FUNDING COMPANY REVIEW

Spring (SpringCash LLC) review: requirements, costs and what to check

Spring, at spring.ai and operated by SpringCash LLC in New York, sells two very different things: working capital for any US small business ("Bridge Funding") and retail-supply-chain financing for consumer brands that sell to retailers such as Walmart, Target and Costco. It also sells a $499-a-month finance software platform. Those three pieces have different rules, so this review keeps them apart.

What Spring does not publish

How applying works

  1. Answer a few questions about the business and how much you need (Spring says about six minutes in total).
  2. Give owner details (anyone who owns 25% or more) and connect the business bank read-only through Plaid, or upload statements.
  3. Complete a photo ID and selfie check.
  4. Receive an email with one of three outcomes: approved, a request for more information, or a decline. Spring says answers normally come the same day.
  5. Accept the offer. Spring says Bridge Funding can be paid the same day by real-time payment once your bank is verified.

Who it fits, and who it does not

Likely a fit

  • A consumer brand with a signed PO from a large retailer that needs the supplier paid before production. That is what Spring's PO product is built for.
  • A brand waiting 30 to 90 days for a retailer to pay invoices, which suits Spring's factoring.
  • A business that wants finance software (forecasting, retailer outreach) and financing from one company.

Probably not a fit

  • A business under $1M in annual revenue looking for PO financing. Spring itself points those businesses to factoring or Bridge.
  • An owner who does not want a bank login connected to a third party. Spring accepts uploaded statements, but the process is built around Plaid.
  • A business that only needs working capital and does not want a software subscription. Confirm first whether Bridge needs one.
