Frequently asked questions

Can I get a business loan with a 500 credit score?

Yes — FICO 500+ can qualify because approval is weighted toward revenue and deposit history.

Will applying lower my score?

No — it's a soft credit pull that doesn't affect your score.

Do I need collateral?

No — this is unsecured working capital based on your revenue.

Will checking my options affect my credit score?

No. Prequalifying uses a soft credit pull that does not affect your score. A hard pull only happens if you accept an offer.
