Frequently asked questions
What business loans are available to Retail owners in Texas?
Texas retail owners can qualify through Manu for small business loans ($10K–$10M), SBA 7(a) and 504 loans ($50K–$5M), business lines of credit, equipment financing, merchant cash advances, accounts receivable financing, and inventory lines. We work with lenders licensed to fund in Texas.
How fast can a Retail business in Texas get funded?
Lines of credit and merchant cash advances can fund the same day for qualifying Texas retail 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 Texas-specific SBA programs retail owners should know about?
Yes. The SBA district offices in Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston, San Antonio, El Paso, and Lubbock oversees SBA 7(a), 504, and microloan programs for Texas small businesses, with home-grown lender partners that often add their own Texas-focused incentives. Manu's network includes SBA-preferred lenders that fund in Texas.
What credit score does a Texas retail 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 Texas retail 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.
