FAQs
Can I get a professional business loan with bad credit?
It’s not impossible, but lenders do prefer borrowers with a history of successfully repaid loans, so it’s important that you pay debts on time and manage your credit usage. If you have a poor credit score, check if any information on your record needs correcting or could be fixed. If you have current debts, try to drive those down before you apply for a loan.
How long does it take to get approved for funding?
With Valiant, you can get funding in as little as 24 hours.
What documents do I need to apply for a professional business loan?
Different lenders require different documentation, but at the very least, you can expect to provide business registration details, financial, tax and cash flow statements, and balance sheets.
