Pre-qualification credit check: Our initial pre-qualification review uses a soft credit pull* — it does not affect your credit score. All estimates require a completed application and the requested documents for full review. Paradise Working Capital is a broker, not a direct lender. Program availability, funding amounts, and terms are subject to lender approval.
*See important information: after you choose to move forward, a participating lender may request a full credit inquiry as part of approval or subsequent underwriting. We will explain that step before it occurs.

Start Your Funding Review
To identify a suitable program, we need the completed form and the requested business documents. You can upload them below so we can review the full picture; additional information may be requested depending on the program and funding source.
⚠️ Required for an accurate review: at least 2 months of recent business bank statements (some programs need up to 6), plus your business details below (time in business, entity type, revenue). Applications missing these go to manual review, which slows things down.
