Frequently asked questions
5 answers to the questions we hear most. Don't see yours? Call and a specialist will walk you through it.
For most San Francisco businesses, the short answer is yes — but the details matter. With small business loans we look at revenue consistency over the last 3–6 months, time in business, and how the requested amount lines up with your monthly deposits. Borrowers who meet our basic thresholds (6+ months operating, $10K+/mo revenue, 550+ FICO) typically get a same-day soft-pull decision. Edge cases get a human underwriter review, not an algorithm rejection.
Yes — early payoff is encouraged on most small business loans structures we place, and we steer borrowers away from programs with steep prepayment penalties unless the trade-off makes sense. Always ask for the prepayment schedule in writing before signing. We include it on every offer summary so there are no surprises.
Most San Francisco borrowers qualify with 6+ months in business, $10K+ in monthly revenue, and an active US business bank account. Newer businesses can still qualify through startup-friendly programs, equipment financing, or invoice factoring — different doors, same goal. We'll tell you which door fits before you spend an hour on an application.
Yes. small business loans can be used for almost any legitimate business purpose in San Francisco: hiring, inventory, equipment, marketing, opening a second location, refinancing higher-cost debt, or smoothing payroll through a slow quarter. We'll structure the term and payment around what you're funding so you're not paying long-term interest on a short-term need.
Applying with us is a soft credit pull only, which does NOT affect your score. A hard pull happens only after you accept a specific lender's offer and move to funding. That means you can compare real offers across our panel without burning credit inquiries — a problem most online aggregators create the moment you hit submit.
