Can an LLC Get a Loan Without Income?
An LLC can get a loan without income only in limited cases, and it is worth being direct about that: business lenders underwrite repayment, and an LLC with no income has no repayment source to show.
This guide is part of our full library on Business Loans. Start there for the complete lineup, then come back for the deep dive on your situation.

50+ Lenders|Funding in as little as 24 hours
The Full Answer
The exceptions that genuinely exist. Equipment financing: lenders will fund the purchase of trucks, machinery, or hardware for a no-income LLC because the asset secures the loan and your personal credit backs it. SBA microloans: designed for early-stage businesses, in smaller amounts. Venture debt: available if your LLC has raised equity funding. And personal-credit-based financing: the lender is really underwriting you, not the LLC, and you will sign personally either way.
What will not work: applying to standard term loan, line of credit, or working capital lenders with an empty business bank account. Those products require deposit history, usually 3–6 months minimum.
The fastest way to change your answer is revenue, even modest revenue. A few months of consistent deposits moves your LLC from nearly unfundable into a market where lenders fund businesses doing $10K a month.

Important Disclosures
Quordx Capital is a business funding broker, not a lender. We facilitate introductions between U.S. small and medium-sized businesses and lenders or capital providers in our network. All credit decisions, funding amounts, rates, fees, repayment terms, and timelines are determined solely by individual lenders based on their own underwriting criteria.
Funding figures and timelines shown on this page are illustrative and represent ranges within our lender network, they are not guarantees and individual outcomes may vary based on business profile, industry, time in business, revenue, credit history, and lender availability. Not all applicants qualify for every product.
The initial inquiry does not impact your personal credit score. Some lenders may perform a hard credit pull during underwriting; Quordx only authorizes such checks with your specific consent for the lender presenting an offer. Applicants are protected under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) from discrimination based on race, color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, age, or because all or part of an applicant's income derives from any public-assistance program.
This Site is intended for commercial, business-purpose financing for U.S. businesses only. Not available for consumer loans, residential mortgages, or owner-occupied real estate. Quordx may receive compensation from lenders when applications result in funded transactions. This does not change the rate, fee, or terms offered to you. See our Advertiser Disclosure for details.
By submitting an application or contact information, you consent to be contacted by Quordx and its lending partners via phone, text, and email, including by automated means, regarding your funding inquiry. Consent is not a condition of receiving funding. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out. See our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
