A hamlet built around Route 25 and the shopping strips along it

Jericho is a hamlet and census-designated place in Nassau County, on Long Island's North Shore, with a 2020 census population of 14,808. Jericho Turnpike (Route 25) runs through it, and Routes 106 and 107 cross nearby. The commercial life follows those roads: shopping centers built during the post-war suburban expansion, plus a retail and industrial pocket in the Jericho Gardens section along Cantiague Rock Road.

That mix matters for working capital. A storefront on the Turnpike, a contractor's yard off Cantiague Rock Road and a professional office all carry different cash-flow gaps, and a credit score from three years ago says very little about any of them. If you are in Nassau County and a bank turned you down on credit alone, the rest of this page is about what a funder looks at instead.

What a funder reads when the credit score is low

We consider applicants with a FICO score of 500 or higher. The application takes about five minutes and uses a soft credit pull, so checking where you stand does not add a hard inquiry to your file. Instead of tax returns, we ask for about three months of business bank statements.

Those statements show deposits arriving, payroll and rent leaving, and whether the account stays healthy through the slow weeks. A late card payment in 2022 does not appear there. A steady pattern of customer deposits does. Sole proprietors can apply, so you do not need an LLC or a corporation to be considered.

Three Jericho-style cash gaps, with illustrative numbers

The figures below are round numbers for illustration only. They are not our terms, rates or typical outcomes.

BusinessWhere the gap opensWhat the money would cover
Turnpike-side retailerSpring stock is bought in January; sales arrive from April onwardA $60,000 inventory order placed before the season
Office-park service firmClients pay invoices 45 to 60 days after work is doneTwo payroll cycles and a software renewal while invoices sit open
Trades contractorA van or compressor fails mid-jobA $25,000 equipment replacement so crews keep working

In each case the problem is timing, not profitability. Funding is useful when the revenue is real and the calendar is the obstacle.

Before you apply, tidy these four things

  1. Separate the accounts. If personal and business spending share one account, statements are harder to read. Move business deposits into a dedicated account at least a month ahead if you can.
  2. Pull three months of statements. Every page, not screenshots of balances.
  3. Know what the money is for. A specific purchase or a specific gap is easier to evaluate than a general need.
  4. Know your monthly obligations. Existing payments you already carry affect what makes sense to add. Be upfront about them.

Nearby, and how Jericho fits the Long Island map

Glen Cove, Hicksville, Levittown, East Meadow, Elmont, Baldwin, Oceanside and Uniondale are all within the same Nassau County market, and the same application applies to all of them. For the wider picture, see our Long Island business funding page.

Funding ranges from $25,000 to $5,000,000, and approved businesses can be funded in as little as 24 hours. If the amount you need is smaller than $25,000, this is probably not the right product, and it is better to know that before you apply.
