Local Business Lending
San Francisco is simultaneously the most expensive city in the United States in which to operate a small business and one of the most entrepreneurially dynamic. The paradox defines the capital needs of San Francisco small businesses: operating costs are extreme, revenue potential is high, but access to appropriately structured capital — fast, flexible, and tied to actual business performance rather than collateral — has always been more difficult than the city's reputation for capital abundance would suggest. Venture capital is available for technology startups; working capital for the restaurant next door is a different conversation entirely.
San Francisco's food and beverage scene is world-renowned and operates under extraordinary financial pressure. A Mission District restaurant might pay $18,000/month in rent for 1,500 square feet and $22/hour in starting wages, while competing with dozens of equally talented operators in one of the most food-savvy consumer markets in the country. The combination of extreme costs and intense competition means that restaurant operators in San Francisco need capital access that is faster and more flexible than any bank can provide. FundCapa has funded dozens of San Francisco restaurants through equipment replacements, seasonal staffing ramp-ups, and expansion capital.
The technology economy in San Francisco — SoMa, the Financial District, Mission Bay — creates a distinctive working capital market among the small businesses serving tech companies. Catering companies serving tech office campuses, facility management firms, specialized staffing agencies, and professional services businesses whose only clients are large tech companies face a specific challenge: net-60 payment terms from companies with $100 billion market capitalizations and no ability to pay faster regardless of their client's financial strength. Invoice factoring against these receivables is the rational solution.
Chinatown, the Richmond and Sunset Districts, and the Mission's Latino business community have active small business economies that are significantly underserved by traditional lenders. FundCapa has funded San Francisco businesses across every neighborhood and sector with approval under 1 hour.
We also serve businesses in Oakland, Berkeley, Daly City, South San Francisco, San Mateo, Redwood City, and throughout the Bay Area.
