What lenders in our network look for

These are directional guidelines, not a hard cutoff — the network spans SBA and bank-grade lenders through alternative and revenue-based products, so a range of files fund.

  • Time in business: SBA 7(a) generally prefers 24+ months; some bank lenders flex to 12+. Newer businesses fit alternative and revenue-based products.
  • Owner credit: most bank/SBA lenders look for a personal FICO around 680+ (some flex to 660). Lower-credit files route to non-bank products instead.
  • Monthly revenue: SBA debt-service analysis typically wants $25K+/month for meaningful 7(a) capacity. Below that, microloans and revenue-based options fit better.
  • Existing debt load: two or more open merchant cash advances reads as distress to bank/SBA underwriters. A single open advance is generally workable.

Don't check every box? Apply anyway — we route your file to the partners whose underwriting fits it. Want a personalized read first? Take the free funding readiness check.
