Business Line of Credit — $10K–$250K, revolving. Minimum credit 600 FICO, 6+ months in business, $10K+/month revenue. Prime + 3% to mid-20s APR, plus 1–3% draw fee. Sets up in 1–3 days; draws are same-day once approved. Pay interest only on what you draw, so it's ideal for managing seasonal gaps or unexpected vehicle downtime.

Equipment Financing — $10K–$5M for vans, trucks, or delivery equipment. Minimum credit 580 FICO, 6+ months in business, $100K+/year revenue. Rates 8–25% APR; often 0% down at 650+ credit. Funding 3–7 days. Term matches asset life (48–84 months typical for vehicles).

Business Term Loan — $25K–$1M+, 1–5 years. Minimum credit 600 FICO, 12+ months in business, $100K+/year revenue. High single digits–low teens APR for strong files; 18–35% APR for thinner credit. Closes in 2–5 days, sometimes 48 hours under $250K.

Invoice Factoring — If you have unpaid B2B or B2G invoices (e.g., invoicing corporate accounts or government entities), advance up to 90% of invoice value in 24–48 hours. Cost 1–5% per invoice. No minimum credit score. Minimum 3 months in business, $25K–$50K/month in factorable invoices.

Gig & 1099 Funding — $5K–$250K for independent contractors with no registered business required. Minimum credit 550 FICO, 6+ months taking deliveries, $2.5K+/month take-home income. Factor rate 1.15–1.40 or 18–35% APR installment. Funding 24–48 hours.

The last-mile delivery market is growing fast—expected to reach $311.31 billion by 2031—and last-mile delivery costs remain the biggest margin-killer for small operators. Access to working capital and equipment financing lets you scale without bleeding cash on vehicle repairs or fuel shortfalls.

Qualification & edge cases

If you're under 6 months in business: Working capital and gig/1099 funding may still work if you show strong bank deposits and income. Some lenders will approve at 90 days with clear revenue. Talk to a lender about your exact timeline.

If you have a credit score below 600: Working capital products go down to 550 FICO—factor rates will be on the higher end (1.35–1.40). Gig/1099 funding also accepts 550+. You'll pay more, but you can still qualify. Equipment financing minimums are 580.

If you're carrying high-cost short-term debt (MCA, merchant cash advance, or payday loans): A business term loan (2–5 day close, 8–15% APR range) or business line of credit can consolidate that expensive debt at lower rates. Your monthly payment should not exceed 8–12% of gross revenue—use our affordability calculator to check.

If you have an LLC but no personal tax return (you took no draw last year): Lenders will use your business tax return and bank statements. You qualify, but ensure your business account shows consistent income.

If you're a sole proprietor filing 1099s: Business lines of credit, working capital, and gig/1099 funding all work with 1099 income, provided your bank statements show deposits matching your reported income.

Background & how it works

The delivery economy has exploded—the logistics finance market alone is projected to grow at 6.10% annually through 2034, and independent contractors now shoulder most last-mile fulfillment. But cash flow is brutal: vehicle maintenance, fuel volatility, and payroll timing gaps can force you to turn down profitable jobs or raid emergency savings.

Traditional bank loans take 30–90 days and favor established businesses. That's why alternative lenders built products specifically for delivery operators and gig workers. According to the SBA, SBA-backed 7(a) loans offer the cheapest long-term capital (Prime + 2.75–4.75%), but require 24+ months in business and 640+ FICO—they're for growth, not survival.

For startup or scaling delivery businesses, working capital and lines of credit fill the gap. You fund in 24 hours to 3 days, pay only for what you use, and stay lean. Amazon DSP contractors and independent courier services use these tools to bridge payroll, replace broken-down vans, or pre-buy fuel at discount when cash is tight.

Rates reflect risk: a 550-FICO applicant with 6 months history and $15K/month revenue will pay 25–60%+ APR on a short-term working capital draw, but you get cash in 24 hours. That may cost $250–$500 on a $10K draw, but if it keeps your vehicle running and your delivery streak alive, the ROI is clear.

Bottom line

Idaho delivery contractors and fleet owners with 6+ months operating history and $10K+/month revenue have access to same-day to 7-day funding, even with fair or thin credit. Working capital closes fastest (24–48 hours), lines of credit offer revolving flexibility, and equipment financing spreads vehicle costs over years at 8–25% APR. Get pre-qualified in 2 minutes with no credit impact and see which product fits your cash gap.
