A retail-heavy city
Roseville has encouraged large retail centers, including one of the largest auto malls in the country, and sales tax from that retail has helped the city keep pace with fast population growth. The result is a mix of housing, small and large employers, and shopping, plus attractions like Roseville Golfland SunSplash. It is the third-largest city in the Sacramento area.
Around that retail base sit the businesses that service it: detailers, body and repair shops, sign makers, cleaning crews, restaurants and franchise tenants. Their margins are tied to consumer spending, and when spending slows, owners often absorb it on personal credit.
When the damage happened matters
A score is a single number, but the report behind it has dates. Lower-score files are easier to read when the problem is clearly in the past.
| Situation | How it tends to read |
|---|---|
| Late payments two or more years ago, clean since | An old problem the business has recovered from |
| High card balances now, payments on time | Cash is tight but obligations are being met |
| New late payments in the last few months | A reviewer will look closely at current deposits for the cause |
| Several new financing accounts opened recently | A question of how much the business is already carrying |
This table describes general reading, not a rule set. Every file is reviewed on its own.
Your bank statements do the rest
We ask for about three months of business bank statements, and no tax returns are required. Regular deposits from card sales or customer payments, balances that hold between them, and few returned items help a lower-score file. The pull at application is soft, the application takes about 5 minutes, and sole proprietors can apply.
Before you submit
Pull your own credit report and look for the dates on any late payments or collections, so you can describe them accurately. Then read your last three business statements the way a stranger would. Mark any deposit that is not a sale, such as an owner transfer or a refund, and be ready to explain long low-balance stretches. Finally, write down what the money will do and how the revenue from it pays it back. Those three steps take an evening and make a lower-score file far easier to review.
What to expect
Funding ranges from $25,000 to $5,000,000, and approved files can be funded in as little as 24 hours. We cannot promise approval, and a lower score may mean a smaller offer or higher cost. A good use is one that pays itself back: stock ahead of a busy retail stretch, a lift for a repair bay, a deposit on a second location you have already priced out.
