Why catering companies in Dallas qualify
Catering companies in Dallas are classified under Caterers, an eligible category. Industry is therefore not the question; the four things every file is read on are.
The cash-cycle problem
Deposits up front, balance on or after the event, so cash arrives in steps.
In Dallas that usually means capital goes to kitchen equipment, vans, event staffing, a large booking that needs prepaid product.
What applies in Dallas
Dallas runs on corporate relocations, logistics and rapid suburban construction.
Texas funds normally on every tier.
Commissary and food handling permits apply.
The published thresholds
Tier 1: 650 FICO, 3 years in business, $300,000 a year or $25,000 a month, 8+ monthly deposits.
Tier 2: 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.
There is no hard credit cutoff here. The 650/600/550 tiers are product criteria, not a floor on the business. Scores in the 500s are placed routinely, and files in the 400s are read on revenue, deposit consistency and time in business rather than on the score alone.
Questions
Do you fund catering companies in Dallas?
Yes. The category is eligible; the file is read on revenue, deposits, time in business and existing positions.
What credit score is needed?
There is no hard credit cutoff here. The 650/600/550 tiers are product criteria, not a floor on the business. Scores in the 500s are placed routinely, and files in the 400s are read on revenue, deposit consistency and time in business rather than on the score alone.
How fast can funding arrive?
Same-day decision and next business day funding on a complete file.
What if revenue is seasonal?
Peaks around wedding season and Q4 corporate events. Underwriting reads the average and the deposit count, not the peak month.
