    How matching works

    • Tell us about your business, your financing needs and where you operate.
    • We compare your application with each lender's criteria, including whether they lend in California.
    • Matched lenders review your application and can send offers or questions through your dashboard.
    • You compare offers side by side and choose, with no obligation to accept.

    Documents to have ready

    • Business bank statements (often the last 3–6 months)
    • Recent business and personal tax returns
    • Profit and loss statement and balance sheet
    • Ownership details for anyone owning 20% or more

    Cost disclosures in California

    California has a commercial financing disclosure law. For many commercial financing offers, providers must give you a written disclosure of the total cost, such as the amount financed, the finance charge and often an estimated APR, before you sign. Use it to compare offers on the same terms.

    Common questions

    Do all lenders lend in California?
    No. Many lenders only fund businesses in certain states. Direct Credit only matches your application with lenders whose criteria include California.
    Are SBA loans available in California?
    Yes. SBA 7(a) and 504 loans are available nationwide through SBA-approved lenders, including for California businesses.
    Does applying affect my credit?
    Applying doesn't affect your credit score: lenders review your credit with a soft inquiry. A hard inquiry happens only if you accept an offer and the lender asks for one.
