Frequently asked questions
What kind of business loans can Hardwood Lumber Distributor owners qualify for?
Through Manu's partner application, hardwood lumber distributor owners can access small business loans ($10K–$10M), SBA 7(a) and 504 loans ($50K–$5M), business lines of credit, equipment financing, merchant cash advances, accounts receivable financing, and inventory lines. Terms are tailored to your revenue and time in business.
How fast can a Hardwood Lumber Distributor business get funded?
Lines of credit and merchant cash advances can fund the same day for qualifying hardwood lumber distributor businesses. Small business loans and equipment financing typically fund in 1–3 business days. SBA loans take 4–10 weeks due to government underwriting.
What credit score do I need for Hardwood Lumber Distributor financing?
Minimum FICO depends on the product: equipment financing starts at 550, small business loans at 580, lines of credit at 600, and SBA loans at 660. Merchant cash advances and accounts receivable financing have no minimum FICO — they're underwritten on revenue and receivables instead.
Will applying hurt my credit score?
No. Pre-qualification uses a soft credit check that does not affect your credit score. A hard pull only happens if you accept a final offer from a lender.
What documents do Hardwood Lumber Distributor businesses need to apply?
To pre-qualify, you'll share basic business information plus your most recent 3 months of business bank statements. To finalize an offer, most lenders ask for 3–6 months of bank statements in total. Larger loans may also require tax returns or financial statements.
