Florida Market

Your busy season pays for the whole year. Your bank only looks at the slow one.

A Gulf Coast hospitality group that does most of its year in a five-month window. A South Florida importer carrying goods the bank won't count until they clear. A construction operator riding a building boom that never seems to slow down. Florida revenue moves in seasons and surges, and a bank reads the quiet month as weakness instead of the rhythm of the business. The numbers are strong across the year — the bank just keeps looking at the wrong month.

That's the gap we fill — 70+ lenders who underwrite Florida revenue on the full-year picture and the cash flow behind it, not the slow-season snapshot a bank fixates on.

Capital Stacking

How a Gulf Coast Hospitality Group Stacked to $3.9M — Property, Renovation, and Season

A coastal hospitality group bought the property it had been leasing, renovated ahead of peak season, and needed working capital to carry payroll through the build and into opening — all on a calendar that doesn't wait. One bank product would have funded the purchase and left the rest unfunded. The stack funded all three, on the season's clock.

Three products, three lenders, one application — the stack funds the whole growth curve, not a slice of it.

$3.9M funded — here’s the stack

Owner-occupied commercial mortgage$2.5M
buying the property instead of leasing it
Renovation & equipment financing$900K
the refresh and build-out before peak season
Working capital$500K
payroll and operations through the off-season into opening
Funded together$3.9M

Each layer underwritten by the lender that prices it best.

$1.4M in commercial kitchen and refrigeration equipment for a hospitality group, financed at 10% down ($140K). Section 179 generally lets equipment like this be written off the year it's placed in service — here, a $1.4M deduction, roughly $518K back at a 37% rate. Far more write-off than they put down, with cash preserved for operations. Your CPA confirms the specifics.

What an operator said

We do 70% of our year in five months, and every bank we talked to looked at our September numbers and saw a struggling business. Basecamp looked at the full year and the season behind it, and structured the property, the renovation, and the working capital together — fast enough to open before peak.

Underwriting

What Underwriting Looks At

Funding here leads with what your business actually does — your revenue and cash flow. The specialist desk reads the real picture from your statements, then matches it to the lenders most likely to fund it.

Revenue-first

sized off your top line, not just your balance sheet.

Cash-flow driven

your bank statements show how the business really runs.

Bank-statement underwriting

even a down year is read off 4 months of statements.

Story-driven

a big new contract, a seasonal swing, a turnaround in progress: context the raw numbers miss counts too.

Qualification

What It Takes to Qualify — at Every Size

What a lender needs scales with the size of the structure. A $250K working-capital line reads off a few months of bank statements; a $10M capital stack gets underwritten like the serious commercial credit it is. Here's the honest line at each level — and the desk will tell you straight where your file lands.

The story

Holds up to an underwriter

Time in business is a factor, not a gate — newer operators with strong revenue still qualify. What stalls a file at any size: sustained losses with no turnaround story, no clear use of funds, or undisclosed stacking — most of it fixable in a quarter, and the desk tells you straight which gaps to fix first.

FAQ

Florida Business Loans — Questions

6+ months in business, a business checking account, and consistent monthly revenue. We pull a soft credit check that won't affect your score. Revenue and cash flow drive approval — your credit score is one factor, not the only one. Strong business performance matters most.

When the file's ready, working-capital and revenue-based products can fund $1M+ in as little as 48 hours. Equipment financing typically runs about one to two weeks. Commercial real estate runs longer — we do it, it's just not the 48-hour lane. The single biggest factor in speed is how ready your documentation is.

Yes — and we understand seasonal revenue better than a bank does. Hotels, restaurants, attractions, and marine businesses that do most of their year in a few months qualify on full-year numbers and cash flow, not the slow-season snapshot a bank fixes on. Capital stacking fits the buy-renovate-open-before-peak rhythm these operators run on.

No fixed minimum. Lenders evaluate the full business profile — monthly deposits, time in business, industry, and cash flow — over personal credit alone. Some products reach operators scoring as low as 500.

Every legal industry. Our strongest Florida verticals include hospitality and tourism, construction, international trade, healthcare, restaurants, marine, auto repair, wholesale, and attorneys — from Orlando hospitality groups to Miami importers.

We structure CRE financing from $500K to $20M+ — conventional commercial mortgages, bridge loans, and construction financing. Florida's hospitality, industrial, and coastal markets are especially active and lenders compete hard here.

A Florida bank gives you one option — their own. You apply, wait weeks, and get a single answer. Through Basecamp, lenders compete for your business at the same time. One application, multiple offers, and a dedicated specialist who structures the capital stack that fits your situation.

From the Founder

Florida Business Lending — From a Specialist Who Works With Florida Operators Every Day

Florida is one of the fastest-growing business economies in the country, and our team works with Florida operators every day. From Orlando hospitality groups timing a renovation to peak season to Miami importers carrying goods through customs, the pattern is the same: Florida businesses run on seasons and surges, and they need capital that moves with the calendar instead of fighting it.

Here's what we see constantly — a hospitality or seasonal operator needs to buy a property, renovate it, and carry payroll through the build, all before the season opens. The bank funds the purchase and leaves the rest, which means missing the season the whole plan was built around. Through Basecamp, real lenders compete through one application, and a dedicated specialist builds the full stack: an owner-occupied mortgage for the property, renovation and equipment financing, working capital for the ramp. Three lenders, priced to fit, funded in time to hit the season.

If you're looking at commercial financing in Florida, the hospitality and industrial corridors along both coasts are among the most active in the country — demand high, transactions moving fast. For seasonal and hospitality operators, capital stacking is how you fund property, renovation, and operations without draining reserves. Run your numbers through our commercial funding calculator before you commit.

Florida commercial lending runs at scale. We structure transactions across the state's major markets — Miami, Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville, and the Gulf Coast — where tourism, trade, and construction create one of the deepest commercial financing pipelines in the country.
