Frequently asked questions
What business loans are available to Pawn Shop owners in Missouri?

How fast can a Pawn Shop business in Missouri get funded?
Lines of credit and merchant cash advances can fund the same day for qualifying Missouri pawn shop 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 Missouri-specific SBA programs pawn shop owners should know about?
Yes. The St. Louis and Kansas City District Offices oversees SBA 7(a), 504, and microloan programs for Missouri small businesses, with home-grown lender partners that often add their own Missouri-focused incentives. Manu's network includes SBA-preferred lenders that fund in Missouri.
What credit score does a Missouri pawn shop 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 Missouri pawn shop 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.
