FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about the process? Here are the answers to the most common ones.

How long does the application take?

Most applications take under 5 minutes to complete. Simply choose your loan product, fill in your basic business and personal information, and upload any required documents. Our forms are designed to be straightforward with no unnecessary steps.

Will applying hurt my credit?

No. We only perform a soft pull for the initial review, which does not affect your credit score. A hard credit inquiry only occurs if you choose to move forward with a specific lender’s offer, and we will always inform you before that happens.

How fast can I get funded?

Funding timelines vary by product. Merchant cash advances and some term loans can fund in as little as 24 hours. Lines of credit and equipment loans typically take 24–48 hours. Real estate products like DSCR and fix-and-flip loans generally take 5–21 days depending on complexity.

What documents do I need?

Required documents vary by product. Most business funding applications require recent bank statements (3–6 months), a government-issued ID, and a voided business check. Real estate products may also require tax returns, property details, and entity documents. Each product page lists the exact documents needed.
