A low score is not the whole story

Plenty of solid Missouri businesses have owners with bruised credit. A medical bill, a divorce, a rough year during a slowdown, or a business that failed before the current one. None of that changes the fact that your shop, restaurant or crew is bringing in money every week. A bank often stops reading once it sees the score. We look further.

Merchant Fund Express considers FICO scores of 500 and up for established businesses with steady deposits, with funding from $25,000 to $5,000,000.

How we weigh credit against everything else

Credit is one input, not the decision by itself. Here is roughly how funders like us read a file with lower credit:

A lower score can still lead to an offer when the rest of the file is strong. It can also mean a smaller amount, which is why we review the whole picture.

What applying involves

The 5-minute application starts with a soft credit pull, so you can see where you stand without a hard inquiry at the outset. We review about three months of business bank statements. No tax returns are required, and sole proprietors can apply.

Be upfront about past credit issues in your application. A short explanation of what happened and how the business has performed since gives useful context to the numbers.

Read the offer closely

When credit is tight, it is tempting to accept the first offer that shows up. Take the time to read it. Ours shows the full repayment amount and the repayment schedule before you accept, with no surprise costs after you sign. If the payment does not fit your deposits, it is not the right offer, and you are free to walk away.

Options to consider

Depending on how your business takes payments, working capital in Missouri or a Missouri merchant cash advance may fit. If you need a specific asset, equipment financing is another route. For timing questions, see fast funding in Missouri.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the lowest credit score you consider?

FICO scores of 500 and up are considered. The score is weighed alongside your deposits and existing obligations.

Will checking my options lower my score?

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

Does bad credit mean a smaller amount?

It can. Amounts depend mainly on deposits and existing obligations, and credit is part of the overall review.

Can a sole proprietor with bad credit apply?

Yes. Sole proprietors can apply. We review the business's bank statements and the owner's credit together.

How quickly can I get a decision?

Decisions move fast, and qualified businesses can be funded in as little as 24 hours.
