Fora Financial Business Loans requires companies to be in business for at least 12 months. Businesses must have a minimum annual revenue of $150,000 to be considered.

The Military Lending Act (32 C.F.R. § 232) prohibits lenders from charging service members more than 36% APR on credit extended to covered borrowers. APRs for the Fora Financial Business Loans product fall outside of the MLA limits, and as a result, the product cannot be issued to these applicants. Active duty service members and their covered dependents are considered “covered borrowers" under the Military Lending Act.

To qualify, applicants may need to provide the following documentation:
