FAQs
How does bridge capital differ from a traditional business loan?

Bridge capital provides short-term funding (typically 6-24 months) to cover immediate cash flow needs until long-term financing is secured. Unlike traditional loans, bridge financing carries higher interest rates but offers faster access to capital.

What are common use cases for bridge capital?

Businesses use bridge loans for acquisitions, real estate purchases, operational cash flow gaps, or urgent inventory purchases. It is particularly useful when waiting for SBA or long-term loan approval.

Are personal guarantees required for bridge loans?

Many bridge lenders require personal guarantees or business collateral due to the short-term, high-risk nature of the loan. However, strong cash flow and assets may reduce personal liability.

What repayment structures are available for bridge capital?

Bridge loans can have interest-only payments with a balloon payment at maturity or structured monthly amortization schedules, depending on the lender’s terms and business cash flow.

How fast can I secure bridge capital?

Funding can be secured within a few weeks, making bridge financing a quicker alternative to traditional loans. However, expedited funding may come with higher costs.
