Frequently asked questions
What business loans are available to Real Estate owners in South Carolina?

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