FAQ

Common questions

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

Getting a business loan in Fontana starts with understanding your revenue, time in business, and credit profile. A licensed broker like UnderHill Credit reviews your situation, matches you with lenders who serve the Inland Empire, and presents real options. You avoid applying to dozens of banks yourself. The process is faster and you compare offers before committing to any one lender.

Fontana businesses can access term loans for expansion or working capital, equipment financing for machinery and vehicles, SBA 7(a) and 504 loans for real estate or long-term projects, lines of credit for seasonal needs, and commercial mortgages. Each program has different requirements. We help you find the right fit based on your industry, whether you're in manufacturing near Sierra Avenue or retail in Coyote Canyon.

Loan amounts depend on your revenue, time in business, and the type of financing you need. Equipment loans and lines of credit may range from modest amounts to several hundred thousand dollars, while SBA loans and commercial mortgages can reach into the millions for qualified borrowers. We work with lenders offering a wide spectrum, so Fontana businesses of all sizes find workable options through our network.

Most lenders prefer a credit score of 650 or higher for favorable terms, but programs exist for scores in the 600s and sometimes lower. Your revenue, profitability, and collateral matter as much as your score. We connect Fontana business owners with lenders who consider the full picture, not just a number. Stronger credit opens more doors and better terms, but it's not the only factor.

Yes, you can qualify with bad credit if your business shows consistent revenue and solid cash flow. Some lenders focus on bank statements and receivables rather than personal credit scores. Expect higher costs and shorter terms, but funding is possible. We broker relationships with lenders experienced in turnaround situations, so Fontana businesses rebuilding credit still access capital. Transparency about your situation helps us find the right match.

Funding speed varies by program. Some working capital products fund in two to five business days once approved. SBA loans and commercial mortgages take weeks to months because of underwriting and documentation requirements. Equipment financing usually falls in between. We set realistic expectations and push lenders to move quickly. Fontana businesses needing fast capital get prioritized with lenders known for speed, and we handle follow up so you stay informed.

Expect to provide recent bank statements, tax returns, a driver's license, and a brief overview of what you need funding for. Lenders may request profit and loss statements, accounts receivable aging, and lease agreements depending on the loan type. We give you a checklist upfront so there are no surprises. Organized documentation speeds up approval, and we help Fontana business owners gather what's needed before submitting anything to lenders.

UnderHill Credit is a licensed commercial loan broker, not a lender. We do not fund loans ourselves. Instead, we maintain relationships with more than 20 lenders and match your business to the programs that fit. You benefit from choice and competition without applying to each lender individually. Brokers save you time, expand your options, and advocate on your behalf during underwriting. We get paid by the lender when your loan closes.

We serve businesses throughout Fontana and surrounding suburbs including Bloomington, Colton, Grand Terrace, Loma Linda, Mira Loma, and Muscoy. Because we work with a nationwide lender network rather than a single bank, we can match Fontana-area businesses to funding regardless of which neighborhood you operate in.
