Credit history and business health are different things

Michigan has been through some hard economic cycles, and plenty of owners carry credit damage from those years even though their businesses are running steadily now. A collision shop in Warren, a family restaurant in Saginaw, an HVAC company in Ann Arbor: each can have healthy deposits and a score that a bank will not look past.

We consider FICO scores of 500 and up, and we put real weight on what your business bank account shows today.

What funders look at when credit is lower

With a lower score, the rest of the file has to tell the story. Funders generally weigh:

These are weighed together. A lower score with strong, steady deposits reads very differently from a lower score with erratic ones.

Options that may fit

Depending on your file, you may be looking at a merchant cash advance, working capital, revenue-based financing, a line of credit or equipment financing. Amounts range from $25,000 to $5,000,000, sized mainly to deposits and existing obligations.

Seasonal and cyclical businesses

Many Michigan businesses do not have flat revenue. Northern tourism peaks in summer and fall color season, snow contractors earn in winter, and auto-related suppliers follow production cycles. That is not a problem by itself. What matters is that the pattern in your statements is understandable and that your offer is sized to fit it.

For illustration: a snow and landscaping company applying in March may show strong winter deposits and a quieter stretch before spring jobs begin. Explaining that rhythm in your application helps the review make sense of the numbers.

Apply without a hard hit

Our 5-minute application starts with a soft credit pull. No tax returns required. Sole proprietors can apply. Your offer lays out the full repayment amount and the repayment schedule before you accept, and funding can arrive in as little as 24 hours for qualified businesses.
