πΌ What Is Direct Business Lending?
Direct business lending refers to funding provided directly to businesses without going through traditional banks or financial intermediaries. This model enables faster approvals, fewer credit constraints, and customized terms based on your businessβs revenue β not just your credit score.
In todayβs economy, small business owners need capital fast β to cover payroll, buy equipment, or seize growth opportunities. Thatβs where direct lending shines. At Lumen Point Capital, we help businesses like yours tap into revenue-based financing options that traditional banks often overlook.
π How Direct Lending Works for Small Businesses
Direct lenders evaluate your cash flow and monthly revenue β not just your credit score. If your business earns $10K+/month, you may qualify for same-day funding with no collateral required.
- β Expanding inventory
- β Seasonal staffing
- β Emergency repairs
- β Paying off high-interest debt
Compared to SBA or bank loans that take weeks or months, direct business lending often delivers capital in 24β48 hours.
π¦ Traditional Bank Loans vs. Direct Business Lending
Banks rely heavily on your personal credit, collateral, and paperwork. Direct lenders move faster β focusing on real-time revenue and simple digital applications.
