From our insights
What it takes to qualify
Most operators here start with business capital — but if you're financing property or equipment, that path qualifies differently.
Business Capital
- Operating at least a few months under current ownership
- Roughly $17,000+ per month in business revenue
- Personal credit around 575+ on most programs
- Not over-extended on existing cash advances
- Bank statements usually enough to start — no tax returns to check options
Real Estate & Assets
- Credit generally 620+ (equipment) to 640+ (rental property)
- Equity or down payment — typically up to ~75% loan-to-value
- The property's income covers the payment (DSCR programs)
- No tax returns required on most DSCR programs
- Entity docs, insurance, and a purchase contract or payoff statement
Guidelines are typical ranges across our lender network, not a commitment to lend — every deal is reviewed individually.
