Credit took a hit. The business still runs.

Construction is hard on personal credit. Owners float materials on personal cards, cover a slow winter out of pocket, or absorb a customer who never paid the final invoice. None of that means the company is weak. It usually means the owner carried the business through a rough stretch.

That is why we consider FICO scores of 500 and up. A score is one input. The deposits flowing through your business account tell us a lot more about where the company is today.

How we weigh credit for contractors

We start with a soft credit pull, so looking at your options does not ding your score. From there, we look at about three months of business bank statements. Things that help a file:

Things that make a file harder include frequent negative balances, a run of recent new debt, or deposits that dropped off sharply. None of these is a single deciding factor; they are weighed together. Our construction qualification guide goes deeper.

Products that work with lower credit

Several of our products lean more on revenue than on credit history. A merchant cash advance for construction is tied to future receivables. Revenue-based financing for construction is built around incoming revenue. Working capital and equipment financing are also available. Funding runs from $25,000 to $5,000,000, with funding in as little as 24 hours for qualified businesses.

What we will not tell you

We will not tell you that a particular score is fine or that a past issue is an automatic no. Every file is weighed as a whole: credit history, deposit consistency, account health and existing obligations together. What we can promise is a clear process. You see the full repayment amount and schedule in writing before you accept, and there is no obligation to take an offer that does not fit your cash flow.

Before you apply

Be realistic about the amount. Ask for what the job or gap actually needs, not the most you think you can get. Bring three months of statements, know your current balances owed, and fill out the 5-minute application. Every offer shows the full repayment amount and schedule before you accept, so you can decide with real numbers in front of you.
