"Small business loan" is an umbrella term for a dozen different financing structures — SBA, term loans, lines of credit, equipment financing, revenue-based advances, and more. The right answer for your Aurora business depends on how much you need, how fast you need it, what you'll use it for, and how your credit and cash flow look today.
Marquette Capital Group is a full-shop small business lender. That means we don't push a single product; we look at your file and match it to the program most likely to close at the lowest cost. If a bank term loan fits, we do that. If an SBA 7(a) fits, we do that. If a working-capital advance is the only option, we're honest about it.
Every Aurora file gets a real underwriter, a real advisor, and a real conversation about tradeoffs — not a form-based quote engine.
“The best small business loan is the one that actually funds — at the lowest total cost, in the timeframe you need, without covenants that box you in. We'll usually present two options side-by-side (a cheaper/slower and a faster/pricier) so you can choose with your eyes open.”
It depends on the program. SBA and bank paper generally want 660+. Working-capital and revenue-based products fund from 550+. We'll match the file to the credit box.

Not always. Many programs underwrite off gross deposits or receivables rather than net income. Consistent revenue matters more than accounting profit for shorter-term structures.
Yes — see our Aurora startup business loans page. Options for pre-revenue businesses are more limited but real, especially for franchises and licensed professionals.
Almost always for businesses under $5M in revenue. It's standard commercial lending practice, not something specific to us.
