How to get funding for a cleaning business?
To get funding for a cleaning business, choose the product that matches your client mix: working capital loans and lines of credit for residential operations, and invoice factoring for commercial cleaners waiting 30-60 days on contract payments. Cleaning businesses are lean and cash-flow driven, which means one big contract win can ironically cause a cash crisis: you staff up weeks before the first invoice pays. Quordx Capital matches cleaning companies to lenders from a 50+ network who fund service businesses on revenue, not assets: free, with one application.

How cleaning companies get approved
Lenders evaluate a cleaning business almost entirely on cash flow, because there's little equipment to secure:
1. Show 3-6 months of deposits. Typical alternative-lender minimums are 3-6+ months in business and around $10K+ in monthly revenue. Recurring contract revenue, offices, medical facilities, property managers, reads especially well. 2. Commercial cleaners: factor your invoices. If clients pay on net-30 or net-60 terms, invoice factoring advances typically 70-90% of invoice value within days, and the factor underwrites your clients' credit, not yours. It's the most accessible option for newer commercial operations. 3. **Use working capital for growth sprints.** Hiring crews for a new contract, buying supplies in bulk, or running a marketing push fits a working capital loan ($5K-$500K, short-term). 4. Equipment counts too. Floor scrubbers, vans, and pressure-washing rigs qualify for equipment financing, where the asset is the collateral and approval standards relax.
Revenue-based products accept credit scores down to roughly 500-550, making this one of the more accessible industries for owners rebuilding credit.
Cleaning business funding options Quordx Capital brokers
Working capital loan: Best for staffing up on a new contract before it pays.

How Quordx Capital Works
A single 5-minute application plus bank statements, ID, and entity documents is the whole lift. Quordx Capital's matching process evaluates your revenue profile and client mix, then surfaces 3-7 best-fit lenders from 50+ vetted options, ranked by approval probability.

What to Expect
Expect realistic options even at modest revenue: cleaning businesses qualify on consistency, not size. If you're under 3 months in or below revenue minimums, expect a straight answer about that too, plus what to build toward; honesty beats a doomed application. There are no fees to you at any point, and no obligation to accept an offer.
