A rough credit history is common in landscaping

Plenty of solid landscaping companies have a credit score that does not reflect how the business actually runs. Maybe a slow winter led to a few late card payments, or an early truck loan went sideways before the company found its footing. Banks tend to stop reading right there. We take a broader look.

FICO scores from 500 are considered. Credit still matters, but it is one input next to the thing that tells us most about a landscaping business: the deposits flowing through your business bank account.

How we weigh your file

We review about three months of business bank statements. In that window we look at:

None of these is an automatic yes or no on its own. They work together to shape whether we can make an offer and how large it can be. Our landscaping qualification guide walks through this in more detail.

What the funds can cover

Landscapers use our funding for the same things whether their credit is perfect or not: new mowers and attachments, a second crew truck, irrigation parts, sod and plant material, seasonal payroll, or a marketing push before spring. If your challenge is getting through winter, take a look at landscaping slow season funding.

Products can include a merchant cash advance, working capital, a business line of credit, equipment financing or revenue-based financing. Funding ranges from $25,000 to $5,000,000.

Being upfront about past credit trouble

If there is a tax lien, a charged-off card or a past default on your report, tell us on the application. Context helps. A setback from a bad winter three years ago, followed by steady deposits ever since, reads very differently from a pattern that is still going on.

Starting without a hit to your score

We begin with a soft credit pull, so checking your options does not add a hard inquiry at the start. The application takes about 5 minutes and sole proprietors can apply. If you receive an offer, it shows the full repayment amount and schedule before you accept, so you know exactly what you are signing.

When you are ready, apply here.

Frequently Asked Questions

What credit score do I need for landscaping funding?

FICO scores from 500 are considered. Your score is weighed together with your deposits, balances and existing obligations, so there is no single cutoff that decides your file.

Will checking my options hurt my credit further?

We start with a soft credit pull, which does not affect your score the way a hard inquiry can.

Does a past default mean I will be declined?

Not automatically. We look at what happened, how recent it was, and how your business bank account has performed since.

I am a sole proprietor running one crew. Can I apply?

Yes. Sole proprietors can apply, as long as the business has steady deposits running through a bank account.

How fast could I be funded?

Qualified businesses can be funded in as little as 24 hours once the offer is accepted and paperwork is signed.

Zero-turn mower $32,000.00
Irrigation parts $26,500.00
