Frequently asked questions
What business loans are available to Real Estate owners in Michigan?
Michigan real estate owners can qualify through Manu for 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. We work with lenders licensed to fund in Michigan.
How fast can a Real Estate business in Michigan get funded?
Lines of credit and merchant cash advances can fund the same day for qualifying Michigan real estate 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 Michigan-specific SBA programs real estate owners should know about?
Yes. The Michigan District Office in Detroit oversees SBA 7(a), 504, and microloan programs for Michigan small businesses, with home-grown lender partners that often add their own Michigan-focused incentives. Manu's network includes SBA-preferred lenders that fund in Michigan.
What credit score does a Michigan real estate 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 Michigan real estate 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.
