Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the application take?
Our online application takes about 5 minutes to complete. You'll need basic business information and 3 months of bank statements. No tax returns or business plans are required upfront.
Will applying hurt my credit score?
No. We use a soft credit pull for pre-qualification which does not affect your credit score. A hard pull only occurs if you choose to formally accept a specific lender's offer.
What documents do I need to apply?
For the initial application, you need: 3 months of business bank statements, a valid ID, and basic business information (name, address, EIN). Some lenders may request additional documents during underwriting.
How soon will I hear back?
Most applicants receive their first offer within 24 hours of submitting a complete application. Some offers may come through in as little as a few hours.
Can I apply if my business is new?
Yes. While most lenders prefer at least 6 months in business, some partners work with businesses as young as 3 months old. Revenue and bank statements matter more than time in business for many lenders.
What if I'm denied?
If one lender declines, others may still approve. Our platform submits your application to multiple lenders simultaneously. We also provide feedback on how to strengthen your application for future attempts.
Is there a fee to apply?
No. Applying through FundingEstimate is 100% free. There are no application fees, processing fees, or hidden charges. Lenders pay us — you never do.
