Courier and last-mile delivery challenges: vehicle costs, driver payroll, and new contract ramp-up
Same-day and next-day delivery services pay for vehicles, driver payroll, fuel, and insurance every week, whether they're running parcels, food, or medical deliveries. Landing a new retail or business client can mean adding drivers and vehicles fast, often weeks before that client sends its first payment.

Where a courier and last-mile delivery line of credit does the heavy lifting
Six moments when local delivery cash flow needs backup — and how a Loot line of credit can help.
Ramp up for a new retail or business delivery contract
Winning a new same-day or next-day delivery contract can mean adding drivers and vehicles before that client sends its first payment. A line of credit can give the business the working capital to staff up and start delivering without waiting on the contract to become cash-flow positive.
Cover driver payroll between payment cycles
Delivery drivers need to be paid on schedule, whether they're running parcels, restaurant orders, or medical courier routes. A short-term draw can help keep payroll on time even when client payments land on their own cycle.
Keep vehicles fueled and on the road
Fuel is a daily cost for any last-mile delivery fleet, and it doesn't wait on a client's payment cycle. A line of credit can help keep vehicles fueled and routes running without pulling cash away from payroll.
Handle vehicle repairs and replacements
A van, box truck, or car going down can take a route out of service fast. A line of credit can help cover a repair or a rush replacement so one vehicle down doesn't turn into missed deliveries.
Cover commercial auto insurance and licensing
Commercial auto insurance, delivery permits, and driver licensing costs can land all at once, especially when adding vehicles for a new contract. A line of credit can help cover these costs without slowing down onboarding.
Bridge seasonal delivery demand spikes
Food delivery, parcel, and courier volume can spike around holidays or peak shopping seasons, then taper off. A line of credit can help a delivery business staff up for a surge without waiting on that season's invoices to clear first.

How a Loot line of credit works for a courier or last-mile delivery business
Say your delivery business needs $18,000 to add two drivers and a van for a new retail client, weeks before that client's first payment arrives. With Loot, you can draw $18,000 from your approved line.
Before you confirm, you choose a fixed weekly repayment plan upfront, such as 16, 20, or 24 weeks. You see the total cost before you move forward.
If the new contract ramps up faster than expected and you pay the draw off early, there is no prepayment penalty. Paying off early can save up to 50% of remaining fees.
As you repay, your line revolves — the funds become available again as you pay down the draw. Same-day approval is standard, decisions happen in minutes, and once approved, same-day funding is available for a $49 transfer fee.
