FAQs About ERC Financing

Frequently Asked Questions, Answered

Funds will typically reach a business’s bank account within 24 hours once approved, but it can take up to three business days, depending on the bank.

ERC Bridge Financing proceeds can be used for any business expense. Unlike other COVID-19 relief programs, there are very few restrictions regarding businesses’ use of their refund.

In most cases, the following three factors determine whether a business will qualify for an ERC Bridge Loan or ERC Claim Buyout:

  1. The business must have submitted a valid Employee Retention Credit (ERC) claim of $75,000 or higher with the IRS.
  2. The business must have been operating since at least February 2020.
  3. The business owner, or the business, must meet credit approval or lien assessment requirement.

IRS processing for the Employee Retention Credit (ERC) can take up to ten months. This timeline is too long for businesses tackling rising inflation, higher interest rates, and limited access to capital. ERC Bridge Financing allows businesses to access their refund in days and use it wherever it’s needed.

Employee Retention Credit (ERC) Bridge Financing refers to 1st Capital Financial’s solution for businesses that do not want or cannot afford to wait for the IRS to process their ERC refund. By applying for an ERC Bridge Loan or an ERC Claim Buyout, businesses can advance up to 85% of their refund in a matter of days.
