Most established businesses generating $20,000 or more in monthly revenue qualify for at least one type of business funding. Requirements vary by product — merchant cash advances focus on card sales volume, while term loans may require stronger credit profiles. Revenue consistency is typically more important than credit score.
Not necessarily. Many business funding products prioritize revenue performance over personal credit scores. Merchant cash advances and revenue-based financing options are available to businesses with all credit profiles, including those with scores below 600.
Most funding providers require a minimum of $20,000 in monthly revenue. Some products are available to businesses with $10,000+ monthly revenue, but qualification rates and terms improve significantly above the $20,000 threshold.
Most funding products require at least 3 to 12 months of operating history with verifiable revenue. Pre-revenue startups typically do not qualify for merchant cash advances or revenue-based financing. SBA microloans and startup-specific programs may be available.
Some industries are considered higher risk by certain lenders, which can affect available products and terms. Restaurants, healthcare, retail, and construction businesses are commonly funded. Restricted industries include gambling, firearms, and certain adult entertainment businesses.
Initial applications typically use a soft credit pull, which does not impact your credit score. A hard credit inquiry only occurs if you choose to accept a specific funding offer from a lender. You can apply and compare options without any credit impact.
