FAQ

$250,000 Working Capital Loan FAQs

620+ is the standard minimum for a $250K working capital deal. Revenue-based working capital lenders often look more closely at bank deposit history and revenue trends than credit score alone. Businesses with consistent monthly deposits and $200K+ annual revenue can often qualify at 620.
Working capital loans are flexible — use them for payroll between slow periods, inventory purchasing for seasonal peaks, invoice financing for slow-paying clients, equipment repairs and maintenance, marketing campaigns, or bridging to a large project payment. Lenders do not typically restrict use-of-funds for working capital loans.
Revenue-based working capital lines and short-term working capital loans can fund in 3–14 business days. MCA products can close in as little as 24–72 hours for qualified borrowers. Traditional bank working capital lines take longer (14–30 days) but offer better rates for well-qualified borrowers.
A working capital loan provides a lump sum upfront that you repay on a fixed schedule — best for known, one-time capital needs. A working capital line of credit gives you flexible access to funds as needed — you only pay interest on what you draw. Lines of credit are better for recurring or unpredictable cash flow gaps. At $250K, both options are available depending on your business profile.
Most lenders want $200K+ in annual revenue for a $250K working capital deal. Revenue-based lenders look at 3–12 months of bank statements and revenue trends rather than just the annual figure. Consistent monthly deposits and seasonal patterns are both understood by working capital lenders.
Yes — working capital loans are specifically designed for businesses with inconsistent or seasonal revenue. Lenders who specialize in working capital understand slow months, project-based revenue, and seasonal patterns. Having contracts, recurring customers, or historical revenue data demonstrates your ability to repay even during slower periods.
