Frequently asked questions
What business loans are available to Tax Law Firm owners in California?

How fast can a Tax Law Firm business in California get funded?
Lines of credit and merchant cash advances can fund the same day for qualifying California tax law 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 California-specific SBA programs tax law firm owners should know about?
Yes. The SBA district offices in Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Sacramento, Santa Ana, and Fresno oversees SBA 7(a), 504, and microloan programs for California small businesses, with home-grown lender partners that often add their own California-focused incentives. Manu's network includes SBA-preferred lenders that fund in California.
What credit score does a California tax law 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 California tax law 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.
