Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about working with Core Ascent.

For Business Owners

What does it cost to partner with Core Ascent?
Nothing upfront. There are no enrollment fees, monthly minimums, or hidden charges. Our revenue comes from the lending and product relationships, not from you.
Do I have to switch from my current financing company?
No. We add options alongside what you already have. If you're happy with your current lender, great. We'll supplement it with additional lending partners so more customers get approved.
How quickly can my business get set up?
Most businesses are fully onboarded within one to two weeks. Some lender approvals may take slightly longer depending on your state and business type.
What types of businesses do you work with?
We work with dental practices, medical spas, veterinary clinics, aesthetic medicine practices, plastic surgeons, IVF and fertility clinics, adoption services, auto repair shops, and other consumer service businesses.
How many lending partners are in your network?
We work with a growing network of lending partners that ranges from household names to specialized lenders. The specific lenders available to your business depend on your state, industry, and average transaction size.

For Customers

Will applying affect my credit score?
The initial application uses a soft credit inquiry, which does not impact your score. A hard inquiry only occurs if you choose to accept a specific financing offer.
How fast will I get a decision?
Most applicants receive a decision within minutes. In some cases, additional documentation may be requested, which can extend the process to 24 hours.
What if my credit isn't great?
Because we work with multiple lenders, we can often find options for a range of credit profiles. Even if one lender declines, another may approve you at different terms.
Are there prepayment penalties?
Our lending partners typically do not charge prepayment penalties. You can generally pay off your balance at any time. Check the specific terms of your offer for details.
Are there any hidden fees?
All terms, rates, and fees are disclosed before you accept any offer. You'll know your exact monthly payment upfront. Specific terms vary by lender.
