Cash flow is the oxygen of every business — and for TN visa holders who have built profitable companies but struggle with timing mismatches between expenses and receipts, Bankable's cash flow bridge capital is the solution. You can be running a genuinely profitable business and still face payroll gaps, supplier deadlines, and tax obligations when clients pay on 30-60-90 day terms.
What Causes Cash Flow Gaps for TN Businesses
The most common cash flow gap scenarios for TN-owned businesses: Accounts receivable timing: You've invoiced $200K but clients won't pay for 45 days. Meanwhile, payroll is due in 5 days. Seasonal revenue dips: A landscaping, construction, or tourism business has lean months that don't align with fixed expenses. Rapid growth: You've won new contracts that require upfront costs (staffing, materials) before the revenue arrives. Unexpected expenses: Equipment breakdown, lease renewal, or regulatory compliance cost hits when cash is tight.
In all these scenarios, Bankable's bridge capital provides immediate liquidity while your business's underlying economics remain strong.
How Bridge Capital Works for TN Holders
Bankable advances cash against your verified business revenue. The advance is repaid through a fixed percentage of your daily business deposits — typically 10-20% — until the advance plus fee is retired. For businesses with predictable cash flow cycles (monthly contracts, quarterly receivables), Bankable can set up a revolving bridge facility that you draw from as needed and repay automatically.

The SBA Working Capital Line Gap for TN Holders
SBA-backed working capital lines of credit — which provided revolving cash flow support at prime-based interest rates — are no longer available to TN holders as of March 2026. Bankable's revolving bridge facilities fill this role with comparable flexibility and faster access.

Bridge Capital for TN Holders with Government Contracts
TN holders who win federal or state government contracts often face the starkest receivables gaps — government clients sometimes take 90-120 days to pay. Bankable funds bridge capital against government purchase orders and contract awards, allowing TN contractors to mobilize without waiting for payment.
Proactive vs. Reactive Bridge Capital
The most financially disciplined TN business owners establish their Bankable bridge facility before they need it. A revolving facility that you've pre-qualified for and can draw from within 48 hours is worth far more than scrambling for emergency capital when payroll is three days away. Bankable recommends checking your Bankability Score quarterly to ensure your facility size grows with your revenue.
