Qualification & edge cases
- Below 620 score: Most lenders offer only higher‑rate lines; consider a co‑signer or niche programs with less stringent credit rules.
- High DTI (>40%): If debt‑to‑income exceeds 40%, lenders may require additional equity or a larger down payment.
- Seasonal or contract‑based revenue: Lenders favor 12‑month consistent revenue; otherwise, they may rate you higher or ask for a 20‑25% down payment.
- Recent bankruptcy or litigation: A clean record for at least 12 months is standard; some institutions extend to 18 months with strict clauses.
When on the margin, a short‑term working‑capital line can bridge until refinance approval.
Background & how it works

The 2026 medical practice lending denial rate study shows a 14% drop in approvals compared to 2025, emphasizing stricter underwriting. In Wisconsin, state guidance indicates that many practices use the SBA 7(a) route because of its predictable terms and lower down payments.
