At ARF Financial, we’ve engaged with thousands of restaurant owners over the years who struggle to get the funding they need or the loan terms that make sense to keep their businesses profitable and moving forward. As the restaurant industry experts, our team of seasoned loan consultants specialize in providing the trusted financial guidance you deserve with industry-leading loan products that are designed (and can be customized) specifically for your unique circumstances. What’s more, we live and work in your community, understand your local market and are committed to assisting you throughout the life of your business.
Our focus is to get you the capital you need when you need it, while providing affordable, fixed payments to help you maximize your return on investment without sacrificing your cash flow. Here are some valuable options to put our restaurant financing to work in your business:
Size Matters!
Larger Loan Amounts, Longer Terms & Big Rewards
Big projects usually mean big upfront investments, something you can’t get from a merchant cash advance. If you’re ready to go BIG this year, we have financing that’s the perfect fit. You can now borrow up to $1,000,000 with terms up to 36 months to fund your big projects while keeping your costs low. Our average loan size is over six times larger and repayment terms are more than three times longer than a Merchant Cash Advance. Larger loan amounts mean you can invest in growth opportunities that will make a significant impact to your bottom line, and longer terms mean your payments are manageable and won’t interfere with your cash flow!

What Makes ARF Financial Different?
Since 2001, we have helped thousands of restaurant owners secure over a billion dollars in loan proceeds! The financing we provide is a true bank loan not a merchant cash advance, which means rates are lower, payments are fixed, terms are longer and the interest you pay is tax deductible. Through our exclusive relationships with community banks across the country, you can obtain the funds you need quickly and limited paperwork. It’s our job to understand your business goals, financing needs, and then customize a loan to meet those needs. You’ll receive the funds quickly, with fixed terms and affordable payments that won’t increase as revenue grows – maximizing your return on investment without sacrificing your cash flow.
