A rough credit history does not erase a full service board

Plenty of good plumbing and HVAC operators carry a credit score that does not match the business they run today. Maybe it was a divorce, a medical bill, a partner who left, or the early years when you put supplies on personal cards. The bank sees the number and stops reading. Your customers see a shop that shows up and fixes the problem.

We look at both. FICO 500+ is considered, and credit is one factor among several. The bigger part of the picture is your business bank activity: how steadily service calls, installs and maintenance agreements turn into deposits.

How funders weigh credit next to everything else

Credit tells a funder how past obligations were handled. Bank statements tell them how the business runs now. For a plumbing or HVAC company, reviewers usually look at:

None of these is an automatic answer by itself. A lower score with steady deposits reads very differently from a lower score with an account that runs empty every week. Our qualifying guide for plumbing and HVAC goes deeper.

What the money usually goes toward

Contractors with credit challenges often need funding for the same reasons everyone else does: equipment, inventory and payroll. A few examples for illustration:

Frequently Asked Questions

What credit score do I need?

FICO 500+ is considered. Credit is weighed together with your deposits, existing obligations and time in business, so no single number decides the outcome.

Will checking my options lower my score?

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

Do past tax liens or collections matter?

They can be part of the review. Funders look at the full picture, so be upfront about them and include context with your application.

Which product fits a plumbing company with credit issues?

It depends on the need. A merchant cash advance or revenue-based financing ties repayment to sales, while equipment financing is tied to a specific asset. We will walk through what fits.

Can a sole proprietor HVAC tech apply?

Yes. Sole proprietors can apply, and we review the deposits in your business account.
