How it works

What Does the Business Funding Application Process Look Like?

The application process takes three steps: intake, underwriting review, and lender matching. First, you provide basic business information and the funding amount you need. We then review your documents and financial profile to understand cash flow, collateral, and use of funds. Finally, we present your profile to lenders in our network who specialize in your industry and loan type, whether that's SBA 7(a) loans, working capital, equipment financing, commercial real estate, business lines of credit, or invoice factoring.

### Documents That Speed Up Your Application

Read more

Bring recent bank statements (three months), tax returns (two years for the business and principal owners), a profit-and-loss statement, and your balance sheet. Ann Arbor tech startups and Main Street retailers alike benefit from including accounts-receivable aging reports if applying for invoice factoring or a line of credit. Manufacturing firms near Dexter Road often add equipment appraisals when seeking equipment financing.

### What Happens After You Submit Your Application

We contact you within one business day to confirm receipt and ask clarifying questions. Underwriting review typically wraps within 48 hours. Once matched, lenders send term sheets that outline loan amount, repayment schedule, and all fees. You compare offers with full cost transparency before choosing. No obligation exists until you sign a lender's final agreement.

Why Ann Arbor Businesses Work With a Broker

Applying through a broker saves time for business owners managing operations along South State Street or Liberty Street downtown. One application replaces five separate lender forms. Brokers access wholesale programs unavailable through direct-lender websites, and we negotiate terms on your behalf because repeat referrals depend on client outcomes.

Common questions

Common questions about business loans in Ann Arbor

Is there a fee to submit a business funding application?+
No application fee exists. Ironcrest Lending Group earns compensation from the lender after closing, so submitting your application and reviewing term sheets costs nothing. You decide whether to proceed after seeing all costs disclosed in writing.
How long does underwriting take for Ann Arbor applicants?+
Underwriting review completes within 48 hours for most applications. Complex commercial real estate transactions or multi-entity structures may require additional documentation, extending the timeline by several days. We communicate progress at each stage.
Can I apply if my business is in Ypsilanti or Saline?+
Yes. Ironcrest Lending Group serves all of Washtenaw County, including Ypsilanti, Saline, Dexter, and surrounding townships. Location within our service area does not affect your ability to access our full lender network or program menu.
What credit profile do lenders expect?+
Lender requirements vary by program. SBA 7(a) loans typically prefer personal credit scores above 680, while invoice factoring prioritizes customer creditworthiness over the applicant's score. Working capital products offer middle-ground flexibility. We identify the best match for your profile.
Do I need collateral to apply for business funding?+
Collateral requirements depend on loan type and amount. Equipment financing uses the purchased asset as collateral. Unsecured working capital exists but carries higher costs. Commercial real estate loans require property liens. We explain collateral expectations for each option presented.
How many lenders will see my application?+
We present your profile to three to six lenders whose underwriting criteria align with your business metrics and funding purpose. Selective matching protects your time and avoids unnecessary credit inquiries. You receive only serious term sheets.
Can I apply for multiple funding types at once?+
Yes. Many Ann Arbor businesses combine a commercial real estate loan for property acquisition with a working capital line for inventory. Applying for complementary products simultaneously helps lenders structure a complete capital solution rather than piecemeal funding.
What if I'm not ready to apply but have questions?+
Call (734) 275-4683 to discuss your situation without submitting a formal application. Consultation helps clarify which programs suit your goals, what documents to gather, and realistic timelines. No obligation arises from an exploratory conversation.
