Why daycares work directly with Logic Advance
A direct funding partner, not a middleman
You deal directly with the Logic Advance team — the people who review your application and stand behind your funding. No being passed down the line to someone who doesn’t know childcare. If you’ve been bounced between banks and brokers, that ends today.
We understand how centers actually get paid
Tuition cycles, subsidy payments, and enrollment seasons don’t fit a bank’s template. We fund around a center’s real cash flow — the families you serve and the revenue on its way.
Decisions in as little as 4 hours
A short application, a fast review, and funding as fast as same day. Simple, seamless, and built around your center — not a grant committee’s calendar.
Three simple steps to funding
Step 1: Tell us what you need
A short application that takes minutes — no obligation, no endless paperwork. Just tell us about your business and what you’re planning.
Step 2: Get your decision fast
Our team reviews your application and you can have a decision in as little as 4 hours. You’ll know exactly what you qualify for before you need it.
Step 3: Get funded and get back to business
Funding as fast as same day — then it’s back to the children, with new classrooms ready, your teachers paid, and your waitlist moving.
Compare daycare financing options
| Option | How it works |
|---|---|
| Equipment financing | An equipment financing option can suit playground structures, classroom furniture, and security systems. |
| Business line of credit | A business line of credit may help smooth enrollment-season gaps, subject to available credit and account terms. |
| Term funding | A term funding option may fit a defined expansion such as a second center. |
| Merchant cash advance | A merchant cash advance is a different funding structure based on future receivables — it funds your center’s operations. |
Compare total cost, payment collection, and timing against your tuition cycle before deciding. The products available to your center depend on review.
Build a practical classroom budget
Illustration: $35,000 for classroom furniture, $30,000 for a playground, $20,000 for staff bonuses, and a $15,000 operating reserve total $100,000. If the center can contribute $25,000 without using essential operating cash, the remaining planning gap is $75,000 before financing fees or other costs. This is a budgeting example, not an offer.
Confirm what can be financed and what must be paid upfront. Keep enrollment and tuition-revenue records organized so underwriting can see the revenue behind the request.
Starting requirements and documents
Logic’s published guidelines start at $25,000 in monthly business revenue. MCA and line-of-credit guidelines start at six months in business; equipment and term-funding guidelines start at one year. Credit requirements and additional conditions differ by product. Meeting a minimum does not guarantee approval.
Prepare a signed application and four recent, complete business bank statements.
List current funding or advances, remaining balances, and payment schedules.
Explain the amount requested, its business purpose, and your desired timing.
Have identification, ownership details, and any additional records ready when requested through the approved channel.
Review the current product requirements and our bank statement preparation guide.
Prepare the details behind your request
For equipment requests, keep the vendor quote and any installation estimates available. For an expansion, prepare a buildout schedule and a plan for revenue during construction.
Compare the offer, not just the payment
Request the net amount your business will receive, total payment or remittance obligation, all fees, payment frequency, and expected duration. Review liens, guarantees, early-payment treatment, and any reconciliation provisions. A factor rate on an MCA is not APR.
Use our side-by-side funding offer guide and daily versus weekly payment guide to organize the details before deciding.

Questions business owners ask
Why choose direct funding over childcare grants?
Grants can take months to decide, come with heavy restrictions, and may never arrive. Direct funding gives you a decision in as little as 4 hours and funding as fast as same day — no grant bureaucracy, no waiting lists, no maybes.
Can a new daycare or home-based childcare get working capital?
The published programs require operating history and monthly revenue. A center that meets the revenue guidelines can apply; discuss your situation — including home-based operations — with the team when you apply.
What can a daycare use funding for?
Common uses include classrooms and learning materials, playgrounds and safety upgrades, teacher payroll and retention, and new locations or additional rooms.
How fast can a daycare get funded?
With a complete application, centers can get a decision in as little as 4 hours and funding as fast as same day. Apply directly to Logic Advance — no obligation.
What documents does a daycare need to apply?
Prepare a signed application and four recent, complete business bank statements. Additional records, identification, and ownership information may be requested.
Do you fund centers with subsidy or voucher revenue?
Underwriting looks at the center’s overall revenue — including subsidy and voucher payments — and bank activity. Discuss your revenue mix with the team when you apply.
How does a cash advance fit a daycare’s tuition cycle?
A merchant cash advance is structured around future receivables rather than a credit line, with its own cost and collection structure. Compare total cost, payment timing, and flexibility against your tuition cycle before deciding.

Where can I search for daycare grant opportunities?
Start with grants.gov and your state's childcare resource and referral agency — many states run grant programs for childcare providers. Be aware that grants are highly competitive, involve lengthy applications, and can take months to award. If timing matters, compare grant timelines against direct funding, which can deliver a decision in as little as 4 hours.
Grants vs. financing for daycare: what are the key differences?
Grants don't require repayment but are competitive, slow, and often restricted to specific uses. Financing provides faster access with repayment structured around your cash flow. Many providers pursue both — grants for long-term projects, financing for immediate needs like staffing, supplies, or enrollment-driven expansion.
What are the benefits of daycare grants?
The main benefit is clear: grant money doesn't have to be repaid. Grants can fund facility improvements, curriculum development, and capacity expansion. The tradeoff is time — applications are detailed, competition is stiff, and awards can take many months. Plan grant applications around your long-term calendar, not urgent cash needs.
These pages explain funding considerations and starting guidelines, not a funding offer. Product availability, amounts, costs, security requirements, and timing depend on the specific program and your business.
