NEW YORK, NY - Nationwide Advance, New York today announced the launch of its “Speed with Transparency” Pledge, a public commitment to improve how working capital is delivered to small and mid-sized businesses nationwide.
Founded in 2009 after the financial crisis, Nationwide Advance was built on the belief that strong businesses were being slowed down by rigid systems and long approval timelines. The company now aims to raise awareness around the real cost of delayed capital decisions and promote faster, clearer funding standards across the industry.
“Opportunity doesn’t wait for paperwork,” the team at Nationwide Advance says. “When a business owner needs inventory before Friday or payroll covered by Monday, timing is everything.”
The company adds, “Fast does not mean careless. It means responsive.”
And at the core of its mission: “Our goal has always been forward momentum. When capital arrives at the right time, businesses move.”
Why This Issue Matters Right Now
Small businesses represent 99.9% of all U.S. businesses and employ nearly half of the private workforce, according to the U.S. Small Business Administration.
Yet Federal Reserve data shows that over 40% of small businesses report difficulty accessing traditional financing. Many conventional loan processes take weeks or longer to finalize.
Meanwhile:
-
Nearly 60% of small businesses report recurring cash flow challenges each year.
-
Seasonal industries operate within narrow revenue windows, often 3–6 months annually.
-
Missed contracts or inventory opportunities can impact an entire quarter’s revenue.
-
Delays in funding can disrupt payroll, supplier relationships, and operational stability.
“Speed improves outcomes,” Nationwide Advance states. “Delays compound losses.”
The “Speed with Transparency” Pledge
Nationwide Advance is committing to seven concrete behaviors designed to improve capital access:
-
Provide funding decisions within clearly defined timeframes.
-
Offer clear, upfront explanations of terms and repayment structures.
-
Evaluate revenue performance alongside credit metrics.
-
Reduce unnecessary documentation requirements.
-
Maintain responsive communication throughout the review process.
-
Educate business owners on cash flow readiness before funding.
-
Publish internal benchmarks for response and approval times.
The company emphasizes that transparency and speed must move together. “Clarity builds confidence,” the team explains. “Business owners deserve both.”
