How we underwrite

Industry-first lending decisions not generic offers.

Different industries. Same fundamentals: clear financials, a credible use-of-funds plan, and repayment logic that follows your cash-flow cycle. At Sterling Gap, we tailor our approach to your sector so the loan holds up under the daily pressures of your specific market.

What shapes the perfect loan structure?

We build the funding path around the operational drivers that actually differ by industry not a rigid bank checklist. We look at:

  • Revenue stability and how predictable cash flow is across the year.
  • Margin consistency and whether you have a buffer in slower periods.
  • Customer concentration and dependency on specific major accounts.
  • Seasonality and the specific months where costs arrive before revenue.
  • Contract lengths and payment terms (including your invoice timing).

Once those realities are clear, we model realistic options, set firm funding timelines, and avoid terms that could create operational pressure down the line.
