Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of businesses do you work with?

We serve a wide range of industries including manufacturing, healthcare, technology, construction, professional services, retail, and more. If you operate a legitimate business with revenue history, we likely have a solution for you.

How quickly can I receive funding?

Timelines vary by product. Lines of credit and term loans can fund in as little as 5-10 business days. SBA loans typically take 30-60 days due to the federal guarantee process. We work to fast-track every application.

What documents do I need to apply?

Generally, we request recent tax returns, bank statements, a current profit and loss statement, a balance sheet, and a brief business summary. Our team will guide you through the complete requirements based on your specific product.

Do you require collateral?

Collateral requirements depend on the loan type and amount. Equipment financing uses the equipment itself as security. Some unsecured options are available for qualified borrowers. We discuss all requirements upfront with full transparency.

Is there a minimum credit score requirement?

While credit history is one factor in our evaluation, we take a holistic view of your business health. Revenue trends, industry position, and growth potential all play important roles. We encourage you to apply even if your credit is not perfect.
