Common Questions

Does pre-qualifying affect my credit score?

No. The initial pre-qualification process does not require a hard credit pull.

How fast can I get funded?

Depending on the funding type and lender, approvals can happen in as little as 24 hours. Traditional SBA loans take longer, typically 30–90 days.

Is there a cost to use BusinessLoan.Directory?

No. Our service is free to business owners. We are compensated by our lending partners when a loan is funded.

What credit score do I need?

Requirements vary by lender and product. Some products are available with scores as low as 550. We will match you with lenders appropriate for your profile.
