Banks are required to be quite strict with numbers and treat every situation the same. We work with a larger group of financing options, private funding, and investment groups, which offer more options and flexibility for financing. We can offer competitive rates, even for less than perfect credit, and can typically find financing for unique situations where banks would typically decline.
The Small Business Administration (sba.gov) backs loans for small businesses, relieving the majority of the risk from the lender if the loan was to default. They require a business plan and pay-back plan which is reviewed by the SBA and approved or denied. SBA loans can be granted with past credit issues, and it is best to be upfront with anything which may affect their decision, as they are one of the few loans where your story can help your chances of successfully being granted the loan.
We can fund many deals in just a few days. Certain funding options can be as soon as the next business day. This answer differs by type of funding required as well as credit and background verification results.
Typically, funds are direct deposited from the lender, though other options may be available upon request.
When you are shopping for loans, it no longer negatively affects your credit to have multiple inquiries of the same type in a short amount of time; they are typically treated as one inquiry, so it’s always worth a shot. We do have more flexibility, options, and private lenders who allow a wider range of higher risk funding. We suggest you call us to discuss your options and needs prior to applying.
We suggest creditkarma.com to review and monitor your personal credit for free. It’s always good to know your FICO score prior to applying for any loans. Loans and other funding are based on scores from various credit bureaus, so to be most informed, you should requests a report from each of the 3 major credit bureaus. When talking to our loan coordinators, give them an idea of your credit score up front, so they can match you to likely loan options and rates.
Not just to improve your chances, but to get lower rates, prior to applying for a loan, you should request your personal and business credit history. Review the reports for accuracy, and try to have any questionable or inaccurate things removed. Having a new or revised business plan, which includes answering the question of how will you pay back a loan; this may be requested by a lender, but is important for you to understand as well. Having good financial recordings, positive balances, and no late payments for the last 3 months is also very important.
