How Maine restaurant supply company businesses use this financing

Typical loan size: Most restaurant loans funded through our partner network fall between $25K and $500K, with full build-outs and acquisition deals running $750K to $2M.
Seasonality: Most independent restaurants see softer cash flow in January and February and lean on credit lines through the summer patio rebuild and the Nov-Dec holiday push.
Most common reason for decline: Lenders most often decline restaurants under 12 months in business, with fewer than 6 months of bank statements, or with NSF activity in the last 90 days.

Capital use cases for restaurant supply company businesses in Maine
- Second-location expansion: Owners typically borrow $250K–$750K via an SBA loan to build out a second dining room, repaying over 10 years as new covers ramp up and the original location backs the debt.
- Kitchen equipment refresh: A $40K–$120K equipment loan covers commercial ovens, walk-in refrigeration, hoods, and a new POS — financed over 3–5 years so the gear pays for itself through higher table turns.
- Off-season working capital: A $25K–$100K line of credit bridges slow January and February cash flow, covering rent and payroll until spring and patio season revenue returns.
