Business funding up to $1.5 million without a hard credit pull.
If your business has been operating for at least six months, generates around $20,000+ per month in gross sales, and you have a 570+ FICO score, you may meet Fora Financial's basic published guidelines.
Meeting the published minimums does not guarantee approval. Amounts, products, pricing, and terms depend on underwriting.

Combined amounts are not a single approval or a typical funding amount. Individual results vary. Funding amounts and approval are determined by the lender based on the applicant and underwriting.
Checking your options without another hard inquiry is the part I find most interesting.
One of the biggest questions I get from business owners is where they can check for business funding without adding another hard inquiry. Fora's initial application uses a soft credit check, and its published credit minimum starts around 570.
But that does not mean I would automatically take the money. If you receive an offer, look at the total repayment, payment frequency, fees, term, and actual cost before deciding whether the capital makes sense for your business.
Check My Options — No Hard Pull Cal BartonThree short steps to see what may be available.
The initial process is designed to be fast and lightweight, but you still control whether you accept an offer.
Complete the online application
Fora says the application takes about five minutes and uses a soft credit check that does not affect your credit score.
Provide three recent bank statements
Fora generally asks for your three most recent business bank statements. Additional documentation may be requested depending on the application.
Get a decision and review the offer
Approval decisions may come back in as little as four hours after required documentation is submitted. Review every term before accepting.
The approval amount is not the most important number.
Fast business capital can be more expensive than conventional bank or SBA financing. Judge the offer by what it will actually cost your business and how the payments fit your cash flow.
Compare these before saying yes
- Total repayment amount, not just the amount funded.
- Payment amount and whether payments are daily, weekly, or monthly.
- Term, fees, prepayment terms, and any UCC or collateral provisions.
- The exact product and funding provider named in your agreement.
This may not be the right lane if…
- Your business is pre-revenue or less than six months old.
- Your monthly gross sales are well below the published $20,000 guideline.
- Your top priority is the lowest possible long-term cost of capital.
- You have an open bankruptcy or cannot comfortably support the required payments.
Know what you are checking before you apply.
These answers summarize Fora's current published information. Your final agreement controls the actual product, provider, cost, and repayment terms.
