    The short answer

    Startup financing covers businesses under two years old, where lenders underwrite the owner and the plan rather than a track record. Realistic paths include SBA 7(a) with a strong projection package, equipment financing, business credit lines and revenue-based options once deposits are established.

    Frequently asked questions

    Can a business with no revenue get a loan?
    Pre-revenue funding exists but leans on personal credit, collateral and a defensible projection model. SBA lenders will consider a startup with industry experience, a 10 to 15 percent equity injection and a documented use of proceeds.
    What credit score do startup lenders want?
    Because there is little business history, personal credit carries more weight: 680 and above opens most doors, and 700 plus meaningfully improves pricing. Consistent personal payment history matters as much as the number itself.
    What should a startup have ready before applying?
    A written business plan, three-year projections with stated assumptions, a use-of-proceeds schedule, personal financial statement and proof of the equity injection. That package is the difference between a decline and a term sheet.
    Is a personal guarantee required?
    Almost always for a business under two years old. Any owner holding 20 percent or more is typically required to guarantee, which is standard for SBA and most conventional startup lending.
