A bank no is not the final answer

Many New York owners hear no from a bank because of a credit score shaped by things unrelated to how the business runs today: the pandemic years, a personal hardship, a partner who left behind debt. If your business account shows steady deposits, there is still a path. We consider owners with FICO scores of 500 and up and review the business before the score.

What carries weight in the review

Funders who work with lower credit tend to focus on cash flow. Here is how we read a file:

Credit still matters. It is simply one factor among several rather than the whole decision.

From Manhattan to the North Country

New York's economy runs from finance and hospitality in the city to manufacturing, agriculture and tourism upstate. A Bronx auto shop, a Utica restaurant and a Saratoga summer business each have different deposit patterns. We read yours on its own terms, and you can explain any unusual months in your application.

Options for owners rebuilding credit

A merchant cash advance is often the first stop because repayment comes from sales. Working capital and equipment financing may also fit. Funding ranges from $25,000 to $5,000,000.

Using funding to rebuild

Funding can help a business with weak credit get back on solid ground if it is used with a clear purpose. Restocking a profitable product line, fixing equipment that is costing you jobs or covering payroll through a slow stretch can all strengthen future deposits. Steady, on-time repayment and a clean business account also make your next application easier to review. We suggest borrowing for a need you can name, in an amount your slowest months can support.

How to start

The application takes about five minutes and starts with a soft credit pull. No tax returns are required, and sole proprietors can apply. Your offer shows the full repayment amount and schedule before you accept, and funding can arrive in as little as 24 hours for qualified businesses.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get a business loan in New York with a 500 credit score?

We consider FICO scores of 500 and up. Your deposits, existing obligations and account history are weighed alongside the score.

Does a soft pull show up to other lenders?

A soft credit pull does not affect your credit score.

What if I had a recent bad month?

Note it in your application. We look at the overall pattern of deposits and how the business has handled slow periods.

Are tax returns needed?

No. We work mainly from about three months of business bank statements.

Can sole proprietors with bad credit apply?

Yes. Sole proprietors can apply if the business has steady deposits.

Will a bank decline hurt my chances with you?

A past bank decline does not decide your file. We review your deposits, obligations and credit together.
