Rhode Island — The Ocean State — is home to 105,000+ small businesses, and 99.2% of all businesses in the state are small operations just like yours. Whether you run a restaurants in Providence or a construction and renovation business in Warwick, access to fast working capital can be the difference between seizing an opportunity and watching it pass you by.

At Towns Lending, we specialize in same-day funding for Rhode Island businesses. From merchant cash advances to business lines of credit, we help Rhode Island business owners get the capital they need — often within 24 hours — without the red tape of traditional bank loans.

The Rhode Island Business Landscape

Rhode Island's jewelry manufacturing industry — once the largest in the world — still produces significant output from hundreds of small workshops.

The state's economy is driven by key industries including healthcare and biotech, defense and naval, tourism, jewelry and silverware manufacturing, and education. The Naval Station Newport and Naval Undersea Warfare Center drive billions in defense spending in the state.

Despite being the smallest state, Rhode Island has the 3rd highest population density, meaning concentrated consumer markets.
