For straightforward applications, a decision can be made within 24 hours and funds deposited the same day or next business day. More complex applications requiring additional documentation may take 3–5 business days.
Getting a quote uses a soft search only — no impact on your credit score. A hard search is only conducted when you formally proceed with a full application after reviewing your loan offer.

Very helpful and incredibly easy to work with. We didn't wait long for a decision and the approval process was completely transparent. The funds arrived in our account the next morning — exactly when we needed them to pay our supplier. I'd recommend Vanguard Capital Solutions to any small business owner.
