Our initial pre-qualification uses only a soft credit pull, which does NOT affect your credit score. You can safely explore your options.

When Does a Hard Pull Occur?

  • You accept an offer from one of our lending partners
  • You proceed with the lender's formal application process
  • You provide explicit consent for the hard inquiry

This gives you the freedom to see what you qualify for without worrying about impacting your credit.

Required Documents

For the initial pre-qualification, you typically don't need any documents—just basic business information.

If You Move Forward with a Lender

They may request some or all of the following:

  • Business bank statements (last 3-6 months)
  • Government-issued ID (driver's license or passport)
  • Proof of business ownership (articles of incorporation, business license)
  • Tax returns (business and/or personal, last 1-2 years)
  • Voided check or bank letter for direct deposit

Requirements vary by lender and loan type. SBA loans typically require more documentation than short-term financing.

Bank statements should be:

  • PDF format (preferred) or high-quality images
  • Complete statements showing all pages
  • Official bank documents downloaded from your online banking
  • Clearly legible with all information visible

Important

Screenshots or partial statements may not be accepted. Make sure to download the official PDF from your bank's website or mobile app.

If you don't have physical checks, you can provide alternatives:

  • Bank letter on official letterhead confirming your account and routing numbers
  • Direct deposit form from your bank
  • Account verification document from your online banking
  • Bank statement showing your account and routing numbers

Contact your bank if you need help obtaining these documents—most banks can provide them quickly.
