Imagine you’ve built your business from the ground up. You’ve hustled hard, managed late nights, survived slow seasons, and still dream bigger. But growth needs funding — and the road to a business loan can feel like navigating a maze.
Enter Capital Express, your trusted partner in simplifying that journey.
In this comprehensive guide, we’ll break down the nuances of small business loans — from how they work to how you qualify — and give you the tools you need to approach funding confidently, no matter your credit score or collateral status.
Myth 1: You need a perfect credit score. Fact: Capital Express works with bad credit borrowers through alternatives like MCAs and revenue-based financing.
Myth 2: You need to put your house on the line. Fact: Many loan options don’t require personal collateral.
Myth 3: Approval takes months. Fact: We’ve helped clients get funded in as little as 24 hours.
Choosing the right funding product is like choosing the right gear for a climb. It depends on:
