Why coffee shops qualify
Coffee shops are classified under Snack and Nonalcoholic Beverage Bars, an eligible category.
Daily card and cash receipts, very short cycle.
What the capital is normally for
In practice: espresso equipment, build-out, roasting, a second location, drive-through conversion.
Steady, with a modest summer dip in commuter locations.
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.
