🔒 Soft credit pull · will not affect your credit score

Short answer: Alternative funding approves a much higher share of applicants than banks because it underwrites on revenue and bank-deposit health, not just credit score. Businesses with FICO 500+, 6+ months of history, and steady deposits are frequently approved through Direct Fast Funding even after a bank turndown — often within 24 hours.

Frequently asked questions

Why do more businesses get approved than at a bank?
Because approval is based on revenue and deposit consistency rather than credit score and tax returns, which opens funding to businesses banks decline.
Can I get approved after a bank turned me down?
Frequently yes — a bank turndown often reflects credit or documentation, while alternative approval leans on your actual cash flow.
What improves my odds?
Consistent deposits, few negative days, manageable existing debt, and clean recent bank statements.
Does applying hurt my credit?
No — it's a soft pull.
How fast is a decision?
Usually within hours, with funding in as little as 24 hours.
