> Bad credit, no revenue, no collateral, a bank decline, a tax bill or a cash flow gap. Find out which lenders will still consider you and what it will cost.

Most business owners do not fit the profile a bank wants. Your credit is bruised, the company is new, there is nothing to pledge, or you need the money this week. Each page below gives you the straight answer: whether you can get funded, who will consider you, who will decline you so you stop wasting applications, and what it will cost compared with a standard borrower.

## Key facts
- **Standard borrower:** 2 years in business, 680 credit, $250,000 revenue, profitable
- **Most common gaps:** Credit under 650, under two years, no collateral, a cash flow emergency
- **What that costs:** Typically 1.5 to 3 times the rate a standard borrower pays

## How lenders decide, and why your situation matters

Every lender runs the same four checks: time in business, revenue, credit, and what happens if you stop paying. A standard borrower passes all four and gets bank pricing. Miss one and you move to lenders that price for that gap: short term lenders for thin credit, revenue based lenders for young companies, factoring and equipment lenders for no collateral. Miss two or three and your options narrow to the most expensive products. [Business loan requirements](https://businessloanbroker.ai/guides/business-loan-requirements/) explains each check and [why loans get denied](https://businessloanbroker.ai/guides/why-loans-get-denied/) explains the fixes.

## How to use these pages

Pick the situation that describes you best. If two apply, read both, because the products that consider you are the ones that accept both gaps, and the list gets short. Each page ranks products by fit, names the ones that will decline you, and gives a 30, 90 and 180 day plan to improve your odds. Then check your [industry page](https://businessloanbroker.ai/industries/), since the same situation plays differently for a dentist and a restaurant. One application here reaches lenders in every category.

| Situation | Still open | Usually closed |
|---|---|---|
| Credit under 600 | MCA, factoring, equipment with a down payment | Banks, SBA, unsecured term loans |
| No revenue yet | SBA microloans, equipment, business credit cards | Everything that underwrites sales |
| No collateral | Unsecured loans, lines, revenue based, SBA 7(a) | Real estate and asset based lenders |
| Need money this week | MCA, short term loans, online lines, factoring | Banks and SBA |
| Under one year | Factoring, equipment, MCA after six months | Banks, most term lenders |

## Questions and answers
**What if more than one situation applies to me?**

Read each page and look for the products that appear on both lists of lenders who will consider you. Those are your realistic options. Apply once here and the matching does that work for you, showing the lenders that accept your combination rather than making you guess one product at a time.

**Will applying hurt my credit?**

Most online lenders and this site start with a soft inquiry that does not affect your score. A hard inquiry usually happens only when a specific lender moves to a final approval. Applying to many lenders separately, each with a hard pull, is what hurts.

**Can my AI assistant handle this for me?**

Yes. Each page is written so an assistant can read a section and give you a correct answer. Connect it to our MCP server through the [agents hub](https://businessloanbroker.ai/agents/) and it can read your documents, fill the application once, and match you with the lenders that accept your situation.
