A low score does not tell the whole story

Credit scores drop for reasons that have little to do with how well a business runs. A slow summer in a tourism market, a medical bill, a customer who paid six figures late. Arizona owners in hospitality, construction and retail know how uneven a year can be. When we review an application, we look at FICO scores starting from 500 and give real weight to your business bank deposits.

If your business has steady deposits and you can show about three months of statements, you can apply in about 5 minutes. We start with a soft credit pull, so checking your options does not affect your score.

How funders weigh credit alongside cash flow

Credit is one input. Funders also look at:

None of these is pass or fail on its own. Together they shape the amount and structure of your offer.

Options for Arizona owners rebuilding credit

Depending on your situation, the right fit could be a merchant cash advance, working capital, or equipment financing. Revenue-based financing is another route that ties repayment to the revenue moving through your account. Funding ranges from $25,000 to $5,000,000.

What to expect in your offer

Every offer shows the full repayment amount and the repayment schedule before you accept. There are no surprise costs after you sign. Take the time to compare it against your slowest months, not just your best ones, so repayment stays comfortable through the Arizona summer.

A simple example, for illustration

For illustration: a Mesa auto repair shop has a credit score in the low 500s after a slow year, but its business account has shown steady card and cash deposits for the last several months and it carries no other financing. That shop could apply, share three months of statements, and receive an offer sized to those deposits. A similar shop with heavy existing obligations would likely see a smaller amount. The point is that deposits and current obligations shape the offer as much as the score does, which is why we ask for statements rather than relying on credit alone.

Frequently Asked Questions

What credit score do I need?

We consider FICO scores of 500 and up. Your score is weighed alongside deposits, existing obligations and overall account health.

Will checking my options lower my score?

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

Do I need tax returns?

No tax returns are required. We ask for about three months of business bank statements.

Can a past default stop me from applying?

You can still apply. Funders look at the full picture, including how the business is performing today, so the outcome depends on your overall file.

Can sole proprietors with bad credit apply?

Yes. Sole proprietors can apply, as long as the business has steady deposits.
