Common cash flow pressures for Food Truck owners
- Your generator failed the day before a weekend festival — your biggest revenue weekend of the month.
- You want to add a second truck for a catering contract that starts in three weeks. The truck, wrap, and equipment is $35K.
- Health inspection requires a new commercial sink and hood system. You have 30 days. The equipment is $6K you don't have liquid.
- Peak season is here and you need to pre-buy inventory — specialty proteins, branded packaging — before vendor prices spike.
- Your commissary contract is up. Moving to your own commissary kitchen saves $800/month but costs $15K upfront.

My revenue is event-based and seasonal — not the same every week. Does that qualify?
Yes. We look at your 3-month deposit history and understand event-driven revenue patterns. Consistency over your peak season is what matters.
I need funds this week for an event coming up. How fast can you move?
Same-day decisions are available for qualified applicants. Most food truck operators receive funds within 24 hours of approval.
Can I use the funds to buy a second truck or upgrade my current one?
Yes. Working capital can be used for any business purpose — equipment, inventory, vehicle upgrades, or event prep.
My credit is around 550. Can I still qualify?
We accept scores from 500. Your revenue history is the primary qualifier.
