Best equity financing

Equity is the most expensive capital that exists if the business succeeds, and the cheapest if it fails.

How it works

You are selling a permanent share of future profit to avoid a temporary payment. For a profitable operating business with a working-capital need, that is almost always the wrong trade.

Equity makes sense where the capital funds something with a genuinely uncertain, potentially very large return — not payroll or inventory.

What it takes

Debt on a known return beats equity on a known return, every time.

The minimum FICO is 500. The 650/600/550 tiers are product criteria that decide which product a file is read against, not a floor on the business. Scores in the 500s are placed routinely and are read on revenue, deposit consistency and time in business rather than on the score alone.

Average daily balance of $5,000, or 10% of monthly revenue, whichever is greater. Up to 3 negative days a month, 9 per six months and up to 6 NSFs a month, 24 per six months.

The trade-off worth knowing

The products here are debt. If what you need is a partner rather than a payment, this is the wrong page.

Restricted regardless of the numbers: new residential construction, residential remodelling, long-distance (TL or LTL) trucking, used car dealers, and real estate agents, brokers, managers or lessors. Funding in all 50 US states.
