Restaurant Business Loan
Alternatives
Looking for restaurant business funding? Traditional restaurant loans are one option. SunSurf Capital offers an alternative form of business funding based on the purchase of future business receivables -- with remittances that flex with your actual daily sales.
Side-by-Side Comparison
How Traditional Business Loans Compare
to Sales-Based Financing
| Feature | Traditional Business Loan | SunSurf Capital (Sales-Based Financing) |
|---|---|---|
| Revenue alignment | Fixed payments regardless of slow nights or seasons | Remittances adjust based on actual daily or weekly sales |
| Approval factors | Credit score, collateral, years in business | [[PENDING COUNSEL: Confirm SunSurf evaluation criteria for restaurants]] |
| Speed | SBA loans: 2-3 months. Bank loans: 2-6 weeks | [[PENDING COUNSEL: Confirm SunSurf timeline for restaurants]] |
| Use of funds | Often restricted by loan covenants | [[PENDING COUNSEL: Confirm if SunSurf restricts use of funds]] |
| Product structure | Loan (debt obligation) | Purchase of future receivables (commercial transaction) |
Important distinction: SunSurf Capital does not offer loans. SunSurf provides business funding structured as the purchase of future business receivables. Payments (remittances) adjust based on your actual sales volume, unlike fixed loan payments. This is a fundamentally different product structure from a traditional business loan.
