Shelfline Capital · Apply

Apply in four minutes

One page. No application fee. A soft credit inquiry that does not affect your personal credit score. Most files are decided the same business day, and funded in as little as 24 hours after you sign.

What you will need

The application — about 4 minutes. Legal business name, EIN, time in business, monthly revenue, the amount you want and what it is for.
Four months of business bank statements. PDF upload or a read-only bank connection. Every account the business uses, not just the main one.
Nothing else, for working capital under $250,000. No tax returns. No financial statements. No business plan. No collateral.
Term, SBA and equipment products add documents. Your underwriter will tell you exactly which, on the call, before you gather anything.

What happens after you submit: a Shelfline underwriter reviews your file and calls you — usually within two hours during business hours, and by the next business morning if you apply overnight or on a weekend. You will speak to the same person through closing. We do not put you into an automated sequence.

Business hours: Monday–Friday, 9:00am–7:00pm ET; Saturday 9:00am–2:00pm ET.
