Lending Solutions at Any Stage of Your Business1

It’s not just the full range of financial products we offer that make us unique, but rather it’s the way we custom-tailor technology finance solutions to your unique situation that make Bridge Bank different than any other financial resource. Whether you need venture debt, a new revolving line of credit or an asset-based lending solution, we have the capacity and tools to make it happen. It’s all part of our commitment to building relationships that go way beyond financial transactions.

  • Venture Debt: For venture backed companies our venture debt term loans can help extend the runway prior to raising the next round of equity capital. Providing the dual benefit of reduced dilution and the potential to achieve greater step-ups in valuation between equity rounds.
  • Recurring Revenue Lines of Credit: As your business grows, establishing a flexible revolving line of credit based on a multiple of monthly recurring revenue can supplement your working capital needs.
  • Growth Capital: When it comes to time to expand operations, enter new markets, obtain equipment financing or finance an acquisition, we work with you to determine the right solution to secure the needed growth capital allowing you to continue to grow.
  • Asset-Based Lending: Our asset-based lending solutions leverage accounts receivable or inventory to provide you with the financing to meet your working capital requirements.
  • Commercial Credit Cards: No matter the stage of your company, we can work with you to issue individual corporate credit cards allowing for effective control of corporate purchases, travel and entertainment expenses.

Be Bold, Venture Wisely

As Front grew, it sought a bank that could match the company’s ambitious pace. The company considered a number of banks, but Bridge Bank, with its deep tech sector expertise and the strong backing of Western Alliance Bank, fit the bill. “Bridge Bank’s technical experience and general understanding of the SaaS industry was a differentiator — understanding, for example, that it takes time to invest in our customers, and payback comes over time.” – Jenny Decker, Chief Financial Officer, Front
