Breaking Barriers for Small Business Owners

For many small business owners, a less-than-perfect credit score can feel like a roadblock to securing financing. Traditional lenders rely heavily on credit scores, often declining applicants without considering their business’s revenue, potential, or unique circumstances.

At Magenta, we’re rewriting the rules. We offer revenue-based financing with no credit requirement, focusing instead on your business’s health and potential for growth.


Why Credit Scores Create Challenges

Credit scores are designed to measure an individual’s or business’s creditworthiness, but they don’t tell the full story. Here’s why traditional lenders often decline applicants with bad credit:

  • Historical Bias: Credit scores reflect past challenges, not current potential.
  • Rigid Requirements: Many banks have strict credit thresholds, automatically disqualifying applicants below a certain score.
  • Limited Context: Credit scores don’t account for consistent revenue, strong customer loyalty, or effective business management.

How Magenta Looks Beyond Credit Scores

At Magenta, we believe that every business deserves the chance to grow, regardless of credit history. Our revenue-based financing is designed to empower business owners who might otherwise be overlooked.

Here's what sets us apart:

  • No Minimum Credit Requirement: We evaluate your business based on its revenue and performance, not your credit score.
  • Fast Decisions: Receive a decision typically within an hour.
  • Next-Day Funds: Once approved, access funds as soon as the next day.
  • Flexible Repayments: Payments are tied to your revenue, adjusting to your cash flow for greater financial stability.

Tips for Securing Financing with Bad Credit

If you’re exploring financing options, here are steps you can take to improve your chances:

  1. Focus on Revenue: Highlight consistent income streams to show your business’s ability to repay.
  2. Prepare Financial Documents: Have your bank statements, profit and loss statements, and tax returns ready to provide a clear picture of your business’s health.
  3. Be Transparent: Address any past credit challenges upfront and explain how your business has recovered or grown.
  4. Explore Flexible Options: Consider revenue-based financing, which aligns with your income and doesn’t rely on credit scores.
