About Oakridge

The Oakridge Approach

Our financing lines are designed to preserve your capital by avoiding large, up front equipment expenses and to extend your cash runway; for some companies this may make the difference in achieving a cash break even point, or a higher valuation in an upcoming capital raise.

001
Our company is still early in its growth and is operating at a loss. Would we be a fit for your services?

Oakridge can help companies that are still early in their trajectory. We have no minimum requirement for revenue, net income, or operating history, but instead rely on the strength of your company’s story, your team, and your profile of existing investors.

002
What are the advantages of financing your equipment with Oakridge versus using your own capital to purchase it directly?

Oakridge can help you spread the cost of an important asset acquisition over time, allowing you to make the best use of existing cash for other important working capital needs and the growth initiatives of your business. For early stage companies whose only access to new capital may be through an additional equity raise, we can extend your cash runway between equity rounds – vital time for your business to hit that next milestone and improve your equity valuation.

003
What are the advantages of a financing line with Oakridge versus convertible debt or a conventional loan?

Oakridge provides financing lines that are exclusively debt without any equity dilution, and also without any blanket liens on your business. For an early stage company projecting exponential growth, this allows you keep your appreciating equity shares without having to take on excessive liabilities for your business. And since Oakridge’s lines are both non-dilutive and non-recourse, we work well alongside other debt and equity partners who may be part of your larger financial strategy.

004
What types of equipment are applicable for financing?

We provide financing for new or used equipment across a broad range of industries. Whether you have identified new assets for procurement or have an interest in monetizing equipment previously purchased, Oakridge is here to help.

How long is your approval process?

Oakridge has an efficient and dedicated team focused on providing quick turnaround times for your business. Our due diligence process involves a light review of financials and equipment for consideration, typically taking two weeks or less for an approved financing line.
