Frequently asked questions

How fast can I realistically get a business loan?
Same-day is realistic for amounts under about $100K with strong bank statements; larger amounts up to $5M typically fund within 24 hours.
Why is it faster than a bank?
Approval is based on your bank deposits rather than tax returns and lengthy underwriting.
What slows funding down?
Larger amounts, weak or inconsistent deposits, and applying late in the day.
Does a fast application hurt my credit?
No — it's a soft pull.
What do I need to move fast?
3 months of bank statements, an EIN, and a business bank account.
