Frequently asked questions
Can I finance Pilates reformers or gym equipment?
Eligible reformers and fitness equipment may qualify for a loan or lease. The lender reviews the quote, equipment type, vendor, useful life, and your business profile. A down payment is required.
Can financing help open a new studio?
Potentially. Startup options differ from revenue-based financing for operating businesses. Owner experience, equity contribution, business plan, lease, and projected cash flow affect eligibility; opening a studio does not guarantee approval.
How do lenders review membership and class revenue?
Lenders consider actual deposits, operating history, recurring memberships, class sales, expenses, and existing debt. Seasonal changes and prepaid packages should be explained so billed or prepaid revenue is not confused with sustainable monthly cash flow.
Can I finance a second location or buy an existing studio?
Expansion or acquisition financing may be available. Expect a review of the current business's cash flow, the new location's lease and budget, or the seller's financial records, along with your contribution and repayment capacity.
