How fast can a Flooring business in Montana get funded?

What credit score does a Montana flooring 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 Montana flooring 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.
