Pool service is recurring revenue with seasonal swings and route-based growth. Pool service funding covers vehicles, equipment and route acquisition so you can add customers and ride out the off-season.
What pool service business owners fund
- Service vehicles — trucks and vans to add routes
- Equipment — pumps, cleaners, testing and repair tools
- Chemicals & supplies — stock up for the season
- Route acquisition — buy an existing pool route
Buying a route? Acquisition financing lets you buy recurring customers now and pay from the very revenue they generate.

Frequently asked questions
