Startup Business Funding — No Minimum Time in Business or Revenue

Startup funding underwrites *you* — your credit profile and your plan — because the business has no history to underwrite. There is no minimum time in business and no revenue minimum, but the credit bar is real at 650+ FICO. This is how most first locations, first trucks and first build-outs actually get paid for.

Program guidelines shown are our lending partners' published minimums as of September 2026 and can change. They are qualification floors, not an offer.

Who this is right for

  • Pre-revenue or first-year businesses with a strong personal credit profile
  • Franchisees funding an initial build-out and fee
  • Owners who would rather not give up equity for their first $50,000–$150,000
  • Buying a business rather than starting one from scratch

How it works

  1. We look at your personal credit profile, your capital, and what the money is for.
  2. Structures can combine unsecured credit lines, an SBA-adjacent path, and equipment financing.
  3. Terms run 12 months to 5 years.
  4. Underwriting is hours, not weeks.

What to watch out for

Every figure on this page is a published program minimum from our lending partner network, not an offer. Your terms come from underwriting.
Straight answers

Startup Funding — straight answers

Can I get a business loan with no revenue?
Yes — startup programs have no minimum monthly gross sales and no minimum time in business. They lean on your personal credit, so 650+ FICO is the published floor.
What is the fastest way to fund a brand-new business?
If you are buying equipment, equipment financing is easier than a loan because the asset secures it — and it has no time-in-business minimum. Otherwise, startup programs on the strength of your personal credit.
How much can a startup get?
The published range is $10,000 to $5 million, but a realistic first approval for a pre-revenue business with good personal credit is far closer to the bottom of that range. Anyone promising you the top of it is selling, not underwriting.
