Can I get working capital without tax returns?
Yes. Avanti Equipment Finance arranges working capital of $10K to $250K underwritten on three months of business bank statements instead of tax returns. No financial statements, no business plan, no down payment. Any business with a year of history and steady deposits can apply, every credit profile is considered, terms come back the same day the statements arrive, and funds can land in as little as 24 hours after signing.
Why finance with Avanti
Tax returns tell a lender what your business did last year, after every deduction your accountant could find. Bank statements show what is moving through the account right now, and that is what this program is underwritten on. Send the last three months, every page, downloaded from your online banking as PDFs, and the review starts the moment they arrive. Nothing to assemble, nothing to explain, nothing to wait on from your CPA. It is also why a business that shows a small profit on paper but steady deposits in the bank still has a clear path: the amount is sized from those deposits, the terms come back the same business day, and the money is wired once you sign.

Frequently asked questions
Do I really not need tax returns?
No. Three months of business bank statements plus the three-minute application is the complete package. We do not ask for tax returns, profit-and-loss statements, balance sheets, or a business plan.
What do the bank statements need to show?
The last three months, all pages, as PDF downloads from your online banking, not photos or partial pages. They need to be for the business account your revenue lands in, and they need to show the deposits, not just balances.
Why bank statements instead of tax returns?
Because the amount is sized from what moves through your account now, not what you reported last year. Deposits are current; a tax return can be eighteen months old and reflects every deduction you took.
My business shows a loss on paper. Does that matter?
Not the way it would at a bank. This program looks at deposits and average balances, not taxable profit. Steady deposits with a low taxable income is one of the most common profiles we help secure funding for.
Is there a minimum revenue?
There is no hard cutoff. The amount is sized from your monthly deposits, so smaller deposits mean a smaller amount. If the numbers don't support the request, we'll tell you straight rather than string you along.
How fast can I get funded?
Terms usually come back the same business day your bank statements arrive; funds land in as little as 24 hours after you sign. Attach the statements to the application and the review starts the moment you submit.
