The Engine Behind
Business Growth


Premium Merchant Funding 18 LLC is a direct lender and fintech company headquartered in New York's Financial District, engineering capital solutions for businesses nationwide.

Our Story

Built From Water Street


Located at 55 Water Street in the heart of Lower Manhattan, Premium Merchant Funding 18 LLC was founded on a single conviction: businesses deserve direct access to capital without unnecessary intermediaries.

Our name carries intention. "Water Street" speaks to the mercantile history of New York — where commerce has flowed for centuries. The "18" represents precision and calibration. Together, they define our approach: structured capital that moves like water through the modern financial system.

As a direct lender, we control the entire funding process. No brokers. No middlemen. This means faster decisions, better terms, and a transparent relationship from the first conversation to the final payment.

Our Approach

Liquid Infrastructure


We think of capital as infrastructure — invisible plumbing that keeps commerce flowing. Payment rails, processing networks, digital ledgers. Money moves through pipes you never see, and our job is to ensure that flow never stops.

Our technology platform evaluates businesses in real time, combining traditional financial analysis with modern data intelligence. The result: funding decisions that are both fast and sound.

Every product we offer is structured to align with your business rhythm. Revenue-based financing that adjusts to your cash flow. Working capital that matches your operating cycle. Equipment financing that puts growth tools in your hands without depleting reserves.
