AR Financing for Uptown businesses
Uptown sits inside one of Minneapolis's working commercial districts. A retail, office and restaurant district around Hennepin Avenue and Lake Street in south Minneapolis, supporting cleaning, security and staffing vendors that invoice property managers and operators rather than collecting immediately. We fund companies there with accounts receivable financing, typically 24–48 hours after approval.
Minnesota's wider economy runs on medical devices, food companies and distribution, and Uptown feeds into that supply chain. Approval here rests on your customers' credit rather than your own balance sheet, so younger companies in Minneapolis qualify alongside established ones.
Everything is handled online and by phone — there's no branch to visit in Uptown, and no requirement to pledge real estate. Facilities run from $25,000 to $25 million and grow as your invoicing grows.
How it works in Uptown
