Business funding requirements | Berkley Financial Group

Business funding requirements

Most owners assume they won’t qualify. Most of them are wrong.

1 year in business. $25,000 a month. 600 credit.

That’s the starting line, and most established businesses clear it.

  • No hard credit pull
  • Clear terms before you sign
  • No obligation application

Requirements

The baseline

Every funder sets its own bar, and knowing which ones bend where is part of our job.

Time in business1 year

Short on one and strong everywhere else is still a conversation. If you’re close, apply and let us look.

Strengthening your file

What makes an application stronger

  • Consistent deposits

    Steady revenue across the month reads better than the same total in two lumps.

  • A clean three months

    The steadier your account activity, the more of the market opens up.

  • A clear position picture

    Nothing outstanding, or existing positions close to paid off.

  • A specific use for the money

    “Materials for a $340,000 job starting the fifteenth” reads as a plan.

  • Two years in business

    The jump from one year to two opens up meaningfully more funders.

What we’d have you work on

  • Under a year in business

    Some funders will look. We know which ones, and we’ll tell you what waiting buys you.

  • Several open positions

    Each one narrows the field. We’ll show you the math before you add another.

  • Revenue outside the business account

    If money moves through personal accounts or cash, an underwriter can’t see it. Routing it through the business changes your file fast.

  • A restricted industry

    Some categories sit outside most panels. You’ll hear that from us in the first conversation.

This is the part most brokers skip. We’ll tell you which one to work on first, and what it opens up.

Documents

What you’ll need

  • The short application

    Basic business details, ownership, and what the money is for. About three minutes.

  • Three months of bank statements

    The PDFs your bank already generates, all pages included.

  • Nothing else yet

    A voided check and ID come after we’ve talked.

Send your numbers as they are

A slow month doesn’t disqualify you, and neither does a rough patch in the account.

We’d rather see it now and price it properly than have it surface later. Either way you’ll know today.

Not sure if you qualify?

Most owners who ask us that question do. Three minutes settles it.

Apply in minutes. Fast approvals, 24 hour funding.
