Question 2

I have a low credit score. Can I still qualify?

Accepted Answer

Of course! At Sapphire Advance, we know your business’s credit score doesn’t always tell the whole story. That’s why we don't make any score effecting credit inquiries and our approvals are based on more than just your credit worthiness. We look at the overall health and potential of your business, including:
Business revenue
Cash flow
Vendor payment history
Years in business
Public records

How fast can I receive the funds for my business?

Accepted Answer

Our application process is built around an in-house communication center that gives our Funding Advisors and underwriters instant access to the information they need to approve your business. Your funding can be approved in as little as 2-5 business hours, with working capital available in as little as one business day.

Question 7

If I need additional funding, can I apply for another cash advance?
