Compare startup capital offers from 50 lenders for Ohio businesses — Columbus, Cleveland, and Cincinnati and beyond. One application, real offers in about 24 hours, no effect on your credit.
Ohio runs on advanced manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, and finance. Whatever you operate — from Columbus, Cleveland, and Cincinnati to the rest of the state — EQ Funding puts your file in front of 50 lenders that compete to fund it, entirely online. One application, real offers in about 24 hours, no effect on your credit to compare.
Instead of walking Ohio bank branches one at a time, you apply once and the lenders most likely to approve a business like yours bid for the deal. You compare startup capital side by side and take the best rate and terms — not whatever the first banker happened to offer. SBA-backed options included.
Reach Ohio’s most active business lenders in a single form instead of applying to each one.
Comparing offers is a soft pull. A hard inquiry only happens once you accept a specific lender.
First offers in about 24 hours and funding in as little as 48 — far faster than a local bank queue.
Six questions. No documents required to start. No effect on your credit score.
Review the 8–12 lenders matched to your profile and choose who to apply to. Your file goes only to the lenders you select.
We negotiate the best terms with each lender you selected and send you their real offers — side by side on APR, term, and payment.
One signature. Funds wire direct from the lender. Median: under 2 days end-to-end.
Yes. EQ Funding serves businesses throughout Ohio, from Columbus to Toledo, entirely online. There is no branch visit — you apply once and compare offers from 50 lenders wherever you operate in the state.
Most Ohio businesses see first offers within about 24 hours and can fund in as little as 48 hours after accepting. SBA-backed options take longer but carry the lowest rates.
No. The entire process is online — you apply, compare offers, and accept from anywhere in Ohio. There is no in-person meeting and no paperwork to start; lenders request documents only after an offer is on the table.
Nothing, and no. EQ Funding is free to you — lenders pay a fee when your deal closes, never the borrower. Comparing offers uses a soft pull with no effect on your credit; a hard inquiry only happens once you accept a specific lender.
Yes. Several lenders in our network underwrite startup capital based on founder credit (700+), business plan, and projections. Pre-revenue founders typically qualify for $25K–$150K of startup financing.
Seed funding traditionally means equity from investors (you give up ownership). Startup capital from EQ Funding is debt-based — you keep 100% equity and pay back over time. No board seats, no dilution.
Most startup capital programs require 680+ personal FICO since they underwrite on personal credit rather than business history. Below 680 you can still qualify via revenue-based or equipment financing once you have 3–6 months of revenue.
$10K–$250K is typical for pre-revenue startups. Established but young companies (6–18 months) can qualify for $250K–$750K. Startup capital scales with revenue trajectory and founder profile.
24–72 hours for SBA microloans and personal-guarantee facilities. Equity-style seed funding takes weeks. Our network specializes in fast-funding debt products that preserve your ownership.
Six questions. Two minutes. No effect on your credit score. Real offers from 50 lenders within 24 hours.
