What Is a Toast Capital Loan?

Toast Capital connects eligible Toast customers with access to funding to meet their needs and fuel their growth. Toast Capital Loans have one transparent, fixed loan fee - no compounding interest or hidden fees. There is also no personal guarantee, no minimum credit score, and no credit score impact.

The application takes just minutes, and, once approved, the funds are deposited as soon as the next business day after signing your credit agreement, giving you access to funding when you need it.

Toast Capital Loan Basics

Toast Capital Loans are designed to be simple, providing access to fast and flexible funding to power your business.

Toast Capital Loan Eligibility

  • Toast Capital Loan eligibility is based on a variety of factors. Some of those factors include but are not limited to your processing volume (if applicable), time on Toast, and status of any bankruptcy filings.

  • Toast Capital Loan eligibility is evaluated regularly. Visit our Toast Capital: Loan Eligibility to learn more.

Toast Capital Loan Funding

  • Upon signing your credit agreement, funds will be disbursed to your bank account as soon as the next business day after signing your credit agreement.

  • Funds will be deposited into a verified bank account on file with Toast, Inc. where you receive your deposits. If you need to change your bank account on file, make any updates before you start your Toast Capital Loan application. Visit Update Your Bank Account to learn more.

Toast Capital Loan Repayments

  • Toast Capital Loans offer different target repayment terms ranging from 90 days to 360 days, depending on eligibility. Visit Toast Capital: Target Repayment Periods to learn more.

  • Loan repayments are automated as a fixed percentage of daily card sales processed through Toast (including any tips, taxes, service charges, etc.). This means repayment flexes with your sales volume so when sales are slower, you will repay less than on busy days.2

  • Your automated daily repayments will begin four business days after your funds are sent to your bank account.

Customizing Your Pre-qualified Offer for a Toast Capital Loan

If your business has a pre-qualified offer for a Toast Capital Loan, you have the ability to customize this offer to be just right for your needs!

Wondering what the terms in your Toast Capital Dashboard mean, as well as some terms you might come across in your Toast Capital Credit Agreement? Let’s walk through an example.

Note: These terms are an example of a pre-qualified offer and are not representative of an actual Toast Capital Loan.

Start by entering your desired loan amount. You can also use the slider to see how the target terms and details change depending on the dollar amount you select.

Then, you can select the percentage of daily card transactions you prefer to repay your loan with — this is based on the target term of the loan. Let’s take a look at loan details that show up for each target term:

  • % of daily transactions: the fixed percentage of daily card sales (including taxes, tips, etc.) that will be held back and applied toward repayment of the loan. This “holdback” percentage is determined based on your business’ projected sales, total repayment amount, and target term selected.

  • Estimated $ daily: a simple average that assumes equal payments every day during the repayment term. Actual daily payments for Toast Capital Loans are based on a fixed percentage of daily card transactions processed through Toast and may vary from estimated amounts.

  • Target term: the expected timeframe for your loan to be repaid.†,††

  • Fixed fee*: the fixed loan fee* for your selected dollar amount and target term. The fixed fee is repaid over the target term of the loan. There are no compounding interest payments, application fees, or late fees. Smaller dollar amounts result in smaller fixed fees. Similarly, shorter target terms will have smaller fixed fees than longer target terms, assuming the same loan amount.

  • Total repayment amount: the total amount of your loan and fixed fee to be repaid.


Once you’re ready, select Apply to continue the self-guided application process.
