Question 1

How fast can I get a business loan?

Accepted Answer

With Slate Financial, many business loans fund in as little as 24 hours. MCAs and lines of credit can fund same-day. Term loans typically fund in 24-72 hours. Real estate loans range from 5 days to 4 weeks depending on the product.

Question 2

Can I get a business loan with bad credit?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Products like MCAs, MCA Bailouts, and Lines of Credit are primarily based on your business revenue, not your personal credit score. If your business generates consistent monthly revenue ($10K+/month), you likely qualify for funding.

Question 3

What types of business loans does Slate Financial offer?

Accepted Answer

Slate Financial offers 14 loan products including Term Loans, Lines of Credit, Merchant Cash Advances, MCA Bailout, 0% Interest Business Credit Cards, Equipment Financing, Purchase Order Factoring, Commercial Real Estate Loans, Residential Mortgages, DSCR Loans, Fix and Flip Loans, Ground-Up Construction Loans, Mergers & Acquisitions Financing, and Form 1003 Mortgage Applications.

Question 4

Does applying for a business loan affect my credit score?

Accepted Answer

No. Slate Financial's initial application uses a soft inquiry that does NOT impact your credit score. A hard pull is only done after you've reviewed and accepted a specific offer from a lender.

Question 5

What is a DSCR loan?

Accepted Answer

A DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loan allows real estate investors to qualify based on the property's rental income rather than personal income. If the property's rent covers the mortgage payment, you can qualify without providing pay stubs, W-2s, or tax returns.
