$50K
A first step up for a growing business.
Which programs: All three programs can cover $50K. A line of credit suits ongoing costs, short-term funding suits one defined need, and long-term funding spreads a larger plan out.
What helps: Steady monthly deposits that comfortably cover the payment, and a bank account that shows the revenue.
Equipment, inventory, a second crew, a seasonal buildup.
Which programs: All three programs can cover $100K. The right one depends on whether the cost is one-time or recurring and how quickly you would repay.
What helps: Consistent deposits across your recent statements, and room in your cash flow after existing payments.
Which programs: Short-term funding (up to $1M) and long-term funding (US only, up to $3M) cover this amount. A line of credit does not. In Canada, long-term funding is not available.
What helps: Strong, consistent revenue, a payment the business can carry, and complete documents so the review moves without delays.
Most businesses qualify with $20,000 or more in average monthly revenue, at least 12 months in business (6 in Canada) and an active business bank account.
Does the amount change what I need to provide?
The documents are the same: recent business bank statements and a soft credit check to start. Larger amounts may need more detail, and your funding manager will tell you what is needed.
Will checking my eligibility affect my credit score?
No. Checking uses a soft credit pull. A hard check may be needed later for some programs and you will be told first.
Can I get $500K in Canada?
Short-term funding covers amounts up to $1M in the US and Canada. Long-term funding is available to US businesses only.
Which program is right for my amount?
Your funding manager helps you choose. Our business loans page compares all three side by side.
