FAQ

Your questions, answered.

How fast can funding happen?

That depends on the product. Working capital loans and some short-term structures can move inside days. SBA and more documentation-heavy files usually take longer.

Do I need to know the exact product first?

No. In many cases the better starting point is the use of proceeds, timeline, and repayment tolerance rather than the product name.

What usually matters most for approval?

Revenue visibility, time in business, documentation quality, credit profile, collateral where relevant, and whether the structure fits the actual need.

What should I send before the first call?

The amount needed, use of proceeds, timing, and basic business profile are enough to start. The application checklist shows the best prep.
