Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

Get answers to the most common questions about our financing platform and process.

Clear answers before you apply. No credit impact during pre-screening.

What types of businesses qualify for financing?

We facilitate financing for businesses across all major industries and business structures. Qualification criteria vary by lender and product type, but generally include minimum revenue thresholds, time in business, and creditworthiness standards. Our advisors assess your specific situation to identify appropriate financing options.

What is the typical timeline from application to funding?

Preliminary decisions are typically delivered within 24 hours of completed application submission. Final approval and funding timelines vary by product type and lender requirements. Alternative financing products often fund within 3-7 business days, while SBA loans typically require 2-4 weeks due to government underwriting processes.

What credit profile is required for approval?

Credit requirements vary significantly by lender and product type. Traditional bank products typically require personal credit scores of 680 or higher, while alternative lending partners may approve businesses with scores as low as 600. We evaluate your complete financial profile to identify lenders aligned with your credit standing.

What fees does BestLoanUSA charge?

BestLoanUSA does not charge upfront application fees or consultation fees. Any fees associated with specific loan products are charged directly by the lending institution and are fully disclosed prior to loan acceptance. We maintain complete transparency regarding all costs throughout the process.

How do bank and non-bank lenders differ?

Traditional banks typically offer lower interest rates but maintain stricter qualification criteria and longer approval timelines. Non-bank lenders provide faster decisions with more flexible underwriting but may charge higher rates. Our platform provides access to both, allowing you to evaluate the full spectrum of available options.

What are the borrowing limits?

Available capital ranges from $10,000 to $10 million or more, depending on product type, business financial strength, and lender criteria. During the application review process, our advisors help determine appropriate loan amounts based on your stated needs and qualification parameters.
