Frequently Asked Questions

Questions business owners ask before a funding review.

What documents do lenders need for business funding?

Most lenders request bank statements, business information, owner identification, revenue details, and documents tied to the specific funding product. Traditional products may require tax returns, financial statements, debt schedules, leases, invoices, purchase orders, equipment quotes, or property documents. A complete file usually receives a cleaner review.

How fast can a business get funded?

Funding speed depends on the product, documentation, underwriting depth, and whether the file is complete. Some working capital reviews can move quickly, while SBA, commercial real estate, construction, and bank products can take longer. Complete documents, accurate information, and prompt responses help reduce delays.

What credit score is needed for business funding?

There is no single credit score required for all business funding because each product and lender has different criteria. Bank and SBA products often prefer stronger credit, while some revenue-based products weigh business deposits more heavily. Credit still affects pricing, terms, approval probability, and available structures.
