A rough credit file is not the whole story

Plenty of South Dakota owners have a score that took a hit for reasons that have little to do with how the business runs today. A hard winter that kept customers home, a bad year for a farm supply account, a medical bill that went to collections. Banks tend to stop reading at the score. We start with your deposits.

Merchant Fund Express considers owners with a FICO of 500 and up. We look at about three months of business bank statements to see how steady your revenue is, and we do not ask for tax returns. If the account shows a business that is open, busy and paying its bills, that counts for a lot.

How the season shapes a South Dakota business

Much of the state runs on a calendar. Ag-related businesses follow planting and harvest. Shops, motels and restaurants around the Black Hills see their busiest stretch in summer, while the cold months can be long and quiet. Sioux Falls and Rapid City have steadier year-round traffic from healthcare, retail and services.

When we review your statements, we read them with that rhythm in mind. A slow January next to a strong July tells a different story than a business that is shrinking month after month.

Frequently Asked Questions

What credit score do I need?

We consider owners with a FICO of 500 and up. Your score is one input. Steady deposits and how you handle existing obligations carry real weight in the review.

Will applying hurt my credit?

We start with a soft credit pull, which does not affect your score. You will know where you stand before anything further happens.

Do I need tax returns?

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

My business is seasonal. Can I still apply?

Yes. We read your statements in context, so a predictable slow season is viewed differently from a steady decline.

How fast can I get funded?

Qualified businesses can be funded in as little as 24 hours once the review is done and the offer is accepted.

Can I apply during the off-season?

Yes. Many South Dakota businesses apply in late winter or spring to prepare for the busy months. We review your recent statements together with your seasonal pattern.

Winter payroll $35,000.00
Summer inventory $60,000.00
Equipment repair $28,000.00
