Small Business Loans Bad Personal Credit
Your personal credit took a hit, but your business is performing, that mismatch is more common than you'd think, and it doesn't have to block you from funding. Many lenders underwrite the business's cash flow first and treat your personal FICO as secondary, especially for revenue-based and asset-backed products. Quordx Capital matches your application to the lenders in our 50+ network most willing to look past personal credit, with decisions in 24-48 hours and no cost to you.

How Does Funding With Bad Personal Credit Actually Work?
Lenders that emphasize business performance pull your last 3-6 months of bank statements and judge whether the business itself can support repayment. Strong, steady deposits can carry a file even when your personal score is in the 500s.
Where personal credit matters less, the financing typically costs more or requires collateral, that's the trade. We show the real cost upfront, never buried. Asset-backed products like equipment financing and factoring lean on the asset or your customers' credit rather than yours, which is why they're often the cleanest path when personal credit is the weak spot.
Which Funding Options Fit?
Merchant Cash Advance: Underwritten on card volume, light on personal credit, factor rates 1.1-1.5. Best for card-heavy businesses with weak personal scores. Cost shown upfront.
Equipment Financing: Secured by the equipment, reducing personal-credit weight, $5K, $5M+. Best for asset purchases despite a low FICO.
Invoice Factoring / A/R Financing: Advances against receivables, judged on your customers' credit more than yours. Best for B2B businesses with strong invoices.
