Can an LLC Get a Loan Without Income?

An LLC can get a loan without income only in limited cases, and it is worth being direct about that: business lenders underwrite repayment, and an LLC with no income has no repayment source to show.

50+ Lenders|Funding in as little as 24 hours

The Full Answer

The exceptions that genuinely exist. Equipment financing: lenders will fund the purchase of trucks, machinery, or hardware for a no-income LLC because the asset secures the loan and your personal credit backs it. SBA microloans: designed for early-stage businesses, in smaller amounts. Venture debt: available if your LLC has raised equity funding. And personal-credit-based financing: the lender is really underwriting you, not the LLC, and you will sign personally either way.

What will not work: applying to standard term loan, line of credit, or working capital lenders with an empty business bank account. Those products require deposit history, usually 3–6 months minimum.

The fastest way to change your answer is revenue, even modest revenue. A few months of consistent deposits moves your LLC from nearly unfundable into a market where lenders fund businesses doing $10K a month.
