Our Underwriting

How We Evaluate
Every Application

Our underwriting model was built to see the full picture of a business — not just a credit score. Here's what we actually look at.

Revenue Analysis

We analyze 3–6 months of bank statements to understand your revenue consistency, average monthly deposits, and seasonal patterns.

Risk Assessment

We evaluate your industry, time in business, existing debt obligations, and business stability to determine appropriate funding terms.

Credit Review

We perform a soft credit pull — no impact to your score — to review personal and business credit history as one data point among many.

Offer Construction

We build a funding offer tailored to your specific profile — optimized for what your business can comfortably repay.

What We Look For

The Factors That
Matter Most

We evaluate dozens of data points to make a fair, accurate funding decision. Here are the most important factors — and what you can do to improve your chances.

Monthly Revenue (Most Important)
Consistent monthly revenue is our primary underwriting signal. We look for $10,000+ per month with stable or growing trends.
Time in Business
We require a minimum of 12 months in business. Longer operating history generally leads to better terms and higher approval chances.
Credit Score (One Factor)
Minimum 500+ for most products. We weight revenue far more heavily than credit — a 580 score with strong revenue beats a 720 with weak revenue.
Existing Debt
We review your current debt obligations to ensure any new funding is serviceable. High existing debt load may affect terms but rarely prevents approval outright.

Why It Matters

What Makes This Different

01
Revenue-First Model

We designed our underwriting model around business revenue — not personal credit scores. A business generating $50K/month with a 550 credit score is a better risk than a 720-score business generating $8K/month.

02
Transparency in Decisions

If we decline your application, we tell you why — and what you can do to qualify in the future. No mystery rejections, no vague responses. Real feedback, always.

03
Industry-Leading Approval Rate

Our 72% approval rate is among the highest in alternative SMB lending. We work harder to find a yes than other lenders work to find a no.
