Duckfund is not like most small business lenders. We actually want to fund your business. Unlike banks who look for reasons not to give you money, we seek out the positives in your start-up.
We understand that you need working capital to achieve your business goals. That's why we prioritize your business's potential over your personal credit score and take the time to understand your unique situation.
There’s never been a more challenging time to get small business financing. Uncertain economic conditions mean lenders are more fearful of bad credit than ever and their criteria are getting tougher and tougher.
As an SMB entrepreneur trying to get working capital loans right now, you’ve probably tried several different options with no luck, including the following.
Established financial institutions may seem like a safe bet, but they often use their big names to get SMBs to jump through hoops and ramp up interest rates during underwriting.
Often the application process for a term loan, business line of credit, or equipment loan is stressful, with the bank appearing to work against your business rather than with you. No wonder large banks were turning down 75% of SMB loan applications following the pandemic. Their eligibility requirements were too high
If you apply for an SBA loan then you’re probably not getting one. But that’s nothing against you and your business: 9 out of 10 SBA applications are rejected, according to research by financial resource Fundera. In fact, SBA loan volume has been steadily declining over the past decade, showing a drop of 54% between 2017 and 2021.
And why is that? Well, like most big lenders, the SBA subscribes to the “5 Big Cs” criteria: credit score requirements, collateral, character, capital, and capacity to repay the debt, in terms of annual revenue and other factors.If they deem you to fall short on any of these, then the answer’s no.
Credit cards are an ideal short-term solution for some business needs, provided you have the means to repay the outstanding lump sum as soon as possible. Yet, it’s not always possible for a small business to do that, especially in its early stages when any income just goes straight back out the door to fund growth.
Left unpaid, business credit card debt can quickly accrue, with the typical interest rate still pushing 25% in 2023. It’s also very easy to miss extra fees that come in the small print in credit card T&Cs, such as annual fees and foreign transaction charges. Take your eye off the ball at any moment, and you risk accumulating debt that you may have great trouble shifting later.
Got a bunch of credit sales but can’t get hold of cash? Merchant cash advances are a way of unlocking future credit card sales by exchanging them for immediate cash. The lender collects a percentage of your revenue until you repay the full sum.
Invoice financing (or factoring) works along similar lines, except the lender ‘buys’ your invoices from you and charges you factor rates until you fully repay. MCAs are easier and faster to get than a loan, but taking a chunk out of your sales receivable can simply move cash flow problems down the line. These advances also often come with high fees and interest rates, which may make them more trouble than they are worth.
The last 20 years have seen a strong shift toward digital financing options across the world. Online applications are quick, easy, and often lead to fast funding that can make or break your business’s future. Yet, getting fast business loan options with amazing terms sounds too good to be true. That’s because it often is.
Searching for small business funding online comes with several risks. The regulatory landscape for online loan programs and alternative lenders is still evolving, and it’s easier to come across bad credit providers in the digital sphere who are more able to hide their identity.
Even trusted digital lenders often charge high-interest rates to cover their investment in technology and online marketing. These dangers make it essential to choose an online lender that’s open about their funding, whose terms are easy to understand, and who comes with quality testimonials.

Yes. All applicants need a personal guarantee to access our high-approval, low-interest business financing. But there is no minimum credit score thanks to our unique AI-powered credit model.
We simply ask that you have had a business in place for six months with a minimum level of revenue of $5,000 per month. This is much shorter than the two-to-three-year minimum that traditional lenders expect. The US SBA, for example, requires three years’ worth of paperwork.
