Fast, Easy Retailer Funding You Can Trust

We provide a number of different types of small business funding to help grow your retail business, with alternative retailer loans from as low as $3,000 up to $500,000.

Retailer Funding Q&A
How do I get funding for a retail store?
You can get funding for a retail store from traditional lenders like federal funding programs or a bank, as well as from alternative lenders like Greenbox Capital. Alternative lenders have more flexible approval requirements that consider the overall health and potential of your business—not just your credit score—and offer revenue-based financing options that are more ideal for businesses with lower credit scores, such as merchant cash advances. Contact one of our Funding Advisors to learn more.
What do I need to do to qualify for a small business loan?
We have a very simple application process, with same day funding available. To get started, fill out our one-page application form or speak with a Funding Advisor.
Why should I consider an alternative lender for my retail store funding?
Most traditional banks consider retail stores to be high-risk and will not fund them. As an alternative lender, we have different approval requirements, and can approve funding for “high risk” industries. We can provide you with the funds you need to cover project expenses, labour, materials and more, often in less than 24 hours.
