Business Funding

Recurring weekly clients, predictable monthly revenue, and consistent bank deposits make cleaning businesses excellent MCA candidates. Whether you're buying a van, stocking supplies, or hiring a new crew — here's how cleaning service owners get funded in 24–48 hours.

Quick Answer

Cleaning businesses — residential, commercial, janitorial, and specialty — qualify for MCA with 6+ months in business, $8,000+/month in deposits, and a 500+ FICO. Recurring client payment patterns make cleaning services some of the most predictable MCA files. Most established cleaning businesses qualify for $6,000–$35,000 in 24–48 hours.

Cleaning Business Types We Fund

All cleaning segments qualify — here's how underwriters view the deposit profile for each.

🏠
Residential
House Cleaning
Weekly/biweekly client payments. Predictable recurring deposits. High NSF risk if cash flow is thin — keep deposits digital.
🏢
Commercial
Office Cleaning
Monthly recurring contract payments. Predictable larger deposits. Slow-pay clients can delay deposits — watch the 3-month window.
🏭
Industrial
Janitorial Services
Large contracts, high per-job revenue. Strong deposit amounts but potentially fewer individual deposit events per month.
🌿
Specialty
Post-Construction Cleaning
Variable project timing. Deposits may be lumpy (large, infrequent). Underwriters will review the full 3-month picture.
🚒
Specialty
Disaster Restoration
High-value jobs but unpredictable timing. Strong deposit volumes when active — apply during or after a high-job-volume month.
🪟
Specialty
Window & Pressure Washing
Seasonal in northern markets. Apply during spring/summer peak when deposits reflect full seasonal activity.

Cleaning business tip: If clients pay by check or cash, deposit them the same day into your business account. Delays between when work is done and when payments are deposited create gaps in your bank statement that underwriters notice. Consistent, frequent deposits tell the best story about your business's activity level.

Cleaning Business Funding FAQs

Can a cleaning business get a merchant cash advance?

Yes. Cleaning businesses qualify for MCA with 6+ months in business, $8,000+/month in deposits, and 500+ FICO. Recurring client payment patterns create consistent deposit histories that underwriters evaluate favorably. Most established cleaning services fund in 24–48 hours.

How much funding can a cleaning business get?

Cleaning business MCA amounts are typically 75%–150% of average monthly deposits. A service averaging $10,000/month qualifies for $7,500–$15,000. Commercial cleaning with larger recurring contracts can qualify for $25,000–$75,000+.

Can a solo cleaner (sole proprietor) get MCA?

Yes. Solo cleaners operating as sole proprietors qualify with the same criteria: 6+ months in business, $8,000+/month in deposits, 500+ FICO. A dedicated business bank account strongly improves the application but personal accounts with clearly identifiable business income are accepted.

What can cleaning businesses use MCA for?

Common uses: service van purchase, professional equipment, team hiring, cleaning supply inventory, insurance prepayment, scheduling software, marketing campaigns, and payroll bridge during slow months. No restrictions on use within the business.

Does having cleaning contracts improve my MCA chances?

Yes. Commercial cleaning contracts with recurring monthly payments demonstrate predictable revenue — which underwriters view positively. The cleaner and more predictable your deposit pattern, the stronger your file.

Can I get MCA if clients are slow to pay?

MCA is based on actual deposits — not invoiced revenue. If slow-pay clients delay deposits, your qualifying average may be lower than your invoiced revenue. For heavily B2B cleaning businesses with net-30/60 terms, invoice factoring may be a better fit. For businesses collecting within 1–2 weeks, MCA works well.
