Will It Fund Podcast

Stuck at $250K in revenue and wondering how to break through to your next level? Equipment financing could be the cash flow lever you've been missing — and most business owners don't even know how to use it.

If your small business is generating $250,000 a year and you're ready to scale, this video breaks down the exact strategy Jason uses to help business owners in trades, construction, manufacturing, and services grow their revenue — without draining their cash reserves.

In this episode, Jason walks through two real-world business examples — a tree service company and a manufacturer — and shows you the math behind leveraging equipment financing to go from $250K to $1M+ in annual revenue.

📌 What you'll learn:
→ Why financing equipment (instead of paying cash) keeps your capital working for you
→ How $1,500/month payments on a financed dump truck, crane, or stump grinder can free up $11,500/month vs. renting
→ Why a $50K equipment purchase at $1,250/month lets you buy TWO machines instead of one — and double your output
→ The real difference between equipment financing and working capital — and why one can trap you
→ What credit score and time in business you actually need to get approved
→ How businesses with 5+ years and a 700+ FICO can access $150K–$750K in equipment financing — sometimes within hours

⚠️ Jason also tells the truth about working capital loans — the rates, the risks, and why so many businesses get trapped in a debt spiral. Watch before you sign anything.

How to Scale Your Small Business from $250K to $1M+ with Equipment Financing

Equipment Financing vs Working Capital: The Truth About "Predatory" Lending

4 Ways to Fund Your Business (And What Each One Actually Costs You)

SBA loans are one of the most misunderstood funding options for small business owners — and the most common reason you get denied has nothing to do with your credit score.
In this episode, Jason Ames from Direct Credit Funding breaks down how SBA loans actually work, what credit score you need, what really kills applications, and what to do if the bank says no.

With nearly 30 years of lending experience and over $850M funded, Jason gives you the honest, no-fluff breakdown of SBA loans that most lenders won't share.

In this video, you'll learn:
- How SBA loans actually work — and why they can take 90+ days to close
- The minimum credit score to qualify (and how some owners get funded at 580)
- The most common mistakes that get SBA loan applications denied
- What documentation you actually need (EIN, licenses, business bank accounts)
- What lenders look at beyond your credit score
- How blanket liens from SBA loans can affect your personal and business assets
- How to qualify for larger loans ($100K+) and negotiate better terms
- Hidden loan clauses to watch out for — prepayment penalties & collateral requirements
- When SBA loans make sense — and when alternative financing is the smarter move

Whether you're applying for your first business loan or you've already been denied, this episode gives you a real-world roadmap to getting funded.
