Why S corp owners get stuck at the bank

Many S corp owners pay themselves a reasonable salary and take the rest as distributions, or leave profit in the company. That can be smart tax planning, but it can make personal income look thin on a loan file, and the corporate return may show lower net income after deductions. A bank reading only the paperwork can come away with a smaller picture than the business deserves.

Merchant Fund Express starts from a different place: the money moving through your business bank account.

What we review instead

We ask for about three months of business bank statements and a short 5-minute application. No tax returns are required, so your K-1, 1120-S and personal return are not the center of the review. A funder looks at:

Keep the corporate account clean

Run revenue through the S corp's account

If customer payments land in a personal account and then get moved over, the business statements understate what the company earns. Deposits that go straight into the corporate account give a clearer view.

Separate distributions from operating costs

Large owner draws are normal, but timing them right before a statement period ends can leave the balance looking thin. Being aware of that helps.

Products and next steps

Offers can include working capital, a merchant cash advance, a business line of credit, equipment financing, or revenue-based financing, from $25,000 to $5,000,000. Qualified businesses can be funded in as little as 24 hours. You will see the full repayment amount and the schedule before you accept anything. Start the application with a soft credit pull.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you need my 1120-S or K-1?

No. No tax returns are required. We review about three months of business bank statements plus your application.

My personal income looks low because I take distributions. Is that a problem?

We focus on business deposits rather than your W-2 salary from the S corp, so a modest salary does not drive the review the way it might at a bank.

Whose credit do you check?

We look at the owner's personal credit with a soft pull to start, and FICO 500+ is considered.

Can an S corp with multiple owners apply?

Yes. Share who the owners are on the application so the file is complete. Requirements for each owner can vary by offer.

What can S corp funding be used for?

Common uses include inventory, payroll, equipment, expansion and covering gaps while customers pay.

Payroll cushion $65,000.00
New equipment $120,000.00
Bulk inventory $90,000.00
Office expansion $150,000.00

How to improve your chances

S corp owners can make their statements easier to read with a few habits.

  • Deposit all customer payments into the corporate account
  • Time large distributions away from statement cutoffs
  • Keep personal expenses off the business account
  • List all current business obligations on your application
