Funding Shapes

Six funding shapes

6 ways Missoula County businesses cover wages, stock, machines and growth, grouped by how each is repaid or collected.

Working Capital

Short money for wages, rent and supplier bills that fall due before your own customers pay.

Business Term Loans

A single sum for a fit-out, a second site or a refinance, paid back on a fixed schedule.

Business Line of Credit

A limit you draw against when a bill lands; paying it down frees the room again.

Inventory Financing

Cash for stock or parts bought before they sell, usually secured by the goods.

Equipment Financing

Loans, leases and finance agreements for excavators, ovens, dental chairs and work trucks.

Merchant Cash Advance

A sale of future card or bank receipts, not a loan. Total the full remittance before you sign.

A broker, not a lender

In short

Ivybend Advances, a small-business funding broker in Missoula, MT, lends nothing itself and has no money in any deal. From 111 W Broadway St it helps Missoula County owners compare working capital, term loans, credit lines, inventory and equipment financing and merchant cash advances, then routes requests to lending partners, which decide and set every rate and term.

The word Advances sits in our name, but Ivybend Advances is a broker, not a lender. We do not hand out money, approve applications or price offers.

Our part comes before a partner sees anything. We ask what the funding will pay for and what will pay it back, explain how the structures that fit behave, and send the request only to partners that write that structure. If an offer comes back, the contract is between your business and that partner. No one can tell you ahead of time whether you will be approved, how much you will receive or what it will cost, so treat anyone who promises that with suspicion.

The formal statement of our role is in the broker disclosures; the practical version is the broker process. Longer answers to single questions, such as funding a first hire or a second dental chair, live on the Ivybend blog, and free help that has nothing to do with us is collected in Western Montana small business resources.

How to begin

How it works

Four steps separate your call from a partner's answer.

  1. Say what it pays for

    Ring us, or send the short online form and we ring back. We ask about the purpose then.

  2. Pick a funding shape

    The purpose points to a structure, and the structure decides which partners see the file.

  3. The partner underwrites

    A lending partner reviews the business, decides, and prices anything it offers.

  4. You choose

    Set total cost against payment rhythm. An offer never obliges you to accept.

How It Works

Name, email, phone and business name, three range picks (time in business, annual revenue, amount needed), then a consent tick. That is all. Rather talk? Call (406) 313-8064.
