Why hair salons in Austin qualify
Hair salons in Austin are classified under Beauty Salons, an eligible category. Industry is therefore not the question; the four things every file is read on are.
The cash-cycle problem
Immediate card receipts, plus booth rent where that model is used.
In Austin that usually means capital goes to chairs and stations, build-out, retail product inventory, a second location, stylist recruitment.
What applies in Austin
Austin runs on technology, a construction boom and a heavy events calendar.
Texas funds normally on every tier.
State board licensing applies to operators.
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

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?
Steady with holiday and prom-season peaks. Underwriting reads the average and the deposit count, not the peak month.
