Marguerite had been making candles in her garage for three years. She'd been watching that corner unit on Broughton Street for longer.
Her Etsy revenue was solid — $11K/month — but every conventional lender treated her like a liability because she didn't have two years of business tax returns in a brick-and-mortar context. We structured a portfolio loan against her e-commerce revenue and a small SBA 7(a) component to meet the seller's timeline. Forty-one days from first call to signed lease.
"I'd been told no by four banks. StorefrontCapital called me back in three hours and had a term sheet in a week."See What You Qualify For
Portfolio loan + SBA 7(a) hybrid. Revenue-based underwriting against 24 months of e-commerce deposits.
Conventional commercial mortgage with seller-paid buydown. Inventory as partial collateral. 10-year term, 25-year amortization.
Marcus ran a six-figure resale operation from a climate-controlled storage unit. He'd been waiting for a flagship space to open in the right zip code.
The challenge: his income was heavily inventory-driven with seasonal volatility. We leveraged 18 months of platform sales data from StockX and GOAT to build a lender case that a W-2 couldn't have made. The seller accepted our offer over a higher cash bid because of timeline certainty.
"They understood resale as a business, not a hobby. That made all the difference with the underwriter."See What You Qualify For
The Nguyen family had operated Bánh Mì Sunrise for nine years. The suite next door had been empty for eleven months. The math was obvious. The financing wasn't.
Refinancing an existing commercial lease while simultaneously acquiring adjacent space required a lender who understood both the expansion logic and the family ownership structure. We negotiated a cash-out refinance on their current unit and rolled the proceeds into the acquisition — one closing, two spaces, zero disruption to daily operations during escrow.
"We've been cooking in a space that was too small for six years. StorefrontCapital made the expansion feel like a business decision, not a gamble."See What You Qualify For
Cash-out refinance on existing unit + acquisition loan for adjacent suite. Single closing. DSCR underwriting against 5-year operating history.
