What a 600 actually means

600 clears the published revenue-based tier outright.

Revenue-based funding: 600 FICO, 6 months in business, $60,000 revenue, $800 minimum daily balance.

The trade-off at this level

Faster and more forgiving on time in business and existing positions than Tier 1, at a higher cost of capital.

The gap to Tier 1 is 50 points plus 3 years in business and $25,000 a month.

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 and an $800 minimum daily balance.

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.
