What it is
A bridge loan is short-term financing designed to carry your business across a specific, time-bound gap. It is meant to be repaid quickly, typically when a larger or longer-term facility closes, a big payment arrives, or a transaction completes. Because it is fast and short, it is a tool for timing, not a long-term solution.
We match your situation to a funder in our network who can move on the timeline you need, and we will tell you plainly when a different product is the better fit.
Best for
- Bridging to a larger loan, line, or refinance that is already in motion.
- Covering the upfront cost of a contract you have already won.
- Closing a time-sensitive opportunity before longer-term funding lands.
- Owners with a clear, near-term source of repayment in view.
What to know
Bridge financing trades a higher cost for speed and short duration. It works best when you have a defined exit, the event that pays it off, before you take it. A specialist will confirm the bridge makes sense for your timeline before you commit.
