When the bank says no because of your score

A Connecticut business can be busy, profitable, and still get turned down because the owner's credit took a hit. Maybe it was a divorce, a slow year during a big client's restructuring, or old personal debt. A bank often stops there. We do not, because we review how the business is actually performing.

FICO scores of 500 and up are considered for our bad credit business loans in Connecticut.

How funders weigh lower credit

Credit tells a funder how past obligations were handled. It does not show what your business deposited last month. That is why we pair the score with about three months of business bank statements and look at:

A lower score can be offset by strong, steady deposits. It can also mean a smaller amount or a different product. Each file is reviewed on its own facts.

Connecticut businesses we see

We hear from owners across the state: trades and contractors who run on project cycles, shoreline hospitality businesses with a strong summer and a quiet winter, and suppliers that serve larger manufacturers. Steady deposits through those cycles matter more to us than a perfect report.

Options that often fit

A merchant cash advance in Connecticut ties repayment to sales. Working capital is a simple lump sum for payroll or inventory. If you need machinery, look at equipment financing in Connecticut. Funding ranges from $25,000 to $5,000,000.

An example of how it can play out

For illustration: a Norwalk landscaping company owner carries a score in the low 500s after medical bills a few years ago. The business deposits steadily from spring through fall and keeps a modest balance in winter. A bank declined on the score alone. When we review the file, the deposit history carries much of the weight, and the offer is sized to what the deposits and existing obligations can support.

Apply without adding a hard inquiry

Our 5-minute application starts with a soft credit pull. No tax returns are required, and sole proprietors can apply. Every offer shows the full repayment amount before you accept, and qualified businesses can be funded in as little as 24 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is 500 the lowest score you consider?

FICO scores of 500 and up are considered. The score is reviewed together with your deposits and obligations.

Will applying lower my score?

We start with a soft credit pull, which does not carry the same impact as a hard inquiry.

Do I need collateral?

We focus on your business deposits and existing obligations. Your offer explains everything that applies before you accept.

What if I had a past default?

Tell us about it. We weigh it alongside how your business is depositing today.

Can a sole proprietor with bad credit apply?

Yes, sole proprietors can apply.

Will my offer be smaller because of my credit?

It can be. Credit is one factor alongside deposits and existing obligations, and the full picture shapes the amount.
