Bad Credit and Startup Options
Liberty Capital Group's standout feature is their willingness to fund businesses with bad credit and limited operating history. Their bad credit business loan product accepts credit scores as low as 500, and their underwriting focuses on business revenue and cash flow rather than credit scores. This makes Liberty Capital accessible to:
- Businesses with credit scores between 500–600
- Businesses with recent late payments or collections
- Businesses with past bankruptcies (discharged 1+ years ago)
- Newer businesses with 6+ months in operation
- Businesses with limited credit history
While their bad credit products carry higher factor rates (1.22–1.48), they provide a critical funding source for businesses that have been declined by other lenders.
Funding Speed
| Product | Application Time | Funding Speed |
|---|---|---|
| Equipment Financing | 15 minutes | 24–48 hours |
| Merchant Cash Advance | 10 minutes | Same day to 48 hours |
| Working Capital Loan | 10 minutes | 24–48 hours |
| Bad Credit Business Loan | 10 minutes | 24–72 hours |
Pricing and Costs
Liberty Capital's pricing varies significantly by product and borrower profile. Equipment financing offers the lowest rates (7%–28% APR) because the equipment secures the loan. MCA and working capital loans use factor rates (1.15–1.45), while bad credit loans carry the highest rates (1.22–1.48) to reflect the increased risk. Liberty Capital offers early payoff discounts of 5%–15% on most products.
Strengths
- Bad credit specialist: Accepts scores as low as 500.
- Multi-product platform: Equipment, MCA, working capital, and bad credit loans.

- Fast funding: Same-day to 72-hour deployment.
- Equipment financing: Section 179 eligible, rates from 7% APR.

Considerations

- Personal guarantee required.
Best For
Liberty Capital Group is best for: businesses with credit scores below 600 that have been declined by other lenders, companies that need both equipment financing and working capital from a single provider, and businesses with $10K+ monthly revenue that need fast capital and flexible qualification.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get a loan from Liberty Capital with a 500 credit score?
Yes. Liberty Capital's bad credit business loan product accepts credit scores as low as 500. Their underwriting focuses on business revenue and cash flow rather than credit scores — so a low score doesn't automatically disqualify you if your business has $10K+ in monthly revenue.
Does Liberty Capital offer equipment financing for startups?
Liberty Capital typically requires 6 months in business, but startups with strong personal credit and a viable equipment purchase may qualify — especially if the equipment has strong residual value. Their bad credit and startup loan products can also be used for equipment purchases.
