Why hardware stores in Miami qualify
Hardware stores in Miami are classified under Hardware Stores, an eligible category. Industry is therefore not the question; the four things every file is read on are.
The cash-cycle problem
Immediate retail receipts plus contractor accounts on 30-day terms.
In Miami that usually means capital goes to inventory depth, rental fleet, delivery vehicles, store expansion.
What applies in Miami
Miami runs on international trade, tourism and hospitality, with pronounced seasonality.
Florida funds normally on every tier.
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.
