Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to Your Funding Questions

Everything you need to know about qualifying, applying, and repaying with Westmere Financial.

Funding Basics

Loan amounts range from $10,000 up to $50M depending on the product, your revenue, time in business, and credit profile. Our 0% Interest Line of Credit offers up to $250,000, while our Term Loan extends to $50M for established businesses.

No. Our pre-qualification process uses a soft credit pull that does not impact your score. A hard inquiry only occurs if you decide to proceed with a formal loan application.

Most applications are reviewed within 24 hours, and approved clients can receive funding in as little as 3-5 business days. SBA loans typically take 7-30 days due to government processing.

Eligibility

Our products require a minimum of $10,000 in average monthly revenue. Higher-revenue businesses qualify for larger amounts and better rates.

Requirements vary by product. Our 0% Interest Line of Credit accepts startups with as little as 3 months in operation, while our Term Loan and SBA programs typically require 12-24 months.

Many of our products are unsecured and require no collateral. Secured options like SBA loans may use business assets, but our team will guide you to the best fit for your situation.

Repayment

Terms range from 6 months to 25 years depending on the product. Lines of credit offer flexible revolving repayment, while term loans have fixed monthly payments.

Most of our products have no prepayment penalties, so you can pay off your loan early and save on interest.

Payments are typically auto-drafted from your business bank account on a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly schedule based on the product and your preference.
