    Time to Fund


As companies fight for a better market position, timing is everything. When opportunities come, do you have the capital to seize them? Whether it’s expanding your product line, entering new markets, or investing in new technology, having quick access to funds can make all the difference.

At 1West, we offer bridge loans to help you get fast access to cash during transitional periods. This will enable you to meet current obligations while securing permanent financing or settling existing debts.


A bridge loan is a short-term financing option used to provide immediate cash flow to individuals or businesses until they can secure permanent financing or pay off an existing obligation. The quick approval and funding process make bridge loans an attractive option for those needing fast access to capital.

Cover immediate expenses such as payroll, rent, utilities, and inventory costs while awaiting long-term financing or revenue.

Capitalize on time-sensitive opportunities, such as mergers and acquisitions or purchasing discounted inventory.

Manage cash flow gaps caused by delays in receiving payments from customers or insurance claims.

Finance the purchase of new equipment or inventory while waiting for other funding sources to become available.

There are signs to know if a fast bridging loan is what your business needs at the moment.

Here’s how to know if you should get fast bridge loans for your business:

  • You need immediate funds to cover short-term expenses
  • Your business needs to cover operating expenses while awaiting long-term financing
  • You have a projected cash shortfall between now and the expected close of your next funding round
  • You want flexibility in how much you raise in the next round and autonomy in selecting investors
  • You want to minimize dilution at this stage by avoiding an emergency funding round at a low valuation
  • Your startup is still pre-revenue or has minimal revenue, making it hard to qualify for traditional financing

If any of these signs apply to you, there’s no better time to bridge the gaps than now.
