Boulevard Capital is live. Here's what Slate adds.
Boulevard Capital, powered by Pipe, pre-approves on transaction history. Slate also reads what only Boulevard sees: the calendar ahead, memberships, gift cards and staff. So the offer arrives before the cash runs short and fits the reason.
| Boulevard Capital today | Slate | |
|---|---|---|
| Sizes a business on | Boulevard transaction history | Payments plus bookings ahead, memberships, gift cards and staff |
| When an offer appears | When history qualifies | Ahead of a specific moment: the January dip, a stylist about to leave, a membership launch |
| What Boulevard sees | A pre-approved amount | Every business, the amount, the moment and why |
You don't have to choose yet. The sandbox shows, business by business, where Slate would make an offer today.
What it takes. See the value first, then choose.

What we need. Two files, business totals only.
Pull them however suits your team. Each template has the exact column names and a few example rows.
1. Your businesses
- A business ID you choose. Boulevard keeps the key from IDs to businesses.
- State or province, and country. Nothing else about who they are.
2. Monthly totals, last 12 months
- Payments volume, appointments and cancellations
- Booked ahead: revenue on the calendar for the next 30, 60 and 90 days
- Memberships and gift cards: membership revenue, gift cards sold and redeemed, staff on the books
- Open Boulevard's sandbox. It moves no real money.
- Go to Customers → Import → Customers and upload the businesses file.
- Then Import → Financial data for the monthly file.
Never needed: business names, emails or addresses in the sandbox, and no client or staff-level records, ever.
What comes back. Every business, by the ID you sent.
If Boulevard goes live, this is what a business sees.
An offer sized to the business's own numbers, on the schedule it already works from. The owner applies in a few minutes and is funded within 24 hours of approval. It's never offered more than its numbers support.
What Boulevard earns, and what Boulevard carries. Nothing to carry.
Boulevard earns on every advance
Every advance funded through Boulevard earns Boulevard a share. No capital, no risk and no operations on Boulevard's side. Your sandbox results show what that looks like across your businesses.
Slate carries everything else
- The capital, from Slate's balance sheet. Boulevard has no credit exposure.
- Underwriting, servicing and collections, with remittance by scheduled bank debit.
- Compliance: identity and business checks happen when an owner applies.
- Your businesses stay yours. Slate never markets to them outside Boulevard.
