What is HoneyBook Capital?

HoneyBook Capital is a streamlined funding solution that offers business owners quick access to working capital. Instead of complex repayment terms or compounding interest, you’ll pay a single fixed fee, clearly disclosed before you accept the loan. There are no late fees, no prepayment penalties, and no hidden costs.

Once approved, funds can land in your account as early as the next business day. This lets you immediately reinvest in your business—whether that means purchasing equipment, hiring talent, or managing short-term cash flow needs.

HoneyBook Capital loans are issued by First Internet Bank of Indiana, Member FDIC, and serviced by Jaris Lending, LLC. Eligibility is based on your sales history and is currently limited to select HoneyBook users who process payments through the platform.


What you can use a HoneyBook Capital loan for

HoneyBook Capital is intended for business and commercial use only. Eligible uses include:

  • Purchasing inventory, tools, or business equipment

  • Hiring or onboarding staff or contractors

  • Opening a new location or launching a new service

  • Bridging short-term cash flow gaps

  • Investing in marketing, technology, or operational upgrades

Whether you’re growing your team or optimizing your services, HoneyBook Capital is built to help you move your business forward quickly and confidently.


How HoneyBook Capital loans work

Getting and using a HoneyBook Capital loan is fast and straightforward. Here’s how it works from start to finish:

  1. Receive a custom loan offer

    If you’re eligible, you’ll see a pre-approved offer in your HoneyBook Capital dashboard when you select Finance > Capital from the navigation menu on the HoneyBook desktop site. Pre-qualification is based on your business activity and sales history. Offers are subject to a credit review and don’t guarantee approval requirements.

  2. Select your amount and apply

    Choose the amount you want—up to your maximum offer—and complete the short application. HoneyBook will pre-fill as much information as possible to speed up the process.

  3. Accent the terms

    Once your loan is approved, you’ll receive a full breakdown: the loan amount, fixed fee, repayment percentage, and estimated repayment timeline. Review and accept to activate your funding.

  4. Get funded fast

    Funds are typically deposited within 1–2 business days of approval, and often as soon as the next business day.

  5. Repay automatically

    Starting the day you receive your funds, a fixed percentage of your incoming HoneyBook payments will be deducted and applied to your loan balance. There’s no need to set reminders or track due dates. You can also make manual payments or pay off the loan early—with zero prepayment fees.


    Most loans are repaid within 9 months, based on average sales volume. Need more time? Repayment can extend up to 18 months, with any remaining balance collected via ACH.

Benefits of fixed-fee funding vs. traditional loans

One of the biggest advantages of HoneyBook Capital is its fixed-fee model, which removes the uncertainty of traditional financing. Here's how it compares:

Loan terms example

  • Loan amount: $2,000

  • Fixed fee: $300

  • Total owed: $2,300 (flat—no additional interest or charges)

Your fixed fee is calculated based on your repayment percentage, loan amount, and sales history. Everything is disclosed upfront in your loan terms, so there are no surprises.


New loan offer timing after final payment

Once you've made your final loan payment, it can take up to 5 business days for the payment to fully process and for your loan to be officially marked as paid off. If you're eligible for another loan, a new pre-offer will appear in your HoneyBook Capital dashboard after that processing window.

If more than 5 business days have passed and no offer appears, it means you're not currently eligible for a new loan. Eligibility is dynamic and based on several factors, including your sales history and transaction volume.

To increase your chances of receiving a future offer—and potentially a higher one—continue processing payments through HoneyBook. The more you transact, the stronger your loan eligibility becomes over time.
