Know which working capital loan leads are worth a pre-approval call
The intake asks how long the business has been operating, what the funds will cover, and how soon financing is needed, then collects bank statements and tax returns so only ready-to-close borrowers land in your CRM.
The exact intake your working capital loan leads complete
This is the real 7-question guided intake for Working Capital Loan — the same flow your customers finish before you ever pick up the phone.
What a qualified working capital loan lead should tell you
A working capital loan is short-term financing for payroll, inventory, or day-to-day operating costs, so the intake needs to confirm revenue status, time in business, funding amount, and how soon the cash is needed.
- Business Operating And Generating
- Long Has Business Been
- Will Working Capital Primarily
- Soon Funds
- Owner Or Authorized Decision-Maker
- Business Have Any Other
- How Much Funding Seeking
The questions your team needs answered
Every working capital loan intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Is your business currently operating and generating revenue? | A revenue-generating business is core to loan viability, which is why this answer carries the top weight in the catalog. |
| How long has your business been operating? | Tenure tiers from under six months to over two years directly track how much operating history a lender can underwrite against. |
| What will the working capital primarily be used for? | Segments the lead so you can route, price, and prioritize it correctly. |
| How soon do you need the funds? | An 'Immediately' answer is the only funding-timeline option marked urgent, separating cash-flow emergencies from casual inquiries. |
| Are you an owner or authorized decision-maker for this business? | Confirming decision-making authority up front prevents booking a pre-approval call with someone who can't sign for the business. |
| Does your business currently have any other outstanding business loans? | Existing outstanding loans affect debt-to-income and repayment capacity, so this answer shapes how underwriting will approach the file. |
| Approximately how much funding are you seeking? | The requested amount range helps size the deal and route it to the right underwriter before the call is scheduled. |

Built for working capital loan workflows
| Cliont capability | Working Capital Loan application |
|---|---|
| Weighted scoring logic | Applies higher weight to businesses operating more than six months and to confirmed owners or decision-makers, so newer or unauthorized submissions surface lower without being discarded. |
| Document collection widget | Requests bank statements and tax returns during intake instead of after the pre-approval call, so files arrive underwriting-ready. |
| Urgency tagging | Flags borrowers who select 'Immediately' on the funding-timeline question for faster routing than those still exploring options. |
| Existing-debt flag | Surfaces a 'yes' answer on outstanding business loans so your underwriting team can factor existing debt into the review before the call. |
Common working capital loan lead scenarios
Payroll running out this week
The borrower selects 'Immediately' for funding timing and payroll as the use of funds — this combination should surface at the top of your CRM for same-day outreach.
Established business, large ask
A company operating more than two years requests over $500,000 for expansion. The intake's tenure and amount answers together flag this as a high-value file worth prioritizing.
Brand-new business exploring options
A business under six months old marks 'Just exploring options' for timing. The lower tenure weight keeps this file in the pipeline without pulling underwriting time away from ready-to-close borrowers.
Employee submitting on owner's behalf
The form is filled out by someone who answers 'no' to being an owner or authorized decision-maker. That answer alone should trigger a follow-up to confirm signing authority before a pre-approval call is booked.

Working Capital Loan lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake handle borrowers who don't know their exact funding need?
The funding amount question uses ranges — Under $25,000 up to Over $500,000 — so a borrower can answer accurately without needing a precise figure, and your team can still size the request before the pre-approval call.
Can the form flag businesses that just opened?
Yes. The time-in-business question carries lower weight for under six months and rises through the one-to-two-year and two-plus-year tiers, so newer businesses are still captured but scored differently from established ones.
Does the intake ask about existing business debt?
It asks whether the business currently has other outstanding loans, which gives your underwriting team early visibility into the borrower's existing debt stack before you spend time on the file.
What happens if the person filling out the form isn't the owner?
The intake asks directly whether the respondent is an owner or authorized decision-maker, and a 'no' answer carries a much lower weight so you can route it for signer verification instead of booking a call prematurely.
How does urgency get captured for working capital requests?
The funding-timeline question separates 'Immediately' and 'Within 30 days' from '1 to 3 months' and 'Just exploring options,' letting you spot the borrowers who need cash flow resolved now.
Does the intake distinguish why the funds are needed?
Yes — the use-of-funds question separates payroll, inventory purchase, operating expenses, and expansion, so you know the purpose of the request before your team gets on the phone.
