  1. Apply online in a few minutes.
  2. Sign securely on any device.
  3. Upload four recent complete business bank statements (four is the minimum).
  4. Provider review: a funding provider looks at your whole file and decides.

Why the cause of the dip matters

Many dips have a clear story, and a clear story helps a provider understand your file. Each provider decides for itself.

Situational: a clear, temporary cause
  • Seasonal slow period that follows your usual pattern.
  • A lost customer you are replacing.
  • A short closure for repairs or permits.
Systemic: a longer pattern
  • A steady fall with no sign of levelling off.
  • A shrinking market with no replacement revenue yet.
  • If this sounds like you, a short note about what has changed can help, and waiting for deposits to steady may put you in a stronger position.

A provider sizes any offer on what your statements show today, so a smaller number than your best months is possible. That is a reason to apply with your latest statements, not a reason to wait on the dream.

FAQ

Can I get business funding if my revenue is declining?

You can apply. A funding provider looks at your overall picture, including the trend, your current deposit levels and what is behind the dip, and decides for itself. Nothing here is a guarantee, and T.A.G. does not make the funding decision.

What is the difference between a situational and a systemic decline?

A situational decline has a clear, temporary cause such as a seasonal slow period, a lost customer you are replacing or a short closure. A systemic decline is a longer pattern with no sign of levelling off. Providers weigh the cause against what your statements show.

What should I include with a declining-revenue application?

Your signed application and your four most recent complete consecutive business bank statements, all pages. A short note explaining the dip and what has changed since is optional but can help the provider understand your file. A photo ID and voided business check are requested after approval, never at the initial submission.

Is there a revenue decline percentage that decides the outcome?

No. There is no universal cutoff, and T.A.G. does not publish one, because each funding provider uses its own criteria and makes its own decision.
