by lunch.
CapFront is a marketplace, not a single lender. One 60-second application puts your business in front of dozens of vetted funders — you compare side-by-side and pick what works. No sales pressure, no credit hit to look.
Soft credit pull only — no hard inquiry, no impact to your score. By submitting you agree to be contacted by a CapFront relationship manager.
The kind of numbers a banker won’t quote you.
Eight years. Over a thousand five-star reviews. The boring metrics that matter when you’re picking who to borrow from.
Three steps. One human. No portal hell.
Most online lenders make you log into something. We don’t. You apply once, and then a real person — your relationship manager — runs your file from here through funding and after.
Apply
Tell us how much, what for, and a few facts about your business. Soft credit pull, no hard inquiry. We hand you to one human — your relationship manager — who owns the file.
Compare
Your file goes to dozens of vetted lenders simultaneously. Within hours you see the actual term sheets — rate, term, repayment, fees — laid out side-by-side. We’ll tell you which one we’d pick and why.
Fund
Pick the offer. Sign electronically. For most products the capital is wired the same day; SBA and equipment financing settle in 2–14 days. Use it however you need.

What the other paths actually look like.
We’re not for everyone. If your bank knows you and is moving fast, take that. If not, here’s what each path costs in days and dignity.
| CapFront marketplace | Your local bank | One online lender | Calling around yourself | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Time to a real offer | 5–10 days | 24–48 hrs | Weeks | |
| # of lenders you see | 1 | 1 | However many you call | |
| Application length | 40+ pages | 5–10 min | Whatever the tab is | |
| Soft credit pull only | No | Sometimes | Each one is a hard pull | |
| Side-by-side term sheets | No | No | Spreadsheet, by you | |
| A human who owns your file | Whoever picks up | Chatbot first | You | |
| Fee to apply | $0 | $0 | $0 (in cash; lots in time) |
Six ways to get capital. We help you pick.
“Best rate” and “right product” aren’t the same thing. We sit on your side of the table, not the lender’s, and we’ll tell you when a cheaper option costs more in the long run.
Why we built it this way.
Most business owners I talk to have the same story. They walked into a bank, filled out forty pages, waited three weeks, got declined or lowballed, and were too tired to start over. The other half tried a flashy online lender, got one offer, and signed it because — what else were they going to do.
CapFront is the version I wished existed when my dad ran his small business. Apply once. We shop it to dozens of funders. You see the actual offers, side-by-side, and one human walks you through which is right for your situation. Even if “right” means waiting a month for SBA instead of taking the merchant advance today.
We don’t get paid more if you take the more expensive product. That single fact changes everything about the conversation.
