Running a daycare business in Everett means juggling Department of Children, Youth, and Families compliance, payroll for early childhood educators, and the seasonal enrollment dips that hit every January after the holiday break. You need capital that doesn't evaporate your operating cushion. Daycare business loans structured through SBA 7(a) programs deliver 10- to 25-year amortizations, so your monthly outlay stays manageable even when three families pause enrollment because Boeing shifts schedules or a tech layoff ripples through Mill Creek and Silver Firs households.
Aspen Funding Group works with childcare operators from Marysville to Mukilteo, matching your enrollment model, whether you run a licensed home daycare on a quiet Snohomish street or a 60-child center near the Everett Mall, with the right financing structure. We know lenders who understand that tuition receivables aren't invoices you can factor, and that your biggest asset is often leasehold improvements you can't repossess.
Loan programs

Because the guarantee reduces lender risk, you can finance a business loan for daycare center expansion with as little as 10 percent down, leaving cash free for payroll and emergency repairs.

Learn moreA licensed provider in Lake Stevens wanted to add an infant room, new sinks, diaper stations, separated nap space, to capture the waitlist she'd been turning away. The $85,000 project required plumbing and finishes that met DCYF standards. We arranged an SBA 7(a) loan with a 20-year term, keeping her payment under $550 monthly so tuition revenue could cover it from day one. She opened the infant room in April, filled six slots by June, and never touched her emergency fund.
