IT services & MSP financing — keep every client environment running
Loot offers IT service providers and managed service providers an unsecured business line of credit from $5,000 to $100,000. Use it to cover hardware, software licensing, and technician payroll, or give your business the room to onboard a new contract without draining the cash needed to support existing clients. Established IT services businesses and MSPs with 1+ year in business and $200K+ in annual revenue can check their options with a soft pull. Requests up to $30K get an instant decision, while larger requests may take a few more minutes.


IT services & MSP challenges: hardware costs, licensing renewals, and billing lag
MSPs and IT service providers often need to buy servers, workstations, and networking gear, or prepay annual software licenses, well before a new client contract starts generating monthly recurring revenue. Technicians and engineers still need to be paid on schedule whether a client is billed monthly, quarterly, or on a project basis. When a new contract, a hardware refresh, and a licensing renewal all land in the same month, cash flow can tighten fast.

Where an IT services & MSP line of credit does the heavy lifting
Six moments when IT services cash flow needs backup — and how a Loot line of credit can help.
Procure hardware before a new client contract begins
Onboarding a new client can mean buying servers, firewalls, workstations, or networking equipment before the managed services agreement generates its first invoice. A line of credit can help cover the hardware order without pulling cash from accounts already under contract.
Prepay annual software licensing and vendor renewals
Security, backup, and RMM platforms often bill annually or require upfront commitments, even when the MSP bills clients monthly. A line of credit can help cover the licensing cost while the recurring revenue catches up over the following months.
Cover payroll for technicians and engineers
Technicians, help desk staff, and field engineers need to be paid on schedule whether a client is billed monthly, per-project, or per-ticket. A short-term draw can help cover payroll without pulling cash from equipment or licensing budgets.
Ramp up for a new managed services contract
Winning a new account can mean hiring additional technicians, buying monitoring tools, and standing up new client environments in the first 30 days, well before the contract is billable. A line of credit can give an MSP the working capital to mobilize fast.
Respond to an emergency infrastructure failure
A server failure, ransomware incident, or network outage at a client site can require immediate hardware replacement or emergency contractor support before the client invoice for the incident is even written up. A line of credit can help cover the response without delaying the fix.
Fund growth into a new service line or market
Adding cybersecurity services, cloud migration capabilities, or expanding into a new geographic market takes upfront investment in tools, certifications, and staff. A line of credit can help fund the expansion while keeping current client environments fully supported.
How an IT services & MSP line of credit helps
A business line of credit for IT service providers and MSPs provides flexible capital for hardware, licensing, and payroll. Draw loot when needed, repay as recurring revenue and invoices come in, and keep every client environment running.

How a Loot line of credit works for an IT services or MSP business
Say your business needs $19,000 to procure servers and networking equipment for a new managed services client, plus cover technician payroll, before the first monthly invoice is billed. With Loot, you can draw $19,000 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 recurring revenue from the new contract ramps up sooner 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.
