QuickBridge Funding, LLC is a private alternative small business lender headquartered in Irvine, California, founded in 2011 and operating across the United States. The company provides short-term working capital loans ranging from $10,000 to $500,000 to small and medium-sized businesses that typically cannot qualify for traditional bank financing, with minimum eligibility set at six months in business and $250,000 in annual revenue. QuickBridge distributes its products through a sales-led model that combines a self-serve online application portal with dedicated Funding Specialists who guide applicants through underwriting and funding decisions, and augments direct origination with referral and sales partner programs in the insurance, accounting, and real estate channels. Since inception the company reports facilitating more than $1 billion in cumulative funding to over 25,000 business owners, supported by a proprietary digital lending platform that enables credit decisions and disbursements within a 24-hour window.

The company's product portfolio spans core use-case loans (working capital, short-term, emergency, bridge, payroll, and expansion financing), a bad-credit offering targeting thin-file borrowers, and nine industry-specific vertical products covering gas stations, poultry farms, architecture firms, restaurants, car washes, real estate agents, transportation, healthcare, and agriculture. Revenue is generated from interest and fees on originated loans, with early payoff discounts available; pricing is quote-based and customized to borrower risk. QuickBridge holds a California Financing Law License (603 J292), operates as a self-funded or bootstrapped LLC with no disclosed venture or private equity investment, and has earned Forbes Advisor "Best Small Business Loans" recognition in both 2024 and 2026 and a Top 3 LendingTree customer satisfaction ranking.
