Business Loans in New York $250K to $20M+

New York is the most expensive place in America to run a business — rent, payroll, and the cost of simply operating run higher here than anywhere else. We work with New York operators every day to fund the growth that cost demands: one application, real lenders, and $1M+ in as little as 48 hours when your file's ready.

New York Market

You pay more to operate here than anywhere in the country. Your bank treats the cost like a risk.

A Manhattan professional-services firm whose rent and payroll run double what they'd be anywhere else. A multi-location healthcare group expanding across the boroughs. An upstate manufacturer competing nationally from one of the highest-cost states in the country. New York operators carry costs no one else does just to be here — and a bank reads the thin margin those costs create as fragility, instead of the price of doing business in the financial capital of the world.

That's the gap we fill — 70+ lenders who underwrite New York revenue and cash flow first, and read your numbers in the context of what it actually costs to operate here.

Capital Stacking

How a New York Services Firm Stacked to $3.7M — Space, Build-Out, and Runway

A growing professional-services firm in New York was done paying escalating rent and bought its own floor — then needed to build it out and carry payroll through the move and the ramp. One bank product would have funded the purchase and stopped there. The stack funded the space, the build-out, and the runway together.

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

$3.7M funded — here’s the stack

Owner-occupied commercial mortgage$2.2M
buying its own space instead of renting it
Build-out & equipment financing$1.0M
fitting out the new floor
Working capital$500K
payroll and operations through the move and ramp
Funded together$3.7M

Each layer underwritten by the lender that prices it best.

$1.5M in diagnostic and imaging equipment for a healthcare group, financed at 10% down ($150K). Section 179 generally lets equipment like this be written off the year it's placed in service — here, a $1.5M deduction, roughly $555K 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

Our rent went up every single year and we were done with it — we wanted to own our space. The bank would finance the purchase but not the build-out or the months of payroll during the move. Basecamp structured all three together, and we stopped renting without draining the business to do it.

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

New York 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 — owner-occupied commercial real estate is one of the most common New York structures we see. A business buying the space it operates in can stack the mortgage with build-out and working capital so the move off rising rent doesn't drain operations. (Note: this is owner-occupied operating-business financing — not investment-property or rental-portfolio lending.)

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 New York verticals include professional and financial services, healthcare, restaurants and hospitality, manufacturing, wholesale, construction, auto repair, med spa, and attorneys — from Manhattan firms to upstate manufacturers.

We structure owner-occupied CRE financing from $500K to $20M+ — conventional commercial mortgages, bridge loans, and build-out financing for businesses buying or improving the space they operate in. New York's market is the largest in the country and lenders compete hard here.

A New York 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

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

New York is the highest-cost business environment in the country, and our team works with New York operators every day. From Manhattan firms buying their own floors to upstate manufacturers competing nationally, the pattern is the same: New York businesses carry costs no one else does, and they need capital structured to stretch every dollar against the highest rent and payroll base in America.

Here's what we see constantly — a growing business is done with escalating rent and wants to own its space, or needs to expand under cost pressure. The bank funds the purchase and stops, leaving the build-out and the months of payroll during the transition unfunded. Through Basecamp, real lenders compete through one application, and a dedicated specialist builds the full stack: an owner-occupied mortgage for the space, build-out and equipment financing, working capital for the ramp. Three lenders, priced to fit, funded in a fraction of a bank's timeline.

If you're looking at commercial financing in New York, owner-occupied real estate is one of the strongest moves a growing operator can make — trading rising rent for equity in the space you already run from. For healthcare and professional-services operators, capital stacking is how you fund space, build-out, and operations at once without draining reserves. Run your numbers through our commercial funding calculator before you commit.

New York commercial lending runs at scale. We structure transactions across the state's major markets — Manhattan, Brooklyn, Long Island, Westchester, and upstate hubs like Buffalo and Rochester — where services, healthcare, and manufacturing create one of the deepest commercial financing pipelines in the country.
