Get the funding question right before you apply.
Nine funding products through one application. Based in Colorado Springs, working with businesses across the United States and Canada. I'll tell you which product fits your situation, whether you clear the requirements, and I'll tell you plainly when the answer is "not yet" — because applying for the wrong thing wastes your time and gets us both nowhere.
What I actually do
The wrong product is an expensive mistake.
And that choice gets made before anything is submitted. That's where I come in — one call and you'll know:
- Which option actually fits what you need
- Whether you meet the requirements
- Whether now is the right time to apply
The right product the first time
Nine products, and they're not interchangeable. If you're buying equipment, the equipment itself can secure the deal. Put that same purchase on a cash advance and you pay far more for it. Ten minutes on the phone sorts that out before anything gets submitted.
I'll tell you not to apply
If you don't clear the thresholds, I'll say so. I'd rather lose the application than waste your week and watch it come back declined. That's why the requirements are published right here on this page.
A person, not a call center
I'm in Colorado Springs and I answer my own phone. I'll ask what your business does and how money moves through it, because what fits a dental practice won't fit a trucking company. A form can't tell me that.
Find your fit
Four questions. Then you'll know where you stand.
Nothing here touches your credit and no email is required to see the answer. Pre-qualification doesn't require a hard credit pull with many non-bank lenders — it just gives you a realistic sense of your approval odds without damaging your score. This is the same conversation we'd have on the phone; I've put it here so you can have it at 10pm without waiting for me to pick up.
What every business needs to qualify: at least one year in business, $35,000 a month in revenue, and a 550 credit score. Startups are not normally funded — call me and we'll discuss your specific situation. SBA runs the other way: two years in business, a 680 score, and two years of profitable tax returns.
Before you apply
What it takes to qualify.
Published plainly, because finding this out after a declined application is a waste of your time. Checking where you stand first costs you nothing.
Everything except SBA
- At least 1 year in business
- $35,000 average monthly revenue
- 550+ credit score
- Business bank account with consistent deposits
- US or Canadian registered business
Below $35,000 a month is declined regardless of product — including equipment, where people often assume the collateral changes things. It doesn't. It is also the requirement most likely to change on its own, because it moves with your revenue. Call anyway and I'll tell you which of the three you're closest to and what changes it.
SBA 7(a), 504 and Express
- At least 2 years in business
- 680+ credit score
- 2 years of profitable business tax returns
- The revenue minimum still applies
- 30–90 days, or 3–8 weeks for Express
The profitable-returns requirement is the one people most often miss. If your accountant has been doing a good job of minimizing what you show, that is the thing most likely to stop an SBA file — and it takes two tax years to undo. Which is the argument for deciding now rather than later: if a building purchase is anywhere in your two-year plan, the returns you file this year are the ones underwriting will read. Everything except SBA is open to you meanwhile.
Startups
- Normally not funded on their own
- Exceptions considered case by case
- Strongest case: you already own an established business
Give me a call so we can discuss your specific situation and I'll try to get you qualified. It's a real conversation, not an automatic no.
Funding options
Nine products through one application.
You don't need to know which one you want. That's the part I do — and picking wrong is expensive, so it's worth a ten-minute conversation before anyone submits anything.
How it works
Three steps, and the first one costs you nothing but ten minutes.
We talk first
Ten minutes on the phone. What the money is for, what the business actually banks each month, and whether there's anything already stacked on top of it. If you're not ready, I'll tell you to wait — that's the call working properly.
One application, then documents
Five steps, about three minutes. Then bank statements — the application tells you how many months. Getting those documents back is the step I'll chase you on, because a file that sits doesn’t get funded.
Underwriting takes it from there
Once your file is complete it goes to an underwriting team, and they handle the review, the decision and presenting whatever they can offer you. Amounts, rates and terms are theirs to set. Worth knowing upfront so the handoff isn't a surprise.
Start here
Stop guessing what you qualify for.
This is the short form. It tells me what you need and roughly when, and it gives me enough to call you back with something useful rather than a list of questions. The full application is five steps and takes about three minutes — you can go straight there instead if you'd rather.
Who I work with
Any industry. The same three requirements.
The products aren't industry-specific and neither am I. If your business has been operating a year, banks $35,000 a month and clears 550, the door is open — it doesn't matter what you do. A restaurant, a machine shop, a dental practice and a trucking company hit the same three requirements, and the nine products are the same nine. What changes is which one fits, and that's the conversation.
Based in Colorado Springs and working the Front Range in person — but the products are available to businesses across the United States and Canada, so distance isn't a reason not to call.
Questions
The things people actually ask.
What does this cost me?
How fast can I actually get funded?
Will this hurt my credit?
My revenue is under $35,000 a month. Anything at all?
I already have two advances. Am I stuck?
Why wouldn't I just go to my bank?
Is my industry a problem?
Are you the one lending me the money?
Next step
Ten minutes on the phone, or apply online right now.
If you're not sure which, call. It costs you nothing, it doesn't touch your credit, and I'll tell you honestly whether it's worth applying at all — which is the part that actually saves you something.
