FAQ

Common questions

Straight answers to what Grand Rapids owners ask most, from a local broker.

To get a business loan in Grand Rapids, start by gathering recent bank statements, tax returns, and a clear purpose for the funds. Then work with a broker like SilverBrook or approach lenders directly. Brokers save time by matching you to programs across multiple lenders instead of applying one by one. Local businesses from Creston to Southtown use both paths depending on complexity.

Grand Rapids businesses can access term loans, SBA 7(a) and 504 loans, equipment financing, business lines of credit, merchant cash advances, and revenue-based financing. Each program has different requirements and uses. SilverBrook brokers all of these through our lender network, so you compare options instead of guessing which fits. We work with retail, service, and industrial businesses across Greater Grand Rapids.

Loan amounts depend on your revenue, time in business, and creditworthiness, typically ranging from $10,000 into the millions for established companies. SBA loans often go higher for real estate or expansion. We help Grand Rapids businesses in Alger Heights, Eastown, and beyond find the size that matches cash flow. Borrowing more than you can service creates problems, so we focus on fit first.

Most lenders prefer a credit score of 650 or higher for competitive terms, though some programs accept scores in the 500s with stronger revenue or collateral. Your business performance matters as much as your personal score. SilverBrook works with Grand Rapids businesses across the credit spectrum. We'll tell you honestly what's possible and what's not before you waste time on applications.

Yes, you can qualify with bad credit if your Grand Rapids business has consistent revenue, time in operation, or hard assets like equipment. Some lenders focus more on bank deposits than FICO scores. Expect higher costs and shorter terms, but funding is possible. SilverBrook brokers programs for businesses others turn away, from Wealthy Street retailers to Creston service companies. We find the lender that says yes.

Funding speed ranges from 24 hours for revenue-based programs to 60 or 90 days for SBA loans. Most term loans and lines of credit close in one to three weeks if your documents are ready. Grand Rapids businesses needing fast capital for inventory or payroll have options. SilverBrook prioritizes lenders with realistic timelines, and we push your file through quickly on our end.

Expect to provide three to six months of business bank statements, two years of business tax returns if available, a driver's license, and a voided check. Some lenders want profit and loss statements or accounts receivable aging. Grand Rapids startups may need personal tax returns instead. SilverBrook gives you a specific list once we know which lenders fit, so you're not gathering paperwork twice.

SilverBrook Business Capital is a licensed commercial loan broker, not a lender. We do not fund loans ourselves. Instead, we connect your Grand Rapids business to our network of more than 20 lenders, negotiate on your behalf, and help you compare real offers. Brokers give you options and leverage. Lenders give you one product and one answer, take it or leave it.

No, there is no fee to apply or get matched with lenders through SilverBrook. We are paid by the lender when your loan closes, so our service costs you nothing upfront. Grand Rapids businesses from Heritage Hill to Belknap Lookout use brokers to save time and avoid fees. If you don't get funded, you don't pay us. It's that straightforward.
