A low score does not tell the whole story

Credit scores get hit for reasons that have little to do with how a business runs today: a medical bill from years back, a maxed card during a slow season, a personal divorce. When you ask for $100,000, we look at the score, but we also look hard at what your business bank account shows month after month.

FICO scores from 500 and up are considered. That does not mean every file gets the full amount. It means a low score alone is not where the conversation ends.

How we weigh credit against deposits

Think of it as a balance. Steady, consistent deposits and a manageable list of existing obligations can carry a file with weaker credit. Thin deposits, frequent overdrafts, or several open payments make a $100,000 offer harder to support, even with a decent score.

For illustration

Two auto shops each ask for $100,000 with scores in the mid-500s. One has steady deposits and no other financing. The other makes daily payments to two existing funders. The first may see an offer near the request. The second will likely see a smaller number, or a recommendation to wait.

What to send

No tax returns required, and we begin with a soft credit pull. Sole proprietors can apply.

Choosing the right product

With credit challenges, products reviewed mainly on cash flow tend to fit best. A merchant cash advance and revenue-based financing both lean on deposits. If you want to explore score-specific guidance, read our page on funding with a 550 credit score.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the lowest credit score you consider for $100,000?

FICO scores from 500 and up are considered. The amount offered depends heavily on deposits and existing obligations, not the score alone.

Will checking my options lower my score further?

No. We start with a soft credit pull, which does not affect your credit score.

Do past defaults or collections matter?

They are part of the picture and funders weigh them, but recent business performance carries significant weight too. Context helps, so feel free to explain.

Can I get less than $100,000 if I do not qualify for the full amount?

Yes. If your deposits support a lower figure, the offer may come in below your request. You can accept it, decline it, or reapply later as your account strengthens.

Do you require collateral?

Requirements depend on the product. Cash-flow-based products like a merchant cash advance are reviewed mainly on bank deposits.

Equipment repair $24,000.00
Stock up $55,000.00
Second location $100,000.00
Hire crew $41,500.00
