Need $50K–$100K in Working Capital? Check These Qualification Benchmarks First

If your business needs working capital now, it helps to know whether your current profile is close to the typical qualification range before you apply. Working capital financing can be used for operating needs such as inventory, payroll, marketing, expansion or short-term cash-flow pressure.

Thomas Abelsen’s business funding guide identifies common working capital benchmarks of approximately six to twelve months in business, $50,000 to $100,000 in annual revenue and a personal credit score around 600 or higher. Actual requirements depend on the funding provider and the complete borrower profile.

Revenue alone is not enough. Funding providers can also review the consistency of deposits flowing through the business bank account, current debt obligations and whether the company has enough cash flow to support additional financing.

Before requesting capital, know your current annual revenue, average business deposits, time in business, Experian FICO score and the balances on existing business loans, lines of credit and credit cards. You should also be ready to clearly explain how much money you need and how the business will use it.
