Booked solid? Add the chairs and rooms that keep up with demand.
Equipment and expansion financing for Canadian salons, spas and med spas. One application, an experienced advisor, and lenders that understand appointment-based revenue.
Lenders in these industries underwrite from your deposits. That's why our first questions are about revenue, not your credit score.
Money for the things that grow the business.
Add chairs and stations
Expand capacity for a team that's already booked out weeks ahead.
Lasers and aesthetic devices
Laser hair removal, skin and body contouring equipment. The device itself secures the financing.
Build out or renovate
Leasehold improvements for a new location, or a refresh that lets you raise your prices.
Stock retail and product
Buy product in volume for better margins on retail sales.
What beauty lenders do most.
Your advisor knows which lenders are strongest for each one and will bring you the options that fit.
Equipment financing
Buy machines, vehicles and tools. The equipment itself secures the financing.
Best when: You know exactly what you're buying.
Leasehold improvement financing
Funds buildouts and renovations to space you lease.
Best when: New locations and major renovations.
Term loan
A lump sum repaid in fixed payments over a set term.
Best when: A one-time project, expansion or acquisition.
Your bank doesn't understand appointment-based businesses.
Lenders that fund salons and spas look at your card deposits, client volume and the equipment you're adding. Steady daily payouts tell most of the story.
If this sounds like you, you're a fit.

Before you apply.
Does checking my options affect my credit?
No. Our questions don't involve a credit check. If you decide to move forward, your advisor or lender will ask for your consent before running one.
Who sees my information?
One funding advisor, chosen for your industry and request. They share it with lenders only to get you offers. We never sell your application to a list or to several companies at once.
What does it cost me?
Nothing from us. Straightline doesn't charge borrowers; advisors pay us for introductions. Some advisors charge a fee or are paid by the lender. Yours will tell you how they're paid before you move forward.
What will my advisor ask for?
Usually your last 3 to 6 months of business bank statements, basic ownership details and what the funds are for. Having statements ready is the fastest way to get offers.
One application. An advisor who knows beauty.
