Frequently asked questions
What business loans are available to Recruiting Firm owners in Kentucky?

We work with lenders licensed to fund in Kentucky.
How fast can a Recruiting Firm business in Kentucky get funded?
Lines of credit and merchant cash advances can fund the same day for qualifying Kentucky recruiting firm businesses. Small business loans and equipment financing typically wire in 1–3 business days. SBA loans take 4–10 weeks because of government underwriting.
Are there Kentucky-specific SBA programs recruiting firm owners should know about?
Yes. The Kentucky District Office in Louisville oversees SBA 7(a), 504, and microloan programs for Kentucky small businesses, with home-grown lender partners that often add their own Kentucky-focused incentives. Manu's network includes SBA-preferred lenders that fund in Kentucky.
What credit score does a Kentucky recruiting firm business need?
Minimum FICO depends on the product, not the state: equipment financing starts at 550, small business loans at 580, lines of credit at 600, and SBA loans at 660. Merchant cash advances and A/R financing have no minimum FICO when revenue is strong.
Will applying for a Kentucky recruiting firm loan hurt my credit?
No. Pre-qualification uses a soft credit pull that does not affect your score. A hard pull only happens if you accept a final offer from a lender.
