Your business funding position
Business cards are open to you today. Lines of credit clear: your revenue and your time in business both meet the floor. Term loans clear with a flag. SBA loans are a future option.
The four categories
- Business cardsEstimate $40K to $75KOpen to you
- Lines of creditEstimate $34K to $67KOpen to you
- Term loansYour revenue meets the $204,000 a year floor some term loans use, not the $480,000 floor of others, so verified revenue decides which products you reach.Open with a flag
- SBA loansYour business clears the 24-month floor and the revenue bar; your highest bureau score sits at 741, so the full SBA position waits on a filed return and a lender conversation.SBA is a future option for you: your time in business and your revenue already clear, and the one gap is a filed return a lender can underwrite against.Not yet

Before you apply
- The relationship stepKeep your business checking account active at Example Valley Bank and run the studio's deposits through it. Your account is over a year old, so the bank already has the history it reads.
- Which bureau leadsTransUnion leads: it is your strongest bureau at 741 with no recent hard inquiries on it. Round 1 reads TransUnion first, then Experian, so no single bureau carries more than three recent inquiries before the next lender reads it.
- Before round oneBefore you apply, bring the travel card under 30 percent of its limit (see the action item titled Pay the travel card down below 30% utilization in your personal analysis). Keep every open card between 10 and 20 percent of its limit, none above 30, none at zero.
- Inquiries and timingFundReadi's pull of your file is a soft pull, so checking never affects your score. Each application in this plan is a hard inquiry on the bureau that decides. Applications on different bureaus can go in the same few days. Two steps that read the same bureau wait for the first decision, and each round starts at least 90 days after the one before. After a decline, wait 30 to 90 days before the same lender again, and read the letter to fix what it names.
Round 1
- Step 1: Example Valley Bank Example Business Rewards VisaIt reads TransUnion, your strongest bureau at 741 with no recent inquiries, and it is the bank that holds your business checking.Bureau: Our lender reference lists TransUnion for this lender, your strongest bureau.Terms: No annual fee. A 0 percent intro offer runs 9 months on purchases, then the standard rate of 17.99 to 27.99 percent applies from that month forward.Next: Can go in the same few days as the next step. The next step reads Experian, so both can go in the same few days.TransUnion
- Step 2: Example Ridge Bank Example Ridge Business Cash CardIt reads Experian, your second bureau at 698 with two June inquiries, so it follows the TransUnion step. Example Ridge and Example Lake share one underwriter, so treat them as one application and pick one.Bureau: In applications we have seen across this lender's issuing platform, it pulls Experian.Terms: The annual fee is 95 dollars with the first year at 0, and the APR is priced as a spread over Prime, with no fixed rate printed on the product page.Also: Same underwriter, pick one: Example Lake Bank (Example Lake Business Platinum).Next: Wait until December 11, 2026 or 90 days after your last round 1 application, whichever comes later, so new accounts settle and the inquiry counts ease before round 2.Experian
Round 2
- Step 3: Example Harbor Credit Union Example Harbor Business VisaCredit union, placed in round 2. Equifax sits at 712 with no recent inquiries, so this pull lands on a quiet bureau.Bureau: Our lender reference lists Equifax for this lender.Terms: No annual fee and an APR range of 14.50 to 18.00 percent. No intro offer is published, so confirm before applying.Check: Confirm you live or work in its area before you apply.Next: This is the last step in the plan.Equifax
