Questions, answered straight

Everything businesses actually ask us before applying, in one place. Can't find yours? Call and ask a human: (888) 555-0123.

Applying
What do I need to apply?+
Just the basics: your name, business name, monthly revenue, and time in business. Two minutes online or one phone call. Bank statements come later, only if you want to see offers.
Will applying hurt my credit?+
No. We use a soft inquiry, which never appears on your credit report and never affects your score. A hard pull would only ever happen later, with a specific funder, with your explicit consent.
What does it cost to apply?+
Nothing. Applying is free, offers are free, saying no is free. You only ever pay the cost stated in a funding agreement you choose to sign.
How fast will I hear back?+
An advisor calls you the same business day, and most complete files have offers within hours. Funding follows as fast as the same day for advances.
Qualifying
What are the minimum requirements?+
Six months in business, roughly $20K in monthly revenue, a business checking account, and a 500+ FICO. Different products layer on from there; each product page lists its specifics.
My credit is rough. Is this pointless?+
Not at all. Revenue and time in business carry more weight than credit for most of our products. Businesses with scores in the 500s get funded every day when the deposits are steady.
Do you work with my industry?+
Almost certainly. Restaurants, trucking, construction, retail, medical, auto, salons, e-commerce, manufacturing, and most everything between. A few categories are restricted by funders (adult, firearms, crypto); call and we will confirm yours in one minute.
I already have an advance. Can I still qualify?+
Usually yes, but stacking gets expensive. Depending on your balances, consolidating into one payment may serve you far better, and we arrange those too. Bring it up on the first call.
Costs & repayment
What will funding cost me?+
It depends on the product, your revenue, and your file. What we promise: the total dollar cost of every offer is disclosed before you sign, and your advisor will walk you through it line by line. No offer is ever a surprise at signing.
How does repayment work?+
Advances collect a small share of sales daily or weekly. Loans and lines debit fixed payments on a schedule. Every structure is automatic, no checks to mail, and spelled out in the agreement.
Can I pay off early?+
Yes, and with many funders early payoff earns a discount on the remaining cost. Tell your advisor early payoff matters and we will prioritize offers that reward it.
What if I hit a rough patch mid-repayment?+
Call your advisor before you miss a payment, not after. Funders work with businesses that communicate: adjusted debits, restructured schedules, bridge options. Silence is the only unfixable move.
Your information
What happens to my data?+
It goes to our advisors and to funding partners evaluating your file. Full stop. We do not sell applications to lead brokers, and we do not blast your information across the internet. Details in our Privacy Policy.
Why do you need bank statements?+
Statements are how funders verify revenue without dragging you through tax returns and financials. Three to four months tells the whole story: deposits, balances, and existing obligations.
Is Reliant a lender?+
We arrange funding through a network of funding partners rather than lending our own capital, which is how one application reaches the funder whose criteria fit your business. Your funding agreement is with the funder; your relationship and point of contact stay with us.
