternative lenders, and present the options side by side. You choose the offer that fits your cash-flow cycle. The process usually takes a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on the lender and the amount. We handle paperwork, follow up with underwriters, and keep you informed at every step.
Once funded, the capital hits your business account. You spend it as planned, then repay on the agreed schedule, often daily or weekly ACH debits tied to your revenue, or monthly installments like a traditional term loan.
You could call lenders directly, but each one offers a narrow slice of programs. A broker sees the whole market. We know which lenders move fast, which accept startups, and which specialize in seasonal businesses common along the Wasatch Front. That saves you weeks of trial and error.
Relationship matters more than a single transaction. When you need a business lines of credit next year or want to refinance into an SBA 7(a) later, you already have a broker who knows your story. We're local, serving Provo, Orem, Springville, Vineyard, Lindon, Mapleton, Spanish Fork, and Pleasant Grove, so we understand the rhythms of Utah County commerce.
