What credit score is needed for our clients?
ROK Financial has no minimum credit score requirement — one of its biggest advantages over traditional lenders. The company accepts applications from businesses with credit scores as low as 550.

Our LoanTech platform processes 80% of applications within 4 hours — compared to the industry average of 7–10 business days. Once you accept an offer, funds typically arrive within 24–72 hours. Same-day funding is available for qualifying businesses who submit complete documentation early in the business day.
What documents are needed to apply at ROK Financial?
For most this products you'll need: (1) 3–6 months of business bank statements, (2) a government-issued photo ID, (3) basic business information (EIN, address, industry). For SBA loans or larger amounts, additional documentation such as tax returns, P&L statements, and business licenses may be required. Your your advisor will guide you through exactly what's needed.
Does applying to us affect my credit score?
No. Our pre-qualification process uses a soft credit inquiry only, which does not impact your credit score. A hard credit pull may occur later in the process if a specific lender requires it for final approval — but your your advisor will always inform you before this happens.
What fees does ROK Financial charge?
ROK Financial charges no application fee. If you receive funding, a professional service fee applies — the exact amount depends on the product type, loan amount, and lender. All fees are disclosed in full before you accept any offer. Our policy is complete transparency: no hidden charges, no surprises after funding.
Can startups apply to us?
Yes. ROK Financial actively works with startups and early-stage businesses. Most products require a minimum of 6 months in business and $10,000+ in monthly revenue. Some startup-specific products have no time-in-business requirement at all. This makes ROK Financial far more accessible to new businesses than traditional lenders, which typically require 2+ years of operation.
