Good work, rough credit

A lot of electricians started their own shops after years on someone else's crew. The early years are hard on personal credit. You float materials on a card, a customer stiffs you on a big job, or a medical bill lands at the wrong time. None of that changes whether you can pull a service or wire a building, but it can shut the door at a bank.

We look at the shop first. FICO 500+ is considered, and we start with a soft credit pull, so checking your options does not hurt your score.

How we weigh credit against deposits

Your score is one input. Your business bank statements tell us more about how the shop runs today:

We ask for about three months of statements. No tax returns are required, and sole proprietors can apply. A lower score does not decide the outcome by itself, and a high score does not either. The full picture does.

What the funds usually cover

Electrical contractors with credit challenges come to us for the same reasons as everyone else: materials for an upcoming job, payroll while a pay application clears, or a truck repair that cannot wait. Depending on how you get paid, that could be working capital, a merchant cash advance, or revenue-based financing.

Protect yourself while you rebuild

When credit is tight, it is tempting to take any offer that shows up. Slow down. Every offer we present shows the full repayment amount and the payment schedule before you accept. Check it against your next two or three months of jobs. Taking a smaller amount that you can carry is better than stretching for a bigger one. If you are not sure which product fits your shop, read our guide to qualifying as an electrical contractor.

Small steps that help over time

Paying existing obligations on schedule, keeping the business account out of the red, and separating personal and business spending all make your next review cleaner. None of it is quick, but each month of clean statements adds to your file. When you are ready to see where you stand, apply in about 5 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a minimum credit score?

FICO 500+ is considered. We weigh your score together with deposits and existing obligations.

Will applying lower my score?

We start with a soft credit pull, which does not affect your score.

I had a tax lien in the past. Can I still apply?

Yes, you can apply. It is one factor we review alongside the rest of your file, and we look at your current deposit history closely.

Do you need my tax returns?

No. About three months of business bank statements is the core of the review.

How much can an electrical contractor with bad credit get?

Funding ranges from $25,000 to $5,000,000 overall. Your amount depends mainly on your deposits and existing obligations.

Wire and conduit $19,000.00
Payroll bridge $34,000.00
Van transmission $8,500.00
Tool replacement $15,000.00
