Business Term Loan for a 550–599 Credit Score
Short answer: Yes — a 550–599 FICO clears Byzfunder's Business Term Loan floor (550+), and your business revenue carries real weight in the decision.
What a 550–599 score means
A 550–599 FICO is considered subprime. A 550–599 score closes most bank doors, but strong, steady deposits can still earn an approval on business performance. Byzfunder underwrites on business performance — your revenue, deposit consistency, and time in business carry real weight, not just the number.
How Business Term Loan works at this score
A Business Term Loan gives you upfront capital with a fixed, predictable payoff plan, fulfilled through the affiliated Byzwash entity. A term loan suits larger, one-time costs where a clear, scheduled payback is the priority.
What you'll typically need
- FICO: 550+ (you're in range)
- Revenue: typically $20,000+ in monthly revenue — strong deposits can outweigh a lower score
- Time in business: the longer your track record, the better your terms
- Documents: a short application plus a few months of business bank statements
There's no "guaranteed approval" — every file is reviewed on its merits. But at 550–599, your score is an asset, not an obstacle.
How to strengthen your file
- Keep business deposits steady and in a dedicated business account
- Avoid overdrafts and negative days in the months before you apply
- Apply when revenue is trending up, not down
- Have recent bank statements ready to speed the decision
