Can my salon get a business loan if I have bad credit?

Quick Answer: Yes, salons can qualify for funding with credit scores as low as 450. If you have consistent revenue deposits over $10k/mo, you likely qualify.

Maybe you opened during COVID and maxed out credit cards to survive, experienced a costly divorce, or your second location hasn't paid off yet. Your personal credit score dropped, but your salon still has clients in chairs and revenue coming in. QuicLoans looks at your business deposits, not your outdated personal financial challenges.

What QuicLoans evaluates for salon funding:

  • Monthly deposits: Consistent revenue of $10K+ monthly from services and retail shows you can handle a loan payment.
  • Time in business: Just 3 months of operation meets our minimum requirements.
  • Bank account patterns: Regular deposits and minimal overdraft activity show a business we can approve.

Traditional banks want 680+ credit scores and might take weeks just to say no. QuicLoans can approve salons with FICO scores as low as 450, often within hours of applying.

Our business loans won't show up on your personal credit report. Your salon is the borrower, keeping your personal credit clear for your car loan, mortgage, or personal needs. We make funding decisions based on your salon's performance, not your personal past.

If clients are booking appointments and your stylists are working, your credit score doesn't have to stop you from getting the capital your salon needs.
