Who This Is For

Who Personal Loans Make Sense For

Personal loans are often the backbone of our clients' funding, especially for franchise buyers and startups.

  • You need a lump sum for a one-time cost like a franchise fee, equipment, or build-out
  • You don't have a business entity yet, or your business is too new for bank loans
  • You want a predictable monthly payment instead of a revolving balance
  • You have strong credit and verifiable income
How It Works

How Using Personal Loans for Business Works

A personal loan is underwritten on you: your credit score, credit history, income, and debt-to-income ratio. Terms commonly run a few years, with a fixed rate and payment. Amounts vary by lender, and many people qualify with more than one.

Your Options

Personal Loan Options We Compare

These are the main types of lenders and products we look at for business-purpose personal borrowing.

Online lenders

Fast decisions and funding, often within a few days. Several allow business use. Rates and limits vary a lot based on your profile.

Banks

Can offer strong rates for existing customers with good relationships. Some are stricter on loan purpose and income documentation.

Credit unions

Often competitive rates and flexible underwriting. Membership requirements apply, and some are open to almost anyone.

Co-borrower loans

Some lenders allow a co-borrower, which can raise the amount you qualify for. Both people are fully responsible for the debt.

Qualifications

What It Takes to Qualify

Lenders weigh credit and income heavily for personal loans. Our strongest results come from clients with:

  • A 700+ credit score
  • No late payments, collections, or charge-offs
  • At least 5 accounts on your credit report
  • Verifiable income and a manageable debt-to-income ratio
  • Few recent inquiries

Self-employed? Lenders will usually look at your tax returns, and write-offs can lower your qualifying income. We'll factor that in when we pick lenders.
