Common questions

Straight answers to what Richmond owners ask most, from a local broker.

Restaurant Loan amounts in Richmond typically range from $50,000 for equipment or modest renovations up to $500,000 or more for new locations, full kitchen overhauls, or multi-unit expansions. Loan size depends on revenue and project scope.

Funding speed varies by deal complexity. Working capital and equipment loans can close in one to three weeks. New location build-outs or larger renovations may take four to six weeks, depending on lender due diligence and permit timing.

Credit requirements differ across lenders. Many look for scores above 600, but strong sales, a proven concept, and solid collateral can help offset credit blemishes. We work with a range of lenders to find the right fit.

Collateral often includes restaurant equipment, furniture, fixtures, and inventory. Some lenders accept a blanket lien on business assets or a personal guarantee, particularly for larger loans or newer concepts with limited operating history.

Expect to provide recent business tax returns, profit and loss statements for the past 12 months, a current balance sheet, and bank statements. New location deals require a business plan, lease agreement, and buildout budget or contractor estimates.
