Forward Financing

Provides fast funding solutions for small businesses

About Forward Financing

Forward Financing offers fast and flexible funding solutions to small businesses in the United States, focusing on those who may not qualify for traditional bank loans. Their main product is a merchant cash advance, which provides a lump sum of cash in exchange for a percentage of future sales, allowing for quick funding often within 24 hours. Unlike traditional lenders, Forward Financing operates in the alternative lending space, providing a more accessible application process, though at higher fees due to the increased risk. The company's goal is to support small business growth by offering reliable funding while adhering to high ethical standards.
