FAQ

Common questions

Straight answers to what Irvine owners ask most, from a local broker.

You start by sharing recent sales reports, your lease or property details, and how you plan to use the funds. Summit Lenders reviews your concept and connects you with restaurant-savvy lenders who can structure terms around your cash flow.

Typical loan amounts range from twenty-five thousand for equipment or small renovations to five hundred thousand or more for build-outs or multi-unit expansions. Your revenue and lease strength influence the ceiling.

Funding speed depends on loan size and complexity. Working capital or equipment loans often close in one to three weeks, while full build-outs or tenant improvements may take four to six weeks through underwriting.

Credit needs vary widely. Strong sales and positive cash flow can offset fair credit, especially if you have a proven concept, loyal customer base, and solid online reviews in a competitive market like Irvine.

Collateral usually includes kitchen equipment, furniture, and fixtures. Some lenders place a lien on all business assets or require a personal guarantee, particularly for larger build-outs or newer restaurant concepts.

Documents typically include several months of bank statements or sales reports, your lease agreement, business tax returns, and a profit and loss statement. New concepts may need a detailed business plan and build-out budget.
