05 Questions

Common questions.

Are you a direct lender or a broker?

Direct lender. We underwrite from our own balance sheet. Your file never gets shopped.

How fast can I get funded?

Most deals close 5–14 days from application. Lines of credit and smaller working capital deals can fund in 1–3 days once approved.

What do I need to qualify?

1+ year in business (2+ preferred), 600+ FICO, and $15K+ in monthly revenue. We fund 40+ industries; some verticals (cannabis, adult, payday) we can't touch.

Will applying hurt my credit?

No. We use a soft pull to review your file. A hard pull happens only if you accept a final offer.

What documents do I need?

To start, none. To close, three months of business bank statements and basic business info. SBA and larger term loans need tax returns.

What does it cost to apply?

Nothing. No application fees, no decline fees, no obligation to accept.

What documents do I need to close?

Three months of business bank statements, basic business info, and a personal financial statement for owners. SBA and larger term loans add tax returns and entity docs.

How is Powerhouse different from a bank?

Banks underwrite to a credit score and a checklist. We underwrite to the deal — debt-service coverage, use of funds, owner credit, industry fit. We move in days where banks move in months.

How is Powerhouse different from an online marketplace?

Marketplaces shop your file to dozens of lenders, each running their own pull, each calling you. We're the lender. One file, one decision, one phone number.

Can I refinance an existing loan?

Yes, if the refi makes the business healthier. We won't refi unaffordable debt into a longer term just to lower the monthly. If the math says it works, we'll do it.

What industries won't you fund?

Cannabis, adult, payday lending, gambling, and a short list of restricted verticals. If you're unsure, call — we'll tell you in the first 60 seconds.

What happens if rates change between approval and signing?

Rates we quote in a term sheet are held for 14 days. Past 14 days we may re-price if market rates move materially, and we tell you before, not at signing.
