FAQ
Questions, Answered
How fast can I get funded?
Most working capital and line-of-credit programs fund within 24–72 hours of approval. SBA loans typically close in 30–45 days.
What credit score do I need?
We work with credit profiles starting around 580 FICO for many short-term programs, and 680+ for SBA loans. Business cash flow matters more than score.
Will applying hurt my credit?
No. We use a soft credit pull to pre-qualify. Your personal credit score is not affected during the application process.
How much can my business borrow?
From $10,000 to $5 million depending on program, revenue, and time in business. Most Seattle clients qualify for $50K–$500K.
What documents do you need?
Typically 3–6 months of business bank statements, a basic application, and a voided check. SBA programs require additional documentation.
Do you work with new businesses?
Yes. We have startup-friendly programs requiring as little as 3 months in business, plus SBA microloans for newer companies.
