If funding approval takes weeks… that’s a problem.

We’re seeing more situations where the opportunity is real — but the timeline doesn’t work.

Banks take weeks to approve, underwrite, and document. Meanwhile, businesses need to act now.

That gap is where deals get stuck.

In today’s environment, speed isn’t a nice-to-have. It’s a requirement.

And today’s financing needs are rarely solved with a single product. Many businesses require a combination of solutions working together.

That coordination is often where deals slow down.

At Franklin Capital, we bring these solutions together to help reduce friction and move faster, including:
• PO financing to secure inventory.
• A/R financing to maintain cash flow.
• Stretch financing to fill short-term gaps.

These solutions allow us to align the right type of capital with each client’s needs. This approach helps reduce timelines and avoids the delays that often come with coordinating multiple lenders.

Because in today’s environment, it’s not just about access to capital, it’s about accessing it at the speed your business requires.

If you’re seeing opportunities that need to move faster, let’s connect.

As we close the chapter on 2025, we want to say thank you.

Last year reinforced just how critical strong partnerships are - especially in a market where timing, certainty, and ex*****on matter more than ever.

Throughout 2025, we worked closely with brokers, bankers, and finance partners who stayed proactive, communicated clearly, and focused on delivering real solutions for their clients.

Together, we helped businesses:
• Secure working capital when traditional lenders slowed down through A/R, Purchase Order, and Stretch Financing.
• Move quickly on opportunities despite market uncertainty.
• Rely on funding structures aligned with real operational needs.

What stood out most wasn’t just the transactions, it was the collaboration. Trust, follow-through, and clear communication made all the difference.

As we head into 2026, our focus remains the same: fast ex*****on, transparent structures, and partnership-driven results.

We’re grateful for the trust placed in Franklin Capital and look forward to building on this momentum together.

Here’s to a strong start to 2026.

Wishing you a season of peace and happiness and a new year filled with opportunity and growth.

🚀 SBA Loans Are Getting Tougher — Don’t Let It Slow You Down 🚀

For years, SBA-backed loans and bank financing were the go-to source of working capital for small businesses.

But the rules have changed: higher credit requirements, reinstated fees, federal staffing cuts, and reduced access to “small loans” now make qualifying harder than ever.

⚠️ The result? Longer approvals, higher costs, and more denials — while business opportunities don’t wait.

A large order, a new customer contract, or seasonal demand can appear suddenly. Missing the chance to fulfill them can mean lost revenue.

That’s why more companies are turning to small business loan alternatives like Accounts Receivable Financing, Stretch Financing, Purchase Order Financing, and other flexible working-capital solutions from Franklin Capital.

💰 Accounts Receivable Financing
Turn invoices into immediate cash. Franklin Capital advances funds against your outstanding invoices so you have working capital for payroll, suppliers, or growth initiatives.

Key benefits:
✅ Fast access to cash without taking on new debt
✅ Flexible funding that grows with your sales
✅ Improved cash flow to keep operations running smoothly

🧾 Stretch Financing
Freight, packaging, deposits, and overhead can add up quickly. Stretch Financing provides extra working capital on top of your A/R funding to cover these costs — quickly and easily, unlike traditional loans.

📦 Purchase Order Financing
When customer orders exceed available cash, Franklin Capital pays your suppliers directly so you can fulfill large orders without delay. Once your customer pays, Franklin is repaid.

This approach lets you:
✅ Take on new orders without cash shortages
✅ Protect your credit lines and avoid over leveraging
✅ Scale financing alongside your growth

For companies struggling to access SBA loans, PO Financing is a fast, practical alternative that bridges the gap between suppliers and customers.

Why Franklin Capital?
We help small and mid-sized businesses succeed when traditional financing isn’t an option. Our tailored programs — including Purchase Order Financing, Accounts Receivable Financing, Stretch Financing, and other working-capital solutions — give you the flexibility to grow without waiting on slow approvals.

Our focus is on speed, flexibility, and growth — making us a trusted partner for businesses seeking small business loan alternatives that actually work in today’s lending environment.

💡 Don’t let stricter SBA rules and insufficient staffing slow your business down.
