Startup Funding
Credit-based funding for new businesses without revenue history.
Startup funding helps brand-new businesses access capital before they have an established revenue or banking history. On a credit-based startup channel, qualification leans on the owner's personal credit rather than business financials — so it can fit a pre-revenue or newly formed business that wouldn't yet qualify for revenue-based products. Because it's credit-based, it doesn't impose the bank-statement and deposit requirements that revenue-based programs do.
Minimum Requirements & Program Details
These are starting requirements for selected programs. Availability and final terms depend on the funding partner and underwriting. Other options may be available. Meeting a minimum does not guarantee approval.
