🔒 Soft credit pull · will not affect your credit score

Reviewed by the Contractor Capital Advance team · Updated July 2026

Can a contractor get funded with bad credit?

Yes. Contractors with bad or fair credit (FICO 500+) can get funded because approval is based on monthly revenue and bank-deposit consistency — not credit score. Contractor Capital Advance funds credit-challenged businesses from $5,000 to $5,000,000, in as little as 24 hours, with a soft credit pull that doesn't affect your score.
