Cleaning Financing With Credit Challenges
A divorce that hurt your score. Medical bills from years ago. A prior business that did not work out. Your personal credit history does not define your current cleaning company's value. Strong contract revenue and consistent deposits can support financing even when credit scores create barriers.

Credit Challenges in Cleaning Context
Life circumstances and prior challenges create credit damage that does not reflect current business success. Alternative lenders focus on contract revenue and operational performance.
Life Happens
Divorce, medical emergencies, family situations damage credit. These personal challenges often have nothing to do with running a successful cleaning business.
Prior Business Impact
Many cleaning company owners had prior businesses that did not work out. Those ventures may have damaged credit while providing valuable experience.
Contract Revenue Matters
Consistent contract deposits demonstrate your company's real value. Strong recurring revenue shows repayment capacity regardless of credit scores.
Revenue-Based Evaluation
MCA and revenue-based financing evaluate cleaning businesses based on deposits rather than relying primarily on personal credit.
When Credit Scores Do Not Tell the Full Story
Personal credit history often misrepresents the financial strength of a successful cleaning operation.
Past Does Not Equal Present
Credit damage from life circumstances or prior business does not reflect your current strong contract revenue and successful operation.
Prior Business Failure
A business that did not work out damaged credit. Now your cleaning company is thriving with steady contracts.
Life Circumstances
Divorce, illness, family emergencies damaged credit. These have nothing to do with running a successful cleaning business.
Bank Algorithm Rejection
Banks use automated scoring that ignores contract strength. A 580 score gets declined regardless of strong recurring revenue.
Equipment Needs Continue
Credit challenges do not change equipment needs. Vehicles break. Equipment fails. Operations require capital.
Growth Constraints
Credit damage prevents equipment purchases and contract expansion regardless of your company's ability to repay.

Real Results
Mark T.
Commercial Cleaning, Virginia
The Challenge
Mark had a 545 credit score due to divorce settlement and lingering medical bills. His cleaning company had $28,000 monthly contract revenue with stable, predictable deposits. Banks declined immediately based on credit score.
The Solution
We evaluated his 10 months of contract deposits averaging $28,000 monthly. Despite credit score, deposit strength supported $25,000 in working capital.
The Result
Mark funded equipment upgrades and vehicle repairs. Successful repayment over 10 months. Credit has since improved, and he recently qualified for better-rate term loan.
“Divorce destroyed my credit. But my cleaning company has strong contracts with reliable customers. Finding a lender who valued those contracts changed everything.”

Why This Approach Works
How focusing on contract revenue helps cleaning businesses with credit challenges.
Contract Revenue Recognition
Your recurring contract revenue demonstrates real repayment capacity.
Equipment Collateral
Equipment as collateral reduces risk and enables financing.
Credit Rebuilding
Successful repayment builds business credit for future, better-rate financing.
Speed to Capital

Fair Evaluation
Higher rates for higher risk are fair. We structure sustainable financing.
Emergency Access
Vehicle and equipment failures need immediate response. Credit should not prevent solutions.
