What we publish about a funded deal is limited on purpose: the kind of business, where it is, how much it received, when, and how long it took. Names, lenders, rates, payment schedules and anything that would identify the owner stay private. Thirty-one of these deals are listed on our funded deals page, and the aggregate numbers behind them are in our funding statistics.
Why a File Like This Gets Placed
Gyms are underwritten on membership recurring revenue, which lenders like, and on the lease. Equipment and expansion are the usual uses, and membership counts matter more than any single month of deposits.
A funding that took several weeks usually means a larger or more documented product, a lender that wanted tax returns or financials beyond bank statements, or an owner who paused to compare options. That is not a problem; it is the trade-off for better pricing or a larger amount. Across the deals we funded between October 2024 and October 2026 the median was four days, but the files that took longer were often the ones that priced best.
What a Similar Fitness Business Should Expect
- Six or more months in business; twelve months opens most programs and better pricing
- $10,000 or more a month in business deposits; $20,000 or more for amounts like this one
- Three months of business bank statements, a voided check and a government ID; tax returns for larger or longer-term products
- Few negative days and no recent NSFs; existing advances disclosed up front
- An amount sized to the deposits: most fast products fund 50% to 150% of monthly sales

Common Questions
Is this a real deal?
Yes. It comes from RAN Funding’s application records. We publish the business type, location, amount, month and time to fund, and nothing that would identify the owner or the lender.
Was this an SBA loan?
We do not publish the product or the lender on individual deals. Timelines of a few weeks can be a term loan or an equipment loan with fuller documentation; SBA files usually take longer still.
Can my business get the same amount?
Amounts are sized to deposits, time in business, credit and existing balances. A business with similar numbers in a similar industry would be presented to the same kinds of lenders; the offer depends on its own statements.
Does RAN Funding lend the money?
No. RAN Funding is a business financing broker. The lender in our network funds the deal and pays us when it closes.
