Why New York Small Businesses Choose Byzfunder
New York has over 2.3 million small businesses (SBA Office of Advocacy, 2023) — more than any state except California. The NYC metro alone generates more small-business revenue than most U.S. states combined. And yet, bank lending to small businesses in New York remains constrained by underwriting criteria that exclude cash-flow-rich but credit-thin operators: restaurants, contractors, retailers, medical practices, and service businesses that run lean and move fast.
Byzfunder's underwriting is built around revenue, not bank standards:
- Direct funder. We source capital and fund from our own balance sheet. No broker fee, no loan packager, no third-party approval chain.
- Revenue-first underwriting. Your monthly deposits drive the decision. Credit matters, but FICO 525 (MCA) or 550 (ByzFlex) gets you to full underwriting — it doesn't disqualify you.
- Same-day decisions. Business banking in New York City doesn't wait on a 10-day review queue. Neither do we.
- $1B+ funded since 2019. ByzFunder NY LLC has been funding small businesses for six years.
What makes Byzfunder different from an MCA broker:
- We fund from our own balance sheet — you're dealing directly with the funder
- No broker fee layered on top of your cost
- Revenue-first underwriting means a hard month doesn't automatically kill your file

New York Industries We Fund
Food Service and Restaurants
New York City alone has over 27,000 food service establishments (NYC Department of Health). The cash-flow problem is universal: food inventory is purchased daily, staff is paid weekly, and credit card settlements arrive on a 2-to-3-day lag. Equipment breaks — a single commercial refrigerator repair runs $2,000–$5,000. Seasonal revenue swings hit full-service restaurants every winter.
MCA is the standard tool for New York restaurant operators: advance against future card settlements, repay as a percentage of daily deposits. ByzFlex works for operators who need revolving access — draw for a walk-in compressor replacement in January, draw again for summer event staffing in June.
Construction and Contracting
New York's construction market never fully stops: commercial buildouts in Manhattan and Brooklyn, residential work on Long Island and in Westchester, infrastructure projects across all five boroughs. Contractors in New York face the same draw-schedule timing gap as everywhere else — materials and labor are due before the draw arrives.
One additional pressure in New York: prevailing wage requirements on public contracts increase labor costs and reduce margin on public-sector work. Contractors carrying public and private jobs simultaneously need float capital between payment cycles. MCA lump-sum advances are the practical instrument.
Healthcare and Medical Practices
New York's healthcare sector includes some of the largest hospital systems in the world, but it also includes tens of thousands of independent practices — dental offices, physical therapy clinics, urgent care centers, dermatology practices, and behavioral health providers — that operate on insurance reimbursement cycles of 30–90 days. That lag is the working-capital problem.
MCA and ByzFlex are used by New York medical practices to bridge the gap between service rendered and insurance paid. Revenue-first underwriting means we read your actual deposit history, not just your credit score.
Retail and E-Commerce (NYC Metro)
New York retail is intense: high rent, high foot traffic, high inventory turnover. A boutique in SoHo or a pharmacy in the Bronx may need a $30,000 inventory advance before a seasonal peak and need it in 48 hours, not 30 days. ByzFlex's revolving structure works particularly well for retailers who cycle through working capital needs on a predictable schedule.
Professional Services and Staffing
Law firms, accounting practices, marketing agencies, IT consultancies — professional service businesses in New York often have lumpy billing cycles: a major client retainer clears in one month; the next two months are slower. ByzFlex lets these businesses draw capital when the cash-flow dip hits and repay weekly as the next retainer arrives.
What You'll Need to Apply
- 3 months of business bank statements
- Basic business information (entity name, EIN, time in business, address)
- Driver's license or government-issued ID
- Most recent business tax return (required for some files)
The application takes 3 minutes online. Same-day review is realistic if you have your bank statements ready to upload.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Byzfunder licensed to operate in New York?
Can a New York City restaurant qualify for MCA?
Yes. Restaurant businesses in New York City qualify using the same criteria as any other business: 12 months in business, $20,000+/month in deposits, FICO 525+. The seasonal and high-volume nature of NYC restaurant deposits works in your favor — we read actual deposit history, not annualized averages. A restaurant doing $60,000/month in peak season that slows to $18,000 in February still tells a clear story of an active business.
I operate in Brooklyn / Queens / Staten Island / the Bronx. Does location matter?
No. Byzfunder funds businesses in all five NYC boroughs, Long Island, Westchester, and across New York State. Your business location within New York does not affect underwriting — revenue, FICO, and time in business are what matter.
Can a New York contractor qualify if their revenue is lumpy?
Yes. Construction deposit patterns are lumpy by nature — large inflows when draw disbursements arrive, smaller ongoing deposits for maintenance work. Our underwriting accounts for this. We look at the trailing 3–6 months to understand your revenue rhythm, not just your monthly average.
What is the minimum credit score to qualify for business funding in New York?
FICO 525 for MCA / Term Loan. FICO 550 for ByzFlex. Scores above the floor go to full underwriting — credit is one input, not the deciding factor. Revenue and deposit consistency carry more weight.
How fast can I get funded in New York?
Applications submitted with complete bank statements can receive same-day decisions. Funding typically arrives 1–3 business days after approval, depending on your bank. Wire transfers are available for faster settlement.
