A quarter million with a credit score that took some hits

Plenty of owners run solid businesses and still carry a score that reflects a rough stretch: a medical bill, a divorce, a slow year that turned into late payments. When you need around $250,000, a bank will usually stop reading at the score. We start somewhere else.

We consider FICO scores from 500 and up. The bigger question for a request this size is what your business bank account shows month after month. Steady deposits tell us more about your ability to handle a funding repayment than a number shaped by something that happened years ago.

What drives whether $250,000 fits

The amount you can be offered depends mainly on two things: your deposits and the obligations you already carry. A business with strong, consistent monthly revenue and little existing debt has more room than one that is already making several daily or weekly payments.

If $250,000 is more than your numbers support today, the offer may come in lower. You can see that before you commit to anything.

Products that can reach this range

Depending on your file, a $250,000 request might be structured as a merchant cash advance, working capital, a business line of credit, equipment financing, or revenue-based financing. Each repays differently, so we explain the structure in plain terms before you sign.

How the process works

  1. Fill out the 5-minute application. It starts with a soft credit pull.
  2. Upload about three months of business bank statements. No tax returns required.
  3. Review your offer, including the full repayment amount and schedule.
  4. Accept and receive funds in as little as 24 hours for qualified businesses.

Sole proprietors can apply too. When you are ready, start your application.

Being realistic about credit

A lower score can still affect what an offer looks like. Funders weigh credit as one signal among several, so a recent pattern of missed payments may lead to a smaller amount than the deposits alone would suggest. The best thing you can do is show stable, recent bank activity and be upfront about any existing obligations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get $250,000 with a 520 credit score?

We consider FICO 500+, so a 520 score can be reviewed. Whether $250,000 fits depends mainly on your deposits and existing obligations, not the score alone.

Will applying hurt my credit?

We start with a soft credit pull, which does not affect your score the way a hard inquiry can.

Do I need tax returns?

No. We look at about three months of business bank statements instead.

What if my numbers support less than $250,000?

Your offer will show the amount your file supports. You decide whether it works for you before signing.

How fast can the money arrive?

Funding can happen in as little as 24 hours for qualified businesses once you accept an offer.
