A low score does not tell your shop's whole story

Plenty of good shops have owners with bruised credit. Maybe it was a divorce, a medical bill, or the years when you were building the business on personal cards. Banks tend to stop reading at the score. We look further, because what predicts repayment for an operating shop is mostly the cash moving through its account.

FICO 500+ is considered. That does not mean every file gets approved, and it does not mean credit is ignored. It means credit is one factor among several.

How funders weigh credit next to everything else

When we review an auto repair shop, credit sits next to these factors:

Products that can fit

Shops with lower scores often look at a merchant cash advance for auto repair or revenue-based financing for auto repair, since both lean heavily on sales and deposits. Working capital and equipment financing are also on the table depending on the file.

Applying without making things worse

We start with a soft credit pull, so checking your options does not lower your score. The application takes about five minutes, and we review about three months of business bank statements. No tax returns required, and sole proprietors can apply.

If you get an offer, it shows the full repayment amount and schedule before you accept, with no surprise costs after you sign. Be honest with yourself about what the payments mean for your shop. Apply here, and funding can arrive in as little as 24 hours for qualified businesses.

Frequently Asked Questions

What credit score do I need?

FICO 500+ is considered. Your score is weighed alongside deposits, balances and existing obligations, so there is no single number that decides the outcome.

Will checking my options hurt my score further?

No. We start with a soft credit pull.

Can I get approved with a past bankruptcy or collections?

We review each file on its own facts. Recent events are weighed differently from older ones, and your deposit history matters a great deal. Apply and we will tell you plainly what we see.

Will a lower score mean a smaller amount?

Credit can affect an offer, but the amount depends mainly on your deposits and what your shop already owes.

How can I improve my chances before applying?

Keep deposits flowing into one business account, avoid overdrafts, and reduce negative balance days in the months before you apply.
