*Sample amounts shown. Your actual offer depends on your business and is reviewed before approval.

The process, broken into numbers you can check

Step one takes five minutes

A 5-minute application plus about three months of statements. No tax returns, and qualified businesses can be funded in as little as 24 hours.

Review weighs revenue heavily

A soft pull starts things off. FICO 500+ is considered, and your deposits shape what can be offered.

The offer shows the whole cost

Before you accept, you see the full repayment amount. Nothing is added after you sign.

Repayment is set before you commit

Your schedule is laid out in the offer, so you can test it against your cash flow first.

The short version

You fill out a 5-minute application, share about three months of business bank statements, and a reviewer at Merchant Fund Express, our funding partner, looks at how money moves through your account. If your business qualifies, you receive an offer that lays out the amount, cost and repayment structure. You decide. If you sign, funding can arrive in as little as 24 hours for qualified businesses.

The process starts with a soft credit pull and does not require tax returns.

Step 1: Know the four products

Working capital

A lump sum for operating needs, repaid on a set schedule. More on working capital.

Merchant cash advance

An advance against future sales, collected as a share of revenue or fixed remittances. More on MCAs.

Business line of credit

A limit you draw against as needed; you generally pay on what you use. More on lines of credit.

Equipment financing

Funding tied to a specific asset, which typically secures the deal. More on equipment financing.

Step 2: How a file is reviewed

Reviewers care about whether the business can comfortably handle repayment. That means looking at average monthly deposits, how consistent they are, daily balances, and any existing advances or loans. Credit matters, but FICO from 500 is considered, which is why this program serves established businesses doing $60K or more a month whose credit is still a work in progress. See the full list of what funders look at.

Step 3: Size the request

Ask for what the plan needs, not the largest number possible. For illustration:

GoalCost of goalSensible request
Hire two technicians for 3 months$48,000$50,000
Bulk inventory at a volume discount$120,000$100,000 plus cash on hand
New delivery van$65,000Equipment financing

Available amounts range from $25,000 to $5,000,000.

Step 4: Read the offer like an operator

If anything is unclear, ask before you sign.

Where credit repair fits

TrueCredit Partners offers credit repair as a separate service. It is not a step in the funding process and does not decide approval, and funding does not raise your score. Owners often run both tracks at once: apply based on revenue now, and keep building credit for future options. Begin your application when you are ready.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the business funding process take?

The application takes about 5 minutes. Qualified businesses can be funded in as little as 24 hours after review and signing.

What is the difference between a line of credit and working capital?

Working capital is a lump sum. A line of credit gives you a limit to draw from as needed.

Do I need to be incorporated?

No. Sole proprietors can apply, as long as the business has steady deposits.

Does funding help my credit score?

Funding and credit are separate. Do not expect funding to change your score; credit repair is its own service.

Working capital $45,000.00
Credit line draw $20,000.00
New equipment $58,000.00
Hiring ramp $33,500.00
