Pickleball is the fastest-growing sport in Virginia and across America — Northern Virginia and the Tidewater both have huge pickleball communities — dedicated clubs are packed year-round. The Broker Shop is a proud 2026 sponsor of the Association of Pickleball Players Tour, the pro circuit putting world-class pickleball in front of the same small business communities we fund every day. From Virginia Beach to Richmond, we invest in the leagues, players, and communities where our customers live and work.
From Virginia Beach to Norfolk, we work with small business owners across Virginia's most active industries: defense and government, tech, agriculture, tourism, and shipbuilding. Whether you're a restaurant in Virginia Beach, a contractor working multiple counties, or an online business shipping out of a Chesapeake warehouse, you're matched to the funders most likely to fund your exact situation.
We fund every county and zip code in Virginia. The cities above are where most of our recent files have come from, but small businesses anywhere in the state can pre-qualify in 2 minutes with a quick application.
Virginia's economy runs on these sectors, and each one has its own seasonal cash-flow rhythm and capital needs. Restaurants in Virginia Beach face different funding pressures than tech operators in Norfolk. We route every Virginia file to specialty funders who underwrite that specific industry.
Local banks in Virginia have tightened underwriting. Owners in Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, and across the state are hearing "no" on the same files that funded easily three years ago. That is not a Virginia problem; it is a national banking shift. The Broker Shop exists to fill the gap.
We match Virginia businesses to the funders whose guidelines they meet — banks that have not pulled back, alternative funders who specialize in your industry, and specialty funders for newer businesses or owners with credit challenges. One application. Offers in 24 hours. Funded in 24-72 hours for most products. No application fees, no broker fees, $0 cost to you.

Merchant Cash Advances, Business Term Loans, Lines of Credit, SBA Loans, Equipment Financing, Invoice Factoring, and Revenue-Based Financing.
Virginia's sales-based financing disclosure law is HB 1027, codified at Va. Code §§ 6.2-2228 through 6.2-2238 and effective November 1, 2022. Before funding a merchant cash advance or revenue-share deal for a Virginia business, the provider must hand you a written disclosure showing the estimated APR, the total cost of the financing, the average monthly payment and the prepayment policy.
The word “estimated” on that APR is doing real work, and it is not a hedge. A sales-based advance is repaid as a percentage of your revenue, so the payoff date moves with your sales. Strong months retire the balance faster and raise the effective annualized cost; slow months stretch it out and lower it. No one can state an exact APR in advance on a product whose timeline you control, which is why Virginia asks for an estimate rather than the calculated figure California and New York require.
For an owner comparing offers, the disclosure is the most useful piece of paper in the file. It puts every Virginia sales-based offer into the same four fields, so you can lay two term sheets side by side instead of trying to translate one funder's factor rate against another's daily debit. Use the total cost and the average monthly payment as your primary comparison, and treat the estimated APR as a sanity check rather than the headline. Our guide to state commercial financing disclosure laws covers how Virginia's version compares with the other ten states that now have one.
Both the provider and the broker. Virginia is one of only a few states that requires the broker arranging a sales-based financing deal to register with the State Corporation Commission, not just the funder putting up the money. Before you sign anything, you can ask any provider or broker for its registration and verify it with the SCC directly.
That distinction matters more than it sounds. A disclosure-only law tells you what an offer costs. A registration law also tells you who you are dealing with, because there is a regulator holding a list. Virginia, Utah and Texas all require providers to register; Virginia and Texas extend it to brokers. New York and Louisiana went the other way and require the numbers without standing up a registry behind the transaction.
The practical move for a Virginia owner is the same either way: ask for the registration number in writing and confirm it with the State Corporation Commission itself rather than accepting a claim made in an email or on a website. It takes a few minutes and it is the cheapest due diligence available to you.
Virginia's statute reaches sales-based financing only: merchant cash advances and revenue-share products where repayment tracks a percentage of your sales. A conventional fixed-payment term loan, a line of credit or an equipment loan generally sits outside HB 1027, so you will not automatically receive the same state-mandated disclosure on those offers.
Virginia took a narrower and deeper approach than California, which wrote its law around commercial financing as a broad category with a dollar cap. Virginia set no dollar cap and instead aimed the statute at a product type. Texas and Louisiana structured theirs the same way. The result is that a Virginia owner shopping a merchant cash advance gets a standardized disclosure, while the same owner shopping a business term loan is relying on the funder's own paperwork.
When a product falls outside the statute, ask for the same four things in writing anyway: the total amount you will repay, the payment amount and frequency, every fee including origination and any ACH charges, and exactly how prepayment is treated. Any funder worth working with will put those in writing without argument. If you are weighing one structure against the other, our comparison of a merchant cash advance versus a business loan lays out where each one fits.

Common questions from Virginia small business owners about getting funded fast.
Virginia small businesses can apply through The Broker Shop in 2 minutes to pre-qualify. We connect you with the right funders that actively fund Virginia businesses. Once you submit your information, we match you with the best options for your revenue, time in business, and funding goal. Most Virginia clients receive same-day or next-business-day approval.
Yes. Merchant cash advances are legal in Virginia and across all 50 U.S. states. MCAs are structured as the purchase of future receivables — not as loans — so they operate outside traditional state usury laws. The Broker Shop works with licensed, compliant funding partners who serve Virginia businesses following all applicable federal and state regulations.
Most of our Virginia funders focus on monthly business revenue and time in business rather than personal credit score alone. Virginia businesses with credit scores as low as 500 can qualify for merchant cash advances or revenue-based financing. A stronger credit score (650+) opens doors to business term loans, lines of credit, and SBA loans at better rates — but it's not a barrier to getting funded.
Very fast. Virginia businesses applying through The Broker Shop typically receive approval within hours and funds within 24 hours of signing. Same-day funding is common for merchant cash advances and revenue-based financing. SBA loans take longer (1–3 weeks), but we'll be upfront about timelines for every product. We've funded Virginia businesses for payroll, inventory, equipment, and emergency expenses — often within a single business day.
We fund Virginia businesses across virtually every industry: restaurants, retail, contractors, healthcare providers, trucking companies, auto repair shops, salons, e-commerce sellers, and more. The minimum requirements are typically 6 months in business and $10,000+ in monthly revenue. Startups under 6 months old may qualify for equipment financing or SBA microloans — ask us about your options.
No. Our service is completely free to Virginia business owners. We're compensated by the funder when your deal closes — which means we're incentivized to find you the best deal, not just any deal. You'll never receive a bill from us for consulting, applications, or introductions. If anyone claims to charge upfront fees to connect you with business funders, that's a red flag.
Yes. Virginia has commercial financing disclosure laws that require funders to provide standardized cost disclosures before you sign — similar to APR disclosures for consumer loans. This means you'll receive a clear breakdown of the total repayment amount, factor rate, and estimated APR before committing. The Broker Shop works exclusively with funders who comply with all Virginia disclosure requirements.
Before funding a sales-based deal such as a merchant cash advance, a Virginia provider must give you a written disclosure stating the estimated APR, the total cost of the financing, the average monthly payment and the prepayment policy. The APR is an estimate because a sales-based advance is repaid as a share of your revenue, so the payoff date moves with your sales rather than sitting on a fixed schedule.
Yes, for sales-based financing. Virginia's HB 1027 requires both the provider and any broker arranging the deal to register with the Virginia State Corporation Commission, which makes Virginia one of the few states that regulates brokers as well as funders. Ask for the registration number in writing and verify it with the SCC's Bureau of Financial Institutions directly rather than relying on a claim made in an email or on a website.
