Why this exists

Why the usual lenders say no.

Your revenue is real. The problem is the form. Here is why traditional underwriting turns away healthy operators in this space, and what we do differently.

01

Lack of payroll

Traditional banks reject you because you do not have W-2 employees.

Our lenders analyze gross receipts and contract history instead of payroll size.
02

Short time in business

Big lenders demand five years of tax returns for any loan approval.

Many partners provide funding to contractors with at least six months of activity.
03

Personal-only profile

You have strong personal credit but no business credit footprint.

We prioritize lenders that value your specific revenue streams over legacy business credit.

The best cards depend on your monthly spending and revenue. Look for products that report to commercial bureaus rather than personal ones to build your business credit score effectively. Many options offer cashback on business-related expenses.
