Capital to grow your studio.
You invest in gear, staff, and studio space ahead of the bookings that pay for them, and commercial clients often settle invoices weeks after the shoot. For photo studios nationwide.
We know how studios really run.
Financing built around your industry's real cash-flow rhythm — not a one-size-fits-all bank box.

From our insights
What it takes to qualify
Most operators here start with business capital — but if you're financing property or equipment, that path qualifies differently.
Business Capital
- Operating at least a few months under current ownership
- Roughly $17,000+ per month in business revenue
- Personal credit around 575+ on most programs
- Not over-extended on existing cash advances
- Bank statements usually enough to start — no tax returns to check options
Real Estate & Assets
- Credit generally 620+ (equipment) to 640+ (rental property)
- Equity or down payment — typically up to ~75% loan-to-value
- The property's income covers the payment (DSCR programs)
- No tax returns required on most DSCR programs
- Entity docs, insurance, and a purchase contract or payoff statement
Guidelines are typical ranges across our lender network, not a commitment to lend — every deal is reviewed individually.
