Revenue consistency
Stable business deposits can help explain current operating strength beyond an older credit event.
Funding with challenged credit
Bad Credit Business Loans
A lower credit score does not tell the whole business story—but it can affect available products, amount, cost, and terms. Start with revenue, cash flow, existing obligations, and a repayment plan the business can actually support.
Check eligibilityCredit is one factor—not the only factor.
Time in business
A longer operating history may give an underwriter more evidence across seasons and business cycles.
Existing obligations
Current loans, advances, liens, and payment frequency affect remaining cash-flow capacity.
Recent bank activity
Overdrafts, returned payments, deposit concentration, and declining balances may affect the review.
Use of funds
A defined use tied to revenue, efficiency, or a necessary operating expense is easier to evaluate.
Credit context
Recent payment behavior and a concise explanation of material events can matter alongside the score.

Do not hide existing obligations or send sensitive documents through this public page.
- Recent complete business bank statements
- Current debt, advance, lien, and payment schedule
- Monthly revenue and normal operating expenses
- A precise use-of-funds amount and expected benefit
- Supporting quote, invoice, contract, or purchase order
- Brief factual context for significant credit events
Possible paths depend on the business profile.
Revenue-focused working capital
May place more weight on business deposits and cash flow; cost and payment frequency require close review.
Equipment financing
The financed equipment commonly supports the transaction, though credit and guarantees may still matter.
Invoice factoring
Eligible B2B receivables and customer creditworthiness may be central because the transaction purchases invoices.
Secured or guaranteed programs
Collateral, a guarantee, or a qualified guarantor may expand options, but increases the obligations at risk.
Secure eligibility check
Start with a soft-pull inquiry.
An inquiry does not guarantee approval or terms.
Set realistic expectations before applying.
Can a business qualify with bad personal credit?
Possibly. Some products consider revenue and deposit history alongside credit, but challenged credit can reduce options or increase cost. Approval is never guaranteed.
What credit score does a business need?
There is no single score for every product. Funding partners set different thresholds and also consider revenue, time in business, cash flow, existing obligations, and recent payment history.
Will checking eligibility lower my score?
The initial Now Biz Fund inquiry does not use a hard credit pull. A funding partner may later request credit authorization; ask whether it is a soft or hard inquiry before agreeing.
How can an owner strengthen the application?
Provide complete statements, disclose existing obligations, avoid inconsistencies, explain material credit events factually, and request an amount supported by a conservative cash-flow view.
Are bad-credit business products more expensive?
They can be. Risk, product structure, payment frequency, term, collateral, and underwriting all affect cost. Compare total repayment and cash-flow impact, not only a quoted rate or factor.
Is Now Biz Fund a lender?
Now Biz Fund is a small-business funding broker. It may connect eligible applicants with funding partners but does not guarantee an offer, amount, cost, product, or timeline.
