🔒 Soft credit pull · will not affect your credit score

Short answer: A contractor advance is approved by reviewing your last 3 months of bank statements — monthly deposits, ending balances, negative days, and existing advances. Strong, consistent deposits and few negative days drive a bigger, cheaper offer. Contractor Capital Advance approves in hours, FICO 500+, funds in 24 hours.

Frequently asked questions

What do I need to get approved for an advance?
Three months of business bank statements showing consistent deposits, an EIN, and a business bank account. Strong deposits and few negative days improve the offer.
How fast can I get funded?
Most contractors fund within 24 hours of approval; the application takes about 5 minutes with a soft credit pull.
Do I need good credit?
No — FICO 500+ can qualify because approval is weighted toward revenue and deposits.
Is this a business loan or a cash advance?
Both are available. The right structure depends on your revenue, credit, and how you prefer to repay — fixed payments or a share of your deposits. We show you the options you qualify for before you commit.
What can I use the funds for?
Any legitimate business purpose — payroll, materials, equipment, mobilization, covering the gap between draws, or growth. There are no restrictions on how you deploy working capital.
Are there any upfront fees to apply?
No. Applying and getting a decision is free, and any fees are disclosed in your offer before you accept — so there are no surprises.
