About this program

Everything you need to know about restaurant loans in Albuquerque.

Restaurants are the toughest credit in commercial lending — and the program we know best. Vanward Financial funds Albuquerque restaurants, food trucks, breweries, and franchise concepts using a stack of programs purpose-built for hospitality: revenue-based working capital, equipment financing, SBA 7(a) for acquisitions and build-outs, and short-term bridges for slow seasons. We know which lenders fund New Mexico-style independents, which ones love QSR franchises, and which ones still ghost restaurant files in 2026. Whether you're opening on Central, expanding from one location to three, or just need $40K to make payroll through January, we'll match you to capital that fits the restaurant business — not bank-grade paperwork built for office buildings.

Revenue-based loans for fast restaurant capital

Most restaurant working capital files close in 24–72 hours using revenue-based loans or MCAs. Underwriting is built around your last 3–6 months of bank deposits and card volume, not tax returns or P&Ls — so even a slow Q1 doesn't kill the deal.

SBA 7(a) for restaurant acquisitions and build-outs

Buying an existing restaurant or building a second location? SBA 7(a) covers 90% of project cost with 10-year terms (25 for real estate). We package your file through SBA Preferred Lenders who actively fund hospitality and have appetite for New Mexico independents.

Equipment financing for kitchens and walk-ins

Finance hoods, walk-ins, espresso machines, POS, ovens, and full kitchen build-outs with 100% equipment loans up to 7-year terms. Used equipment qualifies, and approvals typically come back in 24–48 hours.
