Frequently asked questions
What business loans are available to Flooring owners in New York?

How fast can a Flooring business in New York get funded?
Lines of credit and merchant cash advances can fund the same day for qualifying New York flooring 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 New York-specific SBA programs flooring owners should know about?
Yes. The New York District Office in Manhattan, Buffalo District Office, and Syracuse District Office oversees SBA 7(a), 504, and microloan programs for New York small businesses, with home-grown lender partners that often add their own New York-focused incentives. Manu's network includes SBA-preferred lenders that fund in New York.
What credit score does a New York 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 New York 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.
