What a 580 actually means

580 is the edge of the 600 tier. Most files here are a single account away.

Revenue-based funding now; the 600 tier is realistically one or two cycles out.

The trade-off at this level

Waiting 60 days for 600 can be worth more than funding today, depending on what the capital earns.

Check for a reporting error before assuming the score is accurate — at this level one line matters.

Average daily balance of $5,000, or 10% of monthly revenue, whichever is greater. Up to 3 negative days a month, 9 per six months and up to 6 NSFs a month, 24 per six months.

What the account needs to show

$60,000 revenue, 6 months in business.

The score decides which product the file is read against. The statements decide the rest.

Line of credit and term loan: 650 FICO, 3 years in business, $300,000 a year or $25,000 a month, 8+ monthly deposits
Revenue-based funding: 600 FICO, 6 months in business, $60,000 revenue, $800 minimum daily balance
Renewal: 550 FICO, 2 years in business, once 50% of the original balance is repaid
Restricted regardless of score: new residential construction, residential remodelling, long-distance (TL or LTL) trucking, used car dealers, and real estate agents, brokers, managers or lessors. Funding in all 50 US states.

Where this sits against everything else

The minimum FICO is 500. The 650/600/550 tiers are product criteria that decide which product a file is read against, not a floor on the business. Scores in the 500s are placed routinely and are read on revenue, deposit consistency and time in business rather than on the score alone.
