Direct Answer: What are the requirements for business funding?

Generally, you need: 1) At least 6 months in business, 2) A business bank account, and 3) Monthly revenue of $15,000 or more. Personal credit is secondary to these cash flow metrics.


Wasting time applying for loans you'll never get. It's frustrating to fill out paperwork only to be told you're too new or too small.

Use this checklist to see where you stand. If you meet the 'Fairly Funded' basics, you have a high chance of approval.
