How fast can a Car Wash business in Colorado get funded?

What credit score does a Colorado car wash 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 Colorado car wash loan hurt my credit?
