1
Know your credit score. Sometimes your small business credit score isn't as bad as you think. Maybe you thought you were late on a few payments or perhaps you were and the company just hasn't reported them yet. This happens more frequently than you might think. Before you start jumping through hoops trying to get bad credit funding for your small business, verify that you do indeed have bad credit.

Have a family or friend co sign for you. A cosigner - just like any other loan - will help carry you credit wise. They are taking the responsibility of the loan which means the bank looks at their credit instead of yours.

Establish small business credit. Now this can take some time, but eventually you will be able to get approved for loans solely on your business credit. This can be done by taking out small credit cards for your business. Also getting other services such as phone or internet service that report to the credit bureaus is also a great way to establish business credit.

Apply for a small business cash advance. They are a little different from a personal cash advance loan as the amount you can qualify is usually higher. No credit check is needed. The only requirement is that you have a current job. There are plenty of companies that offer small business cash advances on the internet. Just head to your favorite search engine and search away.
