01 / Why theCut Capital?

Financing built around how barbers actually get paid.

Automatic approvals

If your business is eligible, you'll automatically receive an invitation to review available financing offers, no manual application needed to get started.

Fast access to funds

If approved, funds are typically deposited into your bank account within one to two business days.

One flat fee

Know your financing cost upfront with one flat fee. No compounding interest and no late fees.

Pay as you earn

Repayment is automated by deducting a fixed percentage of your sales until the financing is repaid.

02 / Eligibility

Who is eligible?

Eligibility for theCut Capital is determined by Stripe and its financing partners through an automated review process. Offers are not available by application and cannot be manually requested.

Stripe evaluates a variety of factors when determining eligibility, including your payment processing history through Mobile Pay, processing volume, business growth, customer base, and other account health signals. Eligible businesses receive an offer by email and within their Stripe/theCut Capital experience.

Stripe

Haven't received an offer yet?

Stripe continuously reviews eligible businesses, and if you qualify in the future, you'll automatically receive an offer. Processing Mobile Pay transactions will strengthen your transaction history and increase likelihood of financing. However, it does not guarantee eligibility or a future offer.

05 / Grow your odds

Increase your chances of receiving an offer

While eligibility is determined entirely by Stripe, building a healthy payment history through Mobile Pay helps Stripe better understand your business over time.

Factors that may contribute to future eligibility

Consistent Mobile Pay processing

Regularly running payments through Mobile Pay builds a steady transaction history.

Healthy payment volume

Growing, reliable processing volume helps Stripe understand the size of your business.

Strong account health

Few disputes, low refund activity, and up-to-date account information all signal a healthy business.

Meeting these factors does not guarantee a future financing offer. Stripe evaluates eligibility using multiple signals and reviews businesses on an ongoing basis.
