Why landscaping companies in Florida qualify
Landscaping companies are classified under Landscaping Services, which is an eligible category. That takes industry off the table and leaves the same four things every file is read on: average daily balance against revenue, time in business, negative days and NSFs, and existing positions.
The cash-cycle problem
Residential collected quickly; commercial maintenance contracts invoice monthly.
In Florida that usually means capital goes to mowers, trucks, trailers, crew for the season, materials for an install contract.
Sharply seasonal in northern states; the winter trough is normal, not distress.
What applies in Florida
Florida funds normally on every tier — no extra restrictions apply.
Most of this activity sits around Jacksonville, Miami, Tampa, Orlando and St. Petersburg.
Vermont, North Dakota and South Dakota sit outside the lending area on every product. California and New York carry extra restrictions on the revenue-based tier.
Florida has no meaningful winter shutdown, so landscaping companies run close to twelve months a year. That produces steadier deposits than the same trade in a northern state and generally reads well.
Hurricane exposure also means insurance premiums and business-interruption risk sit higher here than the national average, which shows up in fixed costs.
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.
