How much revenue do I need for a business loan?

Last updated May 2026 · Reviewed by David Chen
Quick Answer

Most alternative lenders require $10,000 minimum monthly revenue. SBA loans typically need $250,000+ annual revenue. Banks vary — community banks $200K+ annual, large banks $500K+ annual. Factoring is approved based on customer creditworthiness rather than your revenue. Higher revenue = more funding options and better rates.
