Four minutes. Three statements. One offer.
Apply for salon, spa or barbershop funding in about four minutes. You need an application and your three most recent months of business bank statements. No minimum FICO for working capital, $15,000 a month in deposits, 6 months in business. Offer in about four business hours, funded in 24.
Submitting the application does not affect your credit.
One application covers all five.
Every button below opens the same four-minute application. If you’re not sure which product fits, start anywhere — the underwriter will place the file.
What you need, exactly
- A four-minute application: legal entity name, DBA, EIN, address, owner name and date of birth, ownership percentage, last four of SSN, monthly revenue, time in business, amount requested, and what it’s for.
- Your three most recent months of business bank statements as PDFs — four months if your year has a real slow season. Downloaded from your bank, not screenshots. Booking-app and processor reports are not needed; everything we underwrite from is already on the bank statement.
- That’s it. No tax returns under $500,000. No business plan. No collateral for working capital. No minimum credit score for working capital or factoring.
What happens after you submit
- Within about 4 business hours on a weekday, an underwriter reads your file and we come back with an amount, a total payback, a payment and a schedule — or a decline with the actual reason.
- If you take the offer, you sign a two-page contract.
- A clean file signed before 11:00 AM ET generally funds the same business day. Otherwise, next.
We will call you. We don’t run automated email sequences, so put a number on the application you actually answer — the front desk is fine if someone picks up between clients.
Does applying affect my credit?
Submitting the application does not affect your credit. We review your business bank statements first. If you move forward on a credit-qualified product — a line of credit, a term loan, or SBA — a credit pull happens at that point and we tell you before it does.

Before you click.
How long does the application take?
About four minutes. You need your legal entity name, DBA, EIN, address, owner name and date of birth, ownership percentage, last four of your SSN, monthly revenue, time in business, the amount you want, and what it is for.
What documents do I need to apply for salon funding?
An application plus your three most recent months of business bank statements as PDFs — four months if your year has a real slow season. Downloaded from your bank, not screenshots. No tax returns under $500,000, no business plan, and no collateral for working capital.
Does applying affect my credit?
No. Submitting the application does not affect your credit. Backbar Capital reviews your business bank statements first. If you move forward on a credit-qualified product — a line of credit, a term loan, or SBA — a credit pull happens at that point and we tell you before it does.
What happens after I submit?
Within about 4 business hours on a weekday an underwriter reads your file and comes back with an amount, a total payback, a payment and a schedule — or a decline with the actual reason. If you take the offer you sign a two-page contract. A clean file signed before 11:00 AM ET generally funds the same business day.
Do I need statements from my booking app or processor?
No. The bank statements are enough. Vagaro, Square, Booksy and GlossGenius payouts, card settlements, cash deposits and booth rent all show up on the bank statement, which is the only revenue document we underwrite from.
Will you email me updates?
No. Backbar Capital does not run automated email sequences. We will call you, so put a number on the application that you actually answer.
How is my SSN and EIN handled?
Your full SSN and EIN are stored encrypted in a dedicated secrets vault, are never displayed back on any screen, never written into logs or email, and never placed into any AI or large-language-model system. Display surfaces show the last four digits only. See the privacy policy.
