Most funding denials come down to three things: credit, revenue consistency, and documentation. Strengthen those, and approval becomes the rule — not the exception.
Lenders evaluate the same handful of signals. Here's exactly what they look at — and what to do about each.

Some funding programs require a minimum level of monthly business revenue. Strengthening revenue patterns and financial documentation signals stability to underwriters.
