Who qualifies for small business loans in California

Every company is unique. We evaluate the whole picture, not just a credit score.

  • Time in business and monthly revenue trends

  • Business bank statements and recent financials

  • Credit history and existing obligations

  • Collateral, if applicable, for secured facilities

  • Purpose of funds and expected ROI

You do not need perfect credit to get approved. Strong cash flow and healthy deposits can help you qualify for better terms.

How much can you borrow and what affects your rate

Loan amounts are based on revenue, cash flow, industry, and time in business. Your final rate and term depend on risk factors such as credit performance, average daily balances, repayment history, and whether collateral is pledged. Many programs offer early payoff flexibility, which can reduce your total cost if you retire the balance ahead of schedule.
