Qualification & edge cases

If your credit score falls between 620‑679 (fair credit) the APR may climb 3‑5% and if equipment is used the rate increases another 1‑2%. A lower DTI or partial collateral keeps your rate near the base 9‑13% range. Contractors earning below $200k may still qualify with a solid cash‑flow statement and a co‑signer, but approval timelines can stretch to 45 days.
