Business loan questions, answered

What types of business loans does ClearValue Lending route?

ClearValue Lending works across eight core financing categories: revenue-based financing (merchant cash advance), business line of credit, term loans, equipment financing, SBA loans, invoice factoring, business acquisition loans, and startup business loans. We route your application to the funding partners whose underwriting criteria best matches your file — more than one may review it and reach out.

What does it take to qualify for a business loan?

Qualification varies by product. Most revenue-based financing (MCA) requires 500+ owner FICO, 6+ months in business, and $10,000+ in monthly deposits. Lines of credit typically start at 600+ FICO and 12+ months. Term loans generally require 650+ FICO and 24+ months. SBA loans need 680+ FICO, 24+ months, and full tax-return documentation.

How fast can a business loan fund?

Revenue-based financing and lines of credit can fund in 24–72 hours after document submission. Equipment financing typically takes 2–10 business days. Term loans run 2–7 business days for alternative lenders, 2–6 weeks for bank-tier. SBA loans are the slowest — 30–90 days — but offer the best rates and terms for files that qualify.

Does ClearValue Lending originate loans directly?

No. ClearValue Lending is a funding platform, not a lender. We evaluate your file, route it to the funding partners whose underwriting criteria fit your situation, and facilitate the introduction. The funding partner that makes you an offer originates, underwrites, and funds the loan.

What credit score do I need for a small business loan?

The floor depends on the product. Revenue-based financing can approve at 500+ FICO. Lines of credit typically start at 600+. Term loans and equipment financing usually need 600–650+. SBA loans generally require 680+.

How does ClearValue Lending route my file to a funding partner?

We review the key signals — owner FICO, monthly deposits, time in business, existing debt positions, industry, and use of funds — against the underwriting criteria of our full lender network, then route your application to the funding partners most likely to fund based on that match.
