How to Apply — Step by Step

Here is exactly what you will see after you click the homeowner button above. There is no cost to apply and you are never obligated to accept an offer.

  1. 1
    Step 1

    Choose your purpose and amount

    Pick Home Improvement as the loan purpose, then enter how much you need. The range is $500 to $100,000. If you are not sure, use the total on your Hello Projects Pro estimate.

  2. 2
    Step 2

    Select your credit range

    You choose the range that describes you: Excellent (720+), Good (660–719), Fair (600–659) or Poor (300–599). This is your own estimate — you do not need a credit report or any documents.

  3. 3
    Step 3

    Enter employment and income

    Select Employed, Self-Employed, Not Employed or Other, then enter your annual pre-tax income. You may include wages, retirement income, investment income and rental income.

  4. 4
    Step 4

    Add your housing and contact details

    Your home address and roughly how long you have lived there, plus your full name, date of birth (you must be 18 or older), phone number and email. Use an email you actually check — the platform is paperless and your offers arrive there.

  5. 5
    Step 5

    Verify your identity if asked

    If the system cannot confirm who you are from the details above, it will ask for your Social Security Number. This is still a soft credit check and does not affect your score.

  6. 6
    Step 6

    Compare your offers and choose

    Your request is matched with up to five lending partners. You will see the amount, APR, term and monthly payment for each offer before you commit to anything. Accept the one you want, or walk away — there is no obligation and no fee.

Once you accept an offer, tell your Hello Projects Pro project manager and we will lock in your start date.

  3. 3

    Choose the purpose — expansion, working capital, payroll, equipment and more — then the amount, what matters most to you (amount, speed or cost of funds), and how soon you need it.

    A specialist contacts you

    After you submit, your pre-application goes to a commercial financing specialist who reviews it for your situation and follows up by phone or email.

What credit score do I need?

There are programs for a wide range of profiles, and credit profiles starting around 500 are considered. Approval and your rate are decided by the lending partner, not by us.
