Capital use cases for pawn shop businesses
- Loan-pool capital: Owners draw $50K–$150K on a line of credit to grow the collateral-backed loan pool, repaid as pledges redeem with interest and forfeited goods resell.
- Security and display upgrade: A $25K–$75K term loan funds safes, display cases, and surveillance, repaid over 5 years as a secure, professional floor supports higher-value transactions.
- Second-location expansion: A $150K–$250K term loan opens a second shop with its own loan pool and inventory, repaid over 7 years as the new store builds local volume.

Frequently asked questions
What kind of business loans can Pawn Shop owners qualify for?
Through Manu's partner application, pawn shop 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 Pawn Shop business get funded?
Lines of credit and merchant cash advances can fund the same day for qualifying pawn shop 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 Pawn Shop 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 Pawn Shop 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.
