What sets us apart

Soft pull to check options

See what you qualify for with a soft inquiry that does not affect your personal credit score. A hard pull only happens if you choose to move forward.

Same-day decisions

We move at the speed of business. Most qualified applicants receive an approval decision the same business day.

Funding in 24–48 hours

Once you accept your offer, funds typically arrive within one to two business days.

No obligation to accept

Reviewing your options is pressure-free. You only move forward if the terms make sense for your business.

Clear, upfront terms

We disclose fees and any early-payoff details before you sign — no fine-print surprises.

Build business credit

On-time payments can help establish and strengthen your business credit history over time.

Important disclosures. Toast Lending is a financial technology company and is not a bank. Loans, lines of credit, and other financing are offered and originated by Toast Lending and/or its lending partners, subject to credit approval, verification, and applicable law. Products, amounts, rates, fees, and terms are not guaranteed and vary based on creditworthiness, time in business, revenue, and other underwriting criteria. Financing may not be available in all states or for all industries.

Soft pull only to check eligibility. Checking your eligibility or getting a quote uses a soft credit inquiry, which does not affect your credit score. A hard credit inquiry, which may affect your score, occurs only if you choose to move forward with a full application and accept an offer. Same-day approval describes a common outcome for qualified applicants and is not guaranteed. Funding within 24–48 hours reflects typical timelines after final underwriting, verification, and signed acceptance; actual times may vary.
