HoneyBook Capital is designed to make business funding simple, fast, fair, and founder-friendly. This guide explains everything you need to know about qualifying for a loan, completing your application, receiving funds, and understanding where to find your pre-selected offer. If you have a HoneyBook Capital pre-selected offer, you can begin your application through the HoneyBook Capital dashboard. With no impact to your credit score and a simple repayment structure, it’s a smart step towards growth.
How to qualify for HoneyBook Capital
HoneyBook Capital is currently an invitation-only financing program, available to qualifying members who process payments through HoneyBook. Eligibility is determined primarily by your business’ sales history, account activity, and payment volume.
If you qualify, you’ll find your personalized pre-selected offer in the HoneyBook Capital dashboard on the HoneyBook desktop site or mobile app, which remains valid for 14 calendar days. All pre-selected offers are subject to credit review and aren’t guaranteed, even if you’re pre-qualified.
Your credit score won’t be affected during the application process, as HoneyBook performs a soft credit pull that doesn’t appear on your credit report. Additionally, personal credit is never reported—only business credit is impacted in the event of a loan default.
Collateral isn’t required, but borrowers must grant a first lien security interest in the company’s assets. This is standard for business lending and gives the lender enforcement rights if the loan defaults.
Find your HoneyBook Capital pre-selected offer
If you're eligible:
Your personalized pre-selected offer will appear in your HoneyBook Capital dashboard on the desktop version of HoneyBook
You’ll be notified by email and can view your pre-selected offer directly in the mobile app
If you don’t see a pre-selected offer, your account is currently ineligible. Eligibility can fluctuate based on payment processing volume and transaction frequency.
Pre-selected offers can’t be manually generated, but HoneyBook reviews accounts daily and updates eligibility in real time. If your business qualifies, you’ll receive an email and see your pre-selected offer directly in the HoneyBook Capital dashboard.
If your pre-selected offer expires, it may be due to changes in your transaction history or projected payment activity. You can always check back later—we’ll reassess and provide a new pre-selected offer if your business meets updated criteria.
