FAQs
Getting Started
Does applying for financing affect my personal credit score?
No. Applying for business financing with BorrowPartner does not affect your personal credit score. In some cases, lenders might request a “hard” credit pull, but it will be before transferring the funds to you and after you have reviewed and accepted their offer. To obtain and monitor your credit score today, BorrowPartner recommends MyScoreIQ.
What businesses qualify for working capital financing?
BorrowPartner works with established businesses that demonstrate consistent revenue and responsible financial management. Lenders typically look for:
- At least one full year of operating history
 - Regular business banking activity
 - Sufficient cash flow to support repayment
 - A credit profile that reflects sound financial practices
 
Exact requirements vary by financing type and industry. We review each application individually to match businesses with the most competitive options available.
What factors are considered besides FICO?
Besides personal credit scores, other factors that we consider include:
- Business revenues
 - Years in business
 - Industry
 - Total existing debt
 - Cash flow
 - Percentage of business owned
 - Business credit score
 - Payment history
 - and others…
 
What financing sizes do you offer?
Financing sizes and terms vary depending on the financing type and the borrowers’ profiles. Our financing sizes range from $100,000 to $75,000,000. Repayment terms vary from 1 to 30 years.

What information is required to apply for a new financing?
Required:
- Driver’s license – used to confirm identity
 - Recent business bank statements – typically the last three months, used to review deposits and revenue consistency
 - Voided business check – to set up funding and repayment
 
Sometimes requested:
- Prior year tax return – may be required for larger requests or additional underwriting
 - Merchant processing statements – used when credit-card sales are part of your business revenue
 
Non-working-capital financings, such as SBA, or factoring programs, or Real Estate may require additional documentation. You will be able to upload the necessary documents directly during the online application. Our advisors will let you know if anything else is needed.
Application Process
How long does the application process take?
Processing time varies based on the types of financing. Working capital loans and lines of credit are generally the fastest, sometimes within a day or two. SBA financing will typically take longer. Other financings are subject to due diligence and vary on a case-by-case basis. Contact us for specific information about your loan. In all cases, complete applications are generally reviewed within one business day, and offers are sent to you as soon as they are received from the lenders. After you select and return your preferred offer, the funds are typically deposited in your account within 1 business day, sometimes within a few business hours. Find out more about how it works.
How long will it take to receive the funds in my account?
Depending on the financing type and capital sources, you may receive your money as quickly as one business day after approval. You will also receive an automatic email notification of the transfer.
I want to be ready. Can I apply in advance?
Yes, you can. Business lines of credit allow you to draw down funds as needed. You can apply even if you don’t need the funds right away. Securing a line of credit early will ensure your funds are available when needed.
About Your Financing
Am I limited in the way that I spend my business financing funds?
You are free to spend your funds on any purpose as long as it is related to your business.
Can I factor invoices if I already have a business loan?
We would need to review it, but, in most cases, yes. If you already pledged your accounts receivable, we would need to work with your current lender to structure a subordination agreement.
Can I receive more than one working capital financing?
You may qualify for additional capital if:
- You repaid 50% or more of your last financing,
 - You didn’t choose the maximum amount in your prior financing, or
 - Your company revenue increased significantly since your last financing.
 
Compare invoice factoring and asset-based lending
In both cases, working capital is issued against a collateral. Invoice factoring requires the sale of accounts receivable at a slight discount. Asset-based lending (ABL) does not require such a transfer of assets. Instead, with ABL, assets are collateralized and monitored against the working capital. The advance rate (the percentage of the asset’s value guiding the working capital amount provided) is often lower with ABL.

Who is BorrowPartner?
BorrowPartner is an awesome business financing brokerage platform. We identify, customize, and secure the very best financing solutions for our small and midsize business clients. We are easy to work with, we are available, we are flexible, and we are pleasant.

Why work with BorrowPartner?
We are experts at what we do, and we do it well.
Banks require weeks to complete an application, demand a collateral, and are slow to respond. Venture Capital firms dilute your equity in your own business and sometimes even take over. Direct lenders offer limited selections of financing products that they don’t adapt to your needs. Some don’t even fully disclose their fees.
At BorrowPartner, our financing recommendations are based on your business needs – not on anyone else’s, our easy application takes minutes, and there are no surprises. We minimize the paperwork requirements. We bring you the best available financing options available for your business. We reduce the time to access funds.

Warning
If you previously received funding for your business from a different financing platform, we recommend you brace yourself for a shockingly different experience when working with BorrowPartner.
Working with us might be simpler than expected, save you money, and even be fun. It might even compel you to return for more funding as you grow your business.
