Requirements at a Glance
Forwardfy Capital is a direct funder of working capital for U.S. small and mid-sized businesses. Underwriting reads what your business deposits now, not only what your credit report says about the past. These are the things that decide it:
| Requirement | The usual mark | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Where you operate | A U.S.-based business | Forwardfy works with businesses in all 50 states. |
| Bank account | An active business bank account | The account your revenue is deposited into. |
| Time in business | At least 6 months | Under 6 months? Still apply; we may have options. |
| Monthly revenue | About $10,000 or more in monthly sales | Below that? Still apply; we may have options. |
| Bank statements | Your last 4 months of business bank statements | Not needed to apply. They are requested to finalize an offer. |
| Credit | Any credit profile considered | No hard credit check to see your options, and a soft credit pull at most. |
| Funding range | $10,000 up to $6 million | Sized on monthly revenue and overall business health. Amounts are not guaranteed. |
Exact requirements vary by funding product. Checking your options never affects your credit score. Our online estimator caps at $500,000; call (855) 393-7449 for larger requests.
See Where You Stand in 30 Seconds
Three answers give you an illustrative funding range before you apply. What moves the real number:
- Consistent monthly revenue: steady deposits matter more than a perfect score.
- Time in business: more history means more confidence.
- Your bank statements: your last 4 months tell the story. Here’s what underwriters look for in your bank statements.
- Existing obligations: open advances or heavy debt payments are weighed against what you deposit.

30-Second Estimate
Three questions, instant range, nothing submitted, nothing stored.
Strong, consistent deposits can push real offers above this range.
Illustrative estimate, not an offer. Checking for real never affects your credit.
Documents You Need
- To apply: just the 3-minute online form with basic business details. No documents.
- To finalize an offer: your last 4 months of business bank statements, as PDFs from your online banking, sent through the encrypted Secure Data Upload Center.
- At funding: a government-issued photo ID and a voided business check typically come into play here, not at application.
- Sometimes: basic legal documents like a business license, depending on the product.
Below the Usual Marks?
The 6-month and $10,000 marks are the usual marks, not a wall. If your business is newer or smaller than that, still apply or call (855) 393-7449: we may have options. If the answer is no, you will hear it straight, with the reason why and, where possible, what would change the answer, whether that is a couple more months of deposits or a different product structure. There is no application fee and no obligation either way.

Requirements by Product
Exact requirements vary by funding product, because what underwriting weighs most shifts with the product:
- Merchant cash advance: deposit consistency in your recent bank statements. The most credit-flexible option.
- Invoice factoring: your customers’ payment reliability, not your credit.
- Business line of credit: revenue consistency and credit profile.

What documents do I need to apply?

A government-issued photo ID and a voided business check typically come into play at funding, not at application, and some products may need basic legal documents like a business license.
Can I qualify with bad credit, and does checking affect my score?
Yes, imperfect credit is considered. Forwardfy evaluates the current health of your business (deposits, revenue, and momentum) rather than relying solely on credit scores. Checking your options has no effect on your personal credit score, with no hard credit check and a soft credit pull at most. See capital for bad credit.
How much can I qualify for, and how fast is funding?
Funding can range from $10,000 up to $6 million, based on your monthly revenue and the overall health of your business; amounts are not guaranteed. Most owners complete the application in under 3 minutes and receive an offer within hours. After you accept and sign, the transfer is often initiated the same day, depending on when you accept and your bank's processing schedule.
What if my business is below the usual marks?
