To fund a cleaning company this week, you need 3 months of business bank statements and minutes to fill out an application — Byzfunder is a direct funder, so there's no waiting on a bank committee. Cost is a factor rate on the advance, not an interest rate, and qualifying businesses can see funds in as little as 24 hours.
- Byzfunder funds cleaning companies directly from its own balance sheet — one decision | You apply directly with Byzfunder — 3 months of bank statements, minutes to submit | MCA is a purchase of future receivables priced with a factor rate, not a loan with APR | FICO floor is 525 for MCA; no collateral required since it's unsecured | Recurring contract revenue is real, but the cash to run payroll this week still has to be in the account now
Who Funds Cleaning Companies — and What They Look At
Cleaning is a business built on recurring relationships — commercial contracts, residential subscriptions, property-management accounts — but that steady book of business doesn't always mean steady cash on hand. Byzfunder underwrites on what's actually happening in your bank account:
- Business bank deposits, trailing 3–6 months. Recurring client payments, one-off jobs, and contract invoicing that's been collected all count.
- Time in business. Typically 6 months to 1 year, though a strong deposit pattern can offset a shorter operating history.
- FICO floor of 525 for MCA. A minimum, not a target.
- No collateral requirement. MCA is unsecured — Byzfunder purchases a portion of your future receivables, it doesn't put a lien on your vans or equipment.
Amounts range up to $500,000 depending on file strength; a smaller residential cleaning operation and a commercial janitorial contractor with a dozen accounts will size differently based on their own deposit history.
Why Cleaning's Cash Flow Fits (or Challenges) an Advance
Cleaning businesses live between two cash-flow realities. Recurring commercial and residential contracts create a predictable revenue base — which is a genuine strength most industries don't have. But that predictability sits next to real friction: net-30 or net-60 payment terms from commercial and property-management clients, payroll for cleaning crews that runs weekly regardless of when an invoice clears, and the ongoing cost of supplies, equipment, and vehicles that doesn't pause for a slow-pay client.
Growth adds its own strain. Winning a new commercial contract usually means staffing up, buying supplies, and sometimes new equipment before the first invoice under that contract is even collected. A cleaning company that's growing fast can be cash-tight precisely because it's winning business, not because it's struggling.
A merchant cash advance or ByzFlex draw bridges that gap without waiting on a bank's multi-week process — useful when a new contract, a payroll cycle, or an equipment need can't wait on net-30 terms to catch up.
What It Costs
MCA cost is a factor rate — a fixed multiplier on the advance amount, set at funding — not an interest rate or APR. It doesn't grow if repayment takes longer; it's fixed the day you're funded.
| Advance Amount | Factor Rate | Total Repayment |
|---|---|---|
| $10,000 | 1.20 | $12,000 |
| $30,000 | 1.28 | $38,400 |
| $75,000 | 1.35 | $101,250 |
These figures are illustrative — actual factor rates depend on your deposit history, time in business, and credit profile, and are not a quote for any specific applicant. ByzFlex, revenue-based revolving capital, works differently: you draw what you need against an approved limit and repay weekly, which fits recurring, ongoing capital needs better than a single fixed advance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do I need to fund my cleaning company this week?
Three months of business bank statements and basic business information — entity type, time in business, and a rough monthly revenue figure. The application takes minutes, and qualifying files can get a decision the same day.
Who do I actually talk to, and how do I start the application?
You apply directly with Byzfunder — there's one team that funds you. Apply here to start; a member of the team follows up on your submitted file.
Do I need collateral, like my vans or equipment?
No. An MCA is unsecured — it's a purchase of a portion of your future receivables, priced with a factor rate, not a loan secured against equipment, vehicles, or property.
What credit score do I need?
Byzfunder's FICO floor for MCA is 525. That's a floor, not a guarantee of approval — deposit consistency and time in business matter too.
My contracts are net-30. Does that hurt my chances?
Not on its own. Net-30 and net-60 terms are normal in commercial cleaning, and underwriting reads your actual deposit pattern rather than penalizing standard invoice terms. A consistent history of those invoices eventually clearing is what matters.
