Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers about verification, soft credit, bank submission, and your portal.

We use a soft credit inquiry when your funding request is submitted (and as part of credit score verification). It supports underwriting and is not the same as shopping multiple lenders with hard pulls.

You can finish your profile and uploads in one session. Staff verification review and bank timelines vary based on document quality and the lender. Track every status live in your portal.

No. The borrower portal is free. Any lender or funding fees are disclosed by the bank or program you are approved for.

A verified email, completed personal and business profile, and approved required verification: credit score, business, bank statements, business license, and identity. Optional docs (P&L, tax returns, etc.) can strengthen your file.

No. Business Blum is bank-led. Our team submits your package to partner banks and updates your request status. You do not shop or accept competing offers in the portal.

Only one active request at a time while it is Submitted, in Credit review, or With bank. After it completes or is declined, you can start another when eligible.

Open User Guide in your dashboard sidebar for step-by-step instructions. You can also use Guide AI in the portal, and your sales advisor can walk you through registration and verification on a call.
