A low score is not the whole story

Plenty of solid Louisiana businesses carry credit scars. A rough hurricane year, a slow stretch after a contract ended, or medical bills from years ago can drag a score down long after the business itself has recovered. Banks tend to stop at the number. We look further.

We consider owners with a FICO of 500 and up, and we put real weight on how your business performs today, as shown in about three months of bank statements.

How funders weigh credit next to deposits

Credit tells a funder how past obligations were handled. Deposits show what the business brings in now. When a score is low, consistent deposits, a reasonable number of existing payments, and an account without frequent overdrafts help balance the picture. A score alone does not decide an offer in either direction, and we will not pretend any single factor makes approval certain.

What to have ready

No tax returns are required. We start with a soft credit pull, and sole proprietors can apply.

Choosing a product

Owners with a lower score often look at merchant cash advance options in Louisiana, revenue-based financing, or working capital in Louisiana. Whatever fits, your offer shows the full repayment amount and schedule before you accept. Apply here to see where you stand.

Using funding to rebuild, not dig deeper

The best use of funding when credit is bruised is something that clearly brings money back in: inventory you already know will sell, a repair that gets a crew working again, or staff for a busy season you can see coming. Using new funds to cover losses with no plan to turn them around rarely ends well. Before you accept an offer, compare the repayment schedule with your typical weekly deposits and make sure there is room left for rent, payroll and suppliers. Paying on time through the term is also one of the more practical ways to show future funders a stronger track record.

If anything about your statements needs explaining, such as a large one-time deposit or a month when a storm closed your doors, mention it on the application. Context helps us read the numbers the way they actually happened.
