A low score doesn't erase a working business

Credit scores drop for all kinds of reasons: a medical bill, a rough winter for a seasonal operator, a partner who left a mess behind. None of that changes the fact that a Minnesota shop, restaurant or service company may be bringing in steady deposits every month. Merchant Fund Express considers FICO scores of 500 and up and puts real weight on how your business performs today.

Funding ranges from $25,000 to $5,000,000 for established businesses with steady deposits. Products include working capital, merchant cash advance, a business line of credit, equipment financing and revenue-based financing.

How funders weigh credit next to deposits

Your score tells a funder about past borrowing behavior. Your bank statements tell them about current cash flow. We look at both. Things we review include:

No single factor decides the outcome. A lower score paired with steady deposits reads differently from a lower score paired with shrinking revenue.

Minnesota businesses that come to us

We hear from owners across the state: remodel-adjacent suppliers and HVAC companies in the Twin Cities suburbs, resort and bait shops up north that ride the summer season, food processors and ag service businesses in greater Minnesota, and independent retailers who took a hit and are rebuilding. The common thread is a real business with money moving through the account.

Keeping costs clear when credit is tight

Owners with weaker credit sometimes feel pressure to take the first offer. Don't. Every offer from us shows the full repayment amount and the repayment schedule before you accept, so you can compare it to your margins and decide calmly. Take only what the business can carry.

Rebuilding while you grow

Using funding to steady operations can also help you get back on track: paying vendors on time, keeping payroll steady and avoiding overdrafts. Those habits show up in your bank statements and help on future reviews, with us or anyone else.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the minimum credit score you consider in Minnesota?

FICO scores of 500 and up are considered. Credit is reviewed alongside deposits and existing obligations.

Will applying hurt my credit?

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

Do I need collateral or tax returns?

Tax returns are not required. We mainly review about three months of business bank statements and your application.

Can a sole proprietor with bad credit apply?

Yes. Sole proprietors can apply, and the same review of deposits, obligations and credit applies.

Which product is best with lower credit?

It depends on how your revenue comes in. Card-heavy businesses often look at a merchant cash advance, while others use working capital or revenue-based financing.

Vendor catch-up $30,000.00
Inventory $55,000.00
Equipment repair $26,000.00
Seasonal payroll $70,000.00
