Business Funding Basics
What is business funding?
Business funding provides companies with access to capital to support operations, manage cash flow, invest in growth, or cover essential expenses. Sigsug Advance offers flexible funding solutions designed around real business needs.
What can I use business funding for?
Funds may be used for a wide range of business purposes, including managing cash flow, expanding operations, purchasing equipment, covering operating expenses, and preparing for seasonal demand.
Do I need perfect credit to qualify?
No. We do not rely solely on traditional credit evaluations. While a 625+ personal FICO® score is a general guideline, applications are reviewed holistically.

Can newer businesses apply?
While many funding options require a minimum operating history, some businesses may still qualify depending on revenue, performance, and overall financial profile.
