For Q3 2026 we’re running a fast-quote window for North Carolina restaurant operators. Here’s what’s on the table.

## What the Fast-Quote Window Covers

This quarter, any NC operator can use our **60-second pre-qualification** to get a fast quote with:

-   **No out-of-pocket fees** on working capital
-   **No credit impact** for your initial quote (soft pull only)
-   **Same-business-day callback** from our Wilmington team
-   **Three-minute phone diagnosis** to size your deal correctly

If you’ve been thinking about equipment financing, 

restaurant working capital

, food-truck financing, or any of our other 

financing solutions

[/restaurant-equipment-financing/ →](/restaurant-equipment-financing/)

, this is the right window to start the conversation. The pre-qual is non-binding — it gets you visibility into what you’d be approved for so you can plan.

## Who Should Pre-Qualify Now

A few operator situations where pre-qualifying this quarter makes especially good sense:

**Equipment you’ve been delaying.** If you’ve been putting off a hood replacement, a walk-in upgrade, or new prep stations because you weren’t sure if the financing would work, pre-qualify and find out. The answer often surprises operators in either direction — you may be approved for more than expected, or we may suggest a better structure than the one you’d been considering.

**Coastal operators heading into peak season.** If you’re a Crystal Coast, OBX, or Wilmington-area operator, the next 60 days are the right window to lock in pre-season equipment and working capital. Pre-qualifying now means funding is ready when you need to deploy it.

**Bank turndown situations.** If a bank has declined a recent application, get a second opinion. Our underwriting works differently than a single bank’s narrow criteria, and operators are often approved through our lender network on deals the bank turned down.

**Multi-unit expansion planning.** If you’re scaling additional locations and want to know what financing capacity is available before you sign a lease, pre-qualify now so you’re walking into your real-estate negotiations with a funding profile in hand.

## How to Use the Window

Three options — pick whichever fits your workflow:

1.  **

## Window Open Through September 30, 2026

The fast-quote window is open through the end of Q3 2026 (September 30). It’s not a one-time promotion — it’s how we operate year-round — but Q3 is a high-deployment window for NC operators heading into the back half of the year and a good time to lock in funding before peak coastal season ends and winter inventory planning begins.

**Start your 60-second pre-qual now.** No credit impact, no out-of-pocket fees on working capital.
