Invisible to other lenders
Used for pre-qualification & matching
You can run unlimited soft pulls

Hard Credit Pull

Drops FICO by 5–10 points per pull
Stays on credit report for 2 years
3+ in 6 months flags credit-seeking
Triggered at formal application stage

No Hard Credit Pull Funding — FAQs

Everything small business owners ask about credit-protected funding in 2025.

A soft credit pull (also called a soft inquiry) lets a lender see your credit profile to pre-qualify you for funding without affecting your credit score. A hard credit pull is a formal credit application that appears on your credit report and can lower your score by 5–10 points per inquiry. Multiple hard pulls in a short period can compound that damage.

No. Pro Capital uses only a soft credit pull to place you with the right lender and surface offers. There is no hard pull, and applying has zero impact on your credit score.

Pro Capital uses a soft pull only for lines of credit, short-term working capital, invoice factoring, and many term loans. Applying does not impact your credit score, and there is no hard pull.

A single hard inquiry typically drops your FICO score by 5–10 points and stays on your report for two years. Three or more hard inquiries in a six-month window signal credit-seeking behavior to lenders and can compound the score impact, making future approvals harder.

OnDeck performs a soft credit pull at the pre-qualification stage but moves to a hard pull when you complete a full application for funding. If you submit a full application and don't fund, the hard pull stays on your report for two years.

Bluevine uses a soft pull at pre-qualification for its line of credit, but a hard pull is triggered at the final underwriting step before approval. Their business checking product does not trigger a hard pull.
