Why gas stations in Los Angeles qualify
Gas stations in Los Angeles are classified under Gasoline Stations with Convenience Stores, an eligible category. Industry is therefore not the question; the four things every file is read on are.
The cash-cycle problem
Immediate receipts, thin fuel margin, with the shop carrying most of the profit.
In Los Angeles that usually means capital goes to fuel inventory, pump and canopy upgrades, POS, car wash addition, store refresh.
What applies in Los Angeles
Los Angeles runs on entertainment, logistics through the ports, and an enormous independent retail and food scene.
California carries extra restrictions on the revenue-based tier here; the line of credit and term loan are unaffected.
Environmental and tank compliance requirements 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 gas stations in Los Angeles?
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?
Fuel price swings move deposits sharply without demand changing. Underwriting reads the average and the deposit count, not the peak month.
