Can bad credit still reach $200,000?

It can be possible, but credit is not what usually sets the ceiling. For a request this size, the bigger question is whether your business deposits can support it. A bank tends to stop at the credit score. We consider FICO scores from 500 and then look hard at how money actually moves through your account.

That said, a lower score is a real factor in how an offer is shaped. It is weighed alongside everything else, not ignored.

What carries weight besides your score

If those point to less than $200,000, the offer will say so, and you can decide whether a smaller figure works.

Options that tend to fit

Owners with lower credit often look at products tied to revenue rather than credit score, such as a merchant cash advance or revenue-based financing. Working capital and a business line of credit are also available depending on your file. Many bad-credit borrowers also compare against $150,000 bad credit options if deposits are on the lighter side.

Why credit dropped matters less than where it is going

Many owners we hear from had a rough stretch: a slow year, a medical bill, a partner who left, a customer who never paid. Credit took the hit even though the business recovered. When deposits show the business is healthy now, that recovery carries real weight in the review.

What helps is showing stability in the recent months. A business account with steady deposits, few overdrafts, and no fresh stack of obligations tells a clear story. What hurts is a pattern of negative balances or several new payments added recently. Neither is an automatic outcome; they are part of how a funder weighs the whole file. If you are working to rebuild, keeping your business account clean for a few months before applying can make a meaningful difference in the offer you receive.

Starting without another hard hit

Our application takes about five minutes and starts with a soft credit pull, so you can see where you stand before anything heavier. Send about three months of business bank statements; no tax returns required. Your offer shows the full repayment amount and schedule before you accept. Apply here.
