For businesses facing urgent cash flow needs, speed is critical. Whether you need funds to cover payroll, restock inventory, or bridge gaps between payments, CFG Merchant Solutions® (CFGMS) provides fast, flexible financing tailored to your company’s specific situation. Unlike traditional banks, CFGMS understands the realities of small and medium-sized businesses and can deliver working capital in as little as 24–48 hours. Here’s a comprehensive look at the fastest funding options available through CFG Merchant Solutions® and how they can help your business thrive. 

 

  1. Revenue-Based Financing (RBF)

Revenue-Based Financing is one of the fastest ways to secure capital for businesses with consistent daily or weekly revenue. With CFGMS, approvals can happen in just a few hours, and funding is often available within 24–48 hours. 

  • Mechanism: CFGMS provides a lump sum of capital in exchange for a fixed percentage of your future revenue, allowing repayments to scale with your business performance. 
  • Best For: Businesses with steady revenue streams that may not qualify for traditional bank loans or that want flexible repayment schedules. 
  • Why CFGMS: Their RBF solutions are structured to align with your cash flow, ensuring that repayments remain manageable while giving you access to the capital you need to grow. 

 

  1. Online Business Lines of Credit

For companies that need ongoing access to funds, CFGMS offers online revolving credit solutions. These lines of credit allow you to draw only what you need, with interest applied solely to the amount used. 

  • Speed: Once an account is established, funds can be available in as little as 24 hours. 
  • Mechanism: A flexible credit line that can be drawn repeatedly, ideal for managing seasonal dips, unexpected expenses, or growth opportunities. 
  • Key Providers: CFGMS partners with ISO Partners to provide financing solutions that focus on fast approval and tailored financing. 

 

  1. Invoice Factoring / Financing

  • Speed: Typically 24–48 hours for businesses with existing customer invoices; initial setup may take 1–2 weeks. 
  • Why CFGMS: Their hands-on approach ensures that the process is smooth, transparent, and aligned with the operational realities of your business. 

 

  1. Fast Personal and Emergency Funding Options

In addition to business funding, CFG Merchant Solutions provides guidance on same-day personal funding for small emergencies to support business owners. 

  • Same-Day Personal Loans: Lenders like LightStream and SoFi fund approved loans the same business day. CFGMS helps businesses identify qualifying lenders that minimize delays. 
  • Cash Advance Apps: Platforms such as EarnIn, Dave, and Brigit allow near-instant access to small amounts, typically $50–$500. 
  • Credit Card Cash Advances: Instant access via ATM or branch, though typically with higher interest rates than standard purchases.
