AFS funds merchants in the retail, hospitality and service industries including restaurants, salons, florists, auto repair shops and many other business types. Merchants have used the $100M in collective capital to grow their businesses through expansions, repairs, inventory and strategic marketing initiatives.

Using its 20-point algorithm, AFS creates custom-tailored, low-risk funding programs for each merchant that fit the needs and bandwidth of their business.
