Is FundBetter a lender or a marketplace? Both roles can apply. It helps a business get funded and may connect it with vetted third-party lenders and funding partners where that produces a better fit. Either way the business works through one advisor and one application.
Does applying affect a credit score? Checking options uses a soft inquiry, which does not affect the score. A hard inquiry only happens later, with permission, if the applicant proceeds with certain offers.
What does it cost to apply? Nothing, and there is no obligation. Cost only applies if an offer is accepted, and every cost is disclosed before signing.
How much can a business borrow? Between $5,000 and $5 million. The amount depends on revenue, time in business and the product chosen. Most working capital offers land between $10,000 and $500,000.
Can a business with poor credit qualify? Often. Revenue and time in operation carry significant weight, and several products are built for owners with less than perfect credit. A score near 500 is a common starting point.
How fast is funding? Approval is often the same day, and funds can reach an account in as little as 24 hours. Timing depends on the product and how quickly documents are returned.
