Securing business capital is often the biggest hurdle for entrepreneurs and real estate investors who want to scale their ventures. Traditional bank loans can be hard to obtain, slow to process, and filled with restrictive requirements. But the good news is that there are innovative strategies that offer access to $50,000 to $250,000 in business credit—often at 0% interest.
In a recent episode of Raising Private Money, industry expert Ari Page, founder and CEO of Fund&Grow, shared invaluable insights on how to strategically tap into business credit and grow your business without the stress of traditional lending.
Business Credit: An Untapped Resource
Many people mistakenly believe that their funding options are limited to hard money lenders, banks, or mortgage companies. Business credit cards, however, are often overlooked as a viable funding tool. These cards are designed specifically for business purposes and, when leveraged correctly, can provide a flexible, affordable alternative for financing deals, covering rehab costs, and paying for contractors or marketing campaigns.
The notion that a business credit card can only be used for routine purchases is a misconception. Thanks to approved third-party payment services, business owners can use their credit cards to pay vendors who don’t accept cards, write checks, or even fund escrow accounts. This flexibility is a game-changer for investors who need to move quickly and efficiently.
The Power of 0% Interest
One of the most attractive features of business credit cards is the availability of introductory 0% interest rates, which typically range from 6 to 18 months. This means entrepreneurs can finance deals, pay for materials, or cover business expenses without incurring immediate interest charges. During this time, it’s possible to complete rehab projects, flip properties, or increase cash flow, making repayment much more manageable. Banks are motivated to offer these deals because they earn substantial fees from merchants every time a card is swiped, not just from interest paid by borrowers.
The rewards don’t stop at low interest rates. Many business credit cards also offer cash back and airline miles, which can further reduce the cost of doing business. By stacking cards and repeating the funding process over multiple rounds, entrepreneurs can maintain a cycle of low-interest financing for new projects.
How Business Credit Supports Real Estate Investing
The flexibility and speed provided by business credit cards make them ideal for real estate investors. According to Ari Page, some of the most popular uses among his clients are funding rehabs and providing down payments for larger projects. Instead of being limited by the restrictions of hard money loans, investors can draw directly from their business credit lines or use payment services to pay contractors or escrow accounts. When the property is improved and refinanced, the credit cards are paid off, freeing those lines for the next project.
Qualifying for business credit is also more straightforward than many believe. A 700+ personal credit score is essential, and you need a business entity. Even startups can qualify, making this an excellent option for new entrepreneurs. Once granted, these cards typically do not affect your personal credit report, provided they are kept in good standing.
Why Professional Guidance Is Key
While it may be tempting to apply for business credit independently, data shows that working with experienced professionals like Fund&Grow can significantly increase your funding potential. The application and negotiation process with banks is nuanced, and most approvals are secured through strategic follow-ups and negotiations—not just the initial application. In fact, the majority of funding secured for clients is obtained after the formal application process, a result of specific techniques honed over years of experience.
Navigating business credit cards in today’s evolving lending landscape can be challenging, with changing offer terms and tighter standards compared to previous years. Expertise matters more than ever to avoid mistakes and maximize approvals.
Take the Next Step
For real estate investors and business owners eager to expand, leveraging business credit is a smart move. The process is quicker, more flexible, and often cheaper than traditional funding sources. With the right guidance, you can secure significant capital, seize new opportunities, and drive your business forward—without being beholden to the bank.

Fund & Grow Secrets: Ari Page Explains Fast, Flexible Business Credit for Real Estate Success
Jay Conner [00:00:01]:
What if you could fund your next real estate deal without asking a bank for permission? What if you had access to $50,000, $100,000, or even $250,000 in business credit at 0% interest, and you could use it to fund deals, use it for marketing, or use it for operating capital? Ask, what if you could do it without jumping through the traditional lending hoops that stop so many real estate investors in their tracks? Well, today you’re going to learn exactly how that works. Welcome to another episode of Raising Private Money.

So if you ever wondered how to access serious capital without going to traditional lenders, you’re going to love this conversation. I’m going to introduce you to Ari Page, and you’re going to meet him right after this.
Narrator [00:02:04]:
If you’re a real estate investor and are wondering how to raise and leverage private money to make more profit on every deal, then you’re in the right place. On Raising Private Money, we’ll speak with new and seasoned investors to dissect their deals and extract the best tips and strategies to help you get the money, because the money comes first. Now here’s your host, Jay Conner.
Jay Conner [00:02:32]:
Ari, welcome to the show.
Ari Page [00:02:34]:
Awesome. Thanks so much for having me.
Jay Conner [00:02:37]:
You’re absolutely welcome, Ari. So good to see you. You know, you’ve helped entrepreneurs access over $2 billion in business credit. So let’s just go to your origin story. Let’s start here. How did you first discover this world of business credit and realize it could become such a powerful funding strategy for entrepreneurs and real estate investors?
Ari Page [00:03:02]:
Well, it really was because I was struggling in 2005 to find traditional financing to move my real estate operations forward. And, um, it was, you know, I was tapped out on all the traditional loans. So I met this mortgage broker, and I became friends with him, and I started working together with him, helping do more, uh, broker mortgage loans with him. And that was right in 2005, 2006, uh, timeframe. And so we started doing that, uh, all the way up till 2007. And then, as the markets began to crash, our entire mortgage company at that point, we kind of retooled, and we started to use business credit cards to help clients where the loan-to-value amounts were dropping on the different loans that we were helping them get. And back then,n we were getting up to $500,000 pretty easily, and they were able to use it in conjunction with different types of loans in terms of using it for down payments, uh, because the loan-to-value amounts were dropping. They were dropping fast.
Ari Page [00:04:11]:
And then, of course, there was the big market crash of 2008. And at that point, we fully transitioned over to helping clients get access to business credit as the most viable, the easiest option to help them fund their business.
Jay Conner [00:04:29]:
Yeah, your story is very, very similar to mine. It was out of necessity back in 2009 when I was cut off from the banks, I had to find a better and quicker way. And that’s why I started using private money. What I love about the service that you provide to real estate investors and entrepreneurs is that it’s a beautiful complement to the private money strategy that I use as well. And you know, there’s a big misconception. Most real estate investors think their only options are hard money lenders, banks, and mortgage companies. So let me ask you, Ari, in your opinion, what’s the biggest misconception people have about business credit and accessing capital?
Ari Page [00:05:17]:
Well, that is that the use of a business credit card won’t be helpful in my real estate business. Like, how can a business credit card meaningfully replace a hard money loan, for example? How could I use it for rehab? Or how could I use it to fund an escrow account? So a lot of times people don’t realize, first off, how easy it is to get approved for business credit cards. And they might be a solo entrepreneur or a real estate investor. They don’t realize you’re a business. You are a business. You can get access to business credit. And then how do I use those business credit cards like a line of credit? And I’m not talking about doing illegal cash advances or liquidating credit cards. That’s completely against the card issuer’s rules.
Ari Page [00:06:05]:
I’m talking about using trusted third-party payment services that allow you— that they’re approved to directly wire money from your credit card into an escrow account or to pay a vendor or a contractor that doesn’t accept credit cards. So once they learned that using a business credit card is a smart strategy for leveraging. And because when we think of credit cards, we generally tend to think of bad debt, but real estate investors are doing their proper due diligence. They, or at least you, should be, and they’re vetting out their deals. They know that if they can get access to a 0% introductory credit card, that might be an introductory 0% for 6 months or up to 18 months. I would think of how many deals you can do in that period of time without having to pay points and closing costs on a loan, paying high interest during that period of time. And then through the card stacking process, being able to rinse and repeat, do it over and over. And so the biggest misconception is that you can’t use a business credit card for a real estate investing business.
Jay Conner [00:07:14]:
So you mentioned using these third-party companies where you’ll actually give your business credit card to them and they can convert that transaction to where if you have an invoice to pay to a general contractor or a draw or whatever, these third-party people, these third-party companies can take your business credit card and actually generate a check and, and put that in the mail for you, right? Exactly.
Ari Page [00:07:42]:
And the only caveat is you can’t pay yourself if you can’t pay your own entity. You can’t pay your wife’s entity, but you can pay any business that is giving you an invoice for services that need to be rendered. Or,r for example, you could fund an escrow account, but of course, you have to keep in mind that you always need to disclose to a mortgage company or to a hard money company where you’re receiving your down payment money from.
Jay Conner [00:08:10]:
Sure. Now you talk a lot about 0%, 0%. Uh, interest rates, business credit, um, and you know, you talk about getting $50,000 to $250,000, you know, for real estate investors or entrepreneurs at 0% interest business, you know, it almost sounds too good to be true. How does that actually work?
Ari Page [00:08:35]:
Yeah, so this is, this is a pretty common question, like how can they offer 0% cards and why would it even Why does it even make sense? But guys, think about this. Think about this. The bank is not only making money from the interest rate on a credit card. If you are getting access to a 0% introductory card, that means you are a prime borrower. Prime borrower means likely you have above a 700 credit score. The default rate on prime borrowers is extremely low, so they know that they’re going to get paid back, number one. So it’s not just about the interest rate. It is about every time you swipe your card, every time they give a business owner a credit card, you’re going to then use that card, and you’re going to purchase things with it.
Ari Page [00:09:26]:
And every time you purchase, the merchant that you’re purchasing from has to pay an interchange fee or a merchant processing fee. So if you’re at Home Depot and you’re buying materials and you swipe your card at the counter, they’re going to pay a 3-4% fee. That fee that the bank earns is— it makes it worth it for them to get these cards in your hand. Do you guys understand? The bank doesn’t just make money off the interest rate. They’re making money hand over fist from you simply swiping your card. The more businesses out there with credit cards, in fact, the more people out there with credit cards, the more that you’re swiping, you’re using the cards, and they make money on merchant fees. They make so much money on merchant fees that they’ll actually split the fee with you and give you cash back, rewards, and airline miles. I have over a million American Airlines miles.
Ari Page [00:10:22]:
I could fly anywhere for free on those American airline miles, uh, and I have some cards that give me up to 5% cash back, some at 3% cash back. Imagine doing a project and just bringing the price of the project down by 3% or 5%, depending on the card and the amount of cash back they give you. It’s the— it really does sound too good to be true, but all you have to do is g,o and Google 0% business credit cards and you’ll see all the major banks offer. It’s not a loophole. These cards have been out for over 2 to 3 decades. This is something that the banks have been offering for a long time.
Jay Conner [00:11:03]:
Amazing. Okay, let’s connect the dots for my audience. I want us to drill down even more. We touched on it. But how can a real estate investor specifically use business credit to fund deals, marketing, and operations? And you know, you’ve helped countless entrepreneurs and real estate investors. What are the most popular ways that you’re hearing from your clients that you get them this business credit for them, that they’re using this strategy, or using these credit cards?
Ari Page [00:11:36]:
So yeah, so we’ve helped over 35,000 clients actually go through this process and receive over 2 points— almost $2.1 billion in total funding. So we’re about to push that $2.1 billion, uh, number. And so some of the most popular things that people— that businesses will use this for is for replacing a hard money loan on a rehab. That is something that is extremely common for real estate investors. Why get a hard money loan for the rehab when you can replace that with 0% business credit cards? And you can use the payment services in the rare instance that you need to pay a vendor or a contractor that doesn’t accept credit cards. Now, as we know, most of them do accept credit cards, so you can replace a hard money loan. Now, many hard money loans or even private money will allow you to use an unsecured business credit card, the funds from it, as a down payment. So through the payment processors, like for example, Plastiq.com— and that’s the word plastic with a Q at the end— uh, so what, what they do is they, they actually allow you to fund an escrow account.
Ari Page [00:12:47]:
Now you always need to disclose to the lender where you’re receiving your down payment money from, so you need to make sure that the hard money lender that you’re working with allows you to use that. So some of our clients will use down payments from their business credit cards. They fund their deal, they purchase, and they rehab using business credit cards. Then once they’re the— they’ve rehabbed, and they have rented out the property, they then refinance the property using a DSCR loan, for example. Then, once they’ve pulled 70-75% out through DSC, R they then pay back all of the credit cards, nd of course, any original hard money loan that they may have taken out at that time. So there’s a variety of different ways of using it, but those are the two most popular.
Jay Conner [00:13:38]:
Excellent. Now let’s talk about who qualifies. Do your clients who get on these, uh, business lines or the business credit cards need a long-established business, high income, perfect credit? What’s the ideal client looking like there?
Ari Page [00:13:56]:
So an ideal client has a really good personal credit score. We only work with clients who have a 700 credit score or better. Now, why are we even talking about personal credit if we’re talking about business credit? And the reason is that a business credit card is personally guaranteed. They are going to first look at your personal credit and determine your creditworthiness. Now, a business credit card will not report on your personal credit report if you keep it in good standing, have no late payments, and don’t default. If you keep your card in good standing, the business credit card will not report on your personal report. They’re going to look at your personal report in that initial application process, and an inquiry is incurred at that time. So, uh, but then once they’ve granted you the credit, it reports to Equifax Business, to Experian Business, as well as to the Paydex, uh, to Dun Bradstreet credit profile, which builds you a Paydex score.
Ari Page [00:15:04]:
And so that’s really what you want to do, is you want to start building your business credit profile. That way, you can get access to more and more funding. So having at least a 700 credit score. Now you need to have an entity. Now, by the way, this is also something we’ll help clients with because business credit cards are one of the most preferred lending vehicles for the banks for startup businesses. If you’re a startup business, you will qualify for business credit cards. And this is a beauty, a really beautiful aspect of business credit cards that a lot of other business loans don’t have— that you can’t qualify for if you’re a startup. So whether you’re doing $10, $20 million a year, whether you’re a startup, you’re going to be able to qualify for business credit.
Ari Page [00:15:49]:
And one of the major things that, one of the major hurdles is just having good personal credit. If you have good personal credit, and guys, you want to make sure that you’re using your business credit. You don’t want to use personal credit cards in your business. That really harms your personal credit. Your credit scores go up and down along with the balances of your credit cards, and the same credit stacking process of using business cards doesn’t work if you’re trying it with personal cards. So the qualifications are to have an entity or a business and to have good personal credit. Now, if you don’t already have an entity set up, this is another thing that Fund&Grow will actually help you with. So we don’t, we don’t pay for the state filing fees, but we will provide you the articles of incorporation, make sure that it’s set up correctly, correctly.
Ari Page [00:16:37]:
Make sure that your NAICS codes match your industry so that when we take you to the bank, you’re going to actually qualify, and not just qualify, but for high limits. So those are the basic qualifications of what you need for business credit cards.
Jay Conner [00:16:54]:
Perfect. Now, if someone’s listening right now here to the show and they want to access capital quickly, realistically, really, how fast can someone get access to this kind of funding?
Ari Page [00:17:10]:
So the way that Fund&Grow operates, and if you were to try this on your own, this is what you would need to do: we apply in what we call rounds of funding. So we do 3 rounds of funding over a 12-month period of time, providing a lot of consulting to the small business in between each round of funding. So, for example, how to use the card like a line of credit, what are the best utilization patterns, and a whole variety of other things. And the best way of getting access to this is to first look over your personal credit, make sure there’s no disqualifiers that would stop you from being able to, uh, to get it. For example, you can’t have bad credit, you can’t have any negative items on your credit report, and we don’t help with credit repair. That’s not anything that we do. But what we would do is then we would look at the client’s profile, determine their eligibility. Then, based on our history of working with 35,000 clients, we would determine which of the best 5 banks to take you to first.
Ari Page [00:18:11]:
So then we would perform what we call your first round of funding. Now, on that first round of funding, you could get anywhere from $50,000 to $70,000. And that is if you have above a 700 score. For well-qualified clients, in other words, you have a way higher than a 700, they’re receiving up to $100,000 on that first round. And then 4 months later, 3 to 4 to 5 months later, we can then go for your second round of funding and build an additional $50,000, $70,000, up to $100,000, depending on what you qualify for. And then of course, we would do the third round of funding. So not all of the funding comes in on the first round, but our clients are receiving that first round of funding. They’re starting that first round of funding within 14 to 21 days after starting our program.
Ari Page [00:19:08]:
And of course, there are actually clients that get into funding even sooner than that, as little as a couple of days after getting into the program, as long as there’s nothing that needs to be changed on their profile. But if there is work that we need to do, then they’re typically average— the average that we— that it takes when we look at our data, it’s about 14 to 21 days for clients to get into that first round. Then they’re doing their second round in about the middle of the program, so that could be like 5 months later. Then they’re doing the final round in month 10 or month 11 of the program. So 3 rounds of funding can generate up to $250,000 to $300,000 of funding for well-qualified clients. You have to have a 700 score or higher to be able to build up to the more substantial amounts.
Jay Conner [00:19:57]:
So you mentioned this, uh, briefly a moment ago, Ari. Um, you know, people have a choice. I mean, they can attempt to go out on their own and apply for business credit cards, or they can be a client of yours. So I know you’ve got the data on this. What are the biggest mistakes people make when trying to build or use business credit on their own, and not have, you know, a professional team like you have to do it for them to make sure they can get the most in their lines of credit?
Ari Page [00:20:35]:
So one of the big mistakes that we’re seeing now is that people come to us after trying to use AI to get them business credit. And it just flabbergasted me that people would actually go and put their personal information into AI. And guys, as a fair warning, do not go and put your personal information, your EIN for your business, and your address and all of that into an open AI, into ChatGPT. You’re sharing all that sensitive data with that company. And so what we’ve seen is people have tried to use AI to get access to funding. And it’s just, it’s created a whole quagmire on their report, all kinds of inquiries that resulted in things that they weren’t even looking for, funding that they weren’t even looking for. And so our process is extremely selective. It’s based on working with 35,000 clients over the past 19 years.
Ari Page [00:21:28]:
We’re fully FTC compliant in every way. And the way that we operate is much different. So we are a consulting service. Now, we actually do the applications for you, but the most important part, our data shows, our 2025 data shows that 72.4% of all of our funding approvals come after the application process. And what I mean by that is sometimes, 27.6% of the time, you’ll get approved right on the application, right when we apply. But 72.4% of the time, the funding comes in after the application process, from us walking the client through our powerful negotiation process. And what that involves is the client verifying themself with the bank, asking for higher limits with the underwriter, merging old interest-bearing credit cards into the new 0% applications that we applied for. You’d be surprised how amazing that migration process is, how much funding you can get by converting your old credit cards from the same institution into a 0% card with an application from that same institution, as well as the client directly negotiating with the underwriter.
Ari Page [00:22:49]:
And we walk you through all of that in a fully compliant way. So you know exactly what number to call, exactly who to talk to, exactly what to say in order to get these approvals. You’d be surprised how often the business card applications just get stalled in the bank process, where they’re waiting for the client to verify themselves. And then when they are verifying themselves, they can go over all these negotiation points. And that is where our data shows that 72.4% of our funding comes from. And by the way, Jay, I couldn’t, I couldn’t throw that number out without being shut down by the FTC. If I couldn’t fully back that up through data. Our data over the past 19 years of showing clients coming into the program, of the applications, walking through this, this negotiating verification process, proves from every single touchpoint, every single email, every single phone call, every single coaching call, every single application, every single negotiation and approval is tracked meticulously.
Ari Page [00:23:55]:
We are able to prove this data without a shadow of a doubt. This is hard facts of what we, of what we provide for our clients. And another way of saying it, Jay, is that 72.4% of the time, the small business could not do this on their own.
Jay Conner [00:24:13]:
Yeah, another way I was hearing it was if someone tries to do this on their own, if they can even get approved at all, uh, they’re going to miss out on 74% of the potential funding that they could get if they were working with you and your team. Yeah, exactly. That’s amazing. That’s amazing. Well, here we are in 2026, Ari. What’s going on differently this year? Uh, what are some of those big topics that are at the forefront of your mind for this year in 2026, as relates to the business funding service that you provide?
Ari Page [00:24:52]:
Yeah, so that’s a great question because boy, have things changed since 2020. And we get asked this all the time. What has changed? Are business credit cards still something that I can get approved for? Is this something that still works in 2026? And the answer is that it does work, but it’s much harder. The 0% offers still exist. They’re not as long as they were in 2020. In 2020, there were quite a few 2-year offers. In today’s market, it’s much more common to get a 12-month at 0% offer. Um, it takes a lot more legwork to get approved for the applications.
Ari Page [00:25:32]:
The banks are a lot more selective in who they approve. And quite frankly, our job is a lot harder than it was in 2020. And it could just be due to the overall economy. It could be due to credit standards tightening. It could be because there was so much free money in, you know, during COVID, and how the inflation was just going insane. The banks were just pumping out money. The Fed, you know, had lowered its rates, then it raised rates. And so there’s a variety of different things.
Ari Page [00:26:05]:
It was the perfect storm at that time. We were getting so much funding at that time. It was so quick. It was so easy. It was flowing in. But last year, we still generated $175 million in total funding. And the actual number, I think it was like $174 point something, but right around that number in total funding last year. And all of that, every single one of those cards was a 0% introductory card for either 6 months at 0%, 12 months at 0%, or 18 months at 0%.
Ari Page [00:26:39]:
And the banks are still approving it. It’s just a little bit more legwork. It’s a little bit harder. We wish that things were kind of like they were in 2020, except minus the inflation. But, you know, here we are in 2026 helping people and funding not only deals but dreams.
Jay Conner [00:26:59]:
That’s amazing, Ari. Well, I don’t know anybody else who has got any more expertise and knowledge on how to get this kind of business funding in place. So, for those of our audience who want to get in contact with you, and let’s get rolling, uh, what’s the best way for them to do that?
Ari Page [00:27:19]:
So the best way to do that is for you to go through our pre-qualification tool. Now, and you can see that right there on your screen, it’s fundandgrow.com/jConnerpq. That PQ stands for pre-qualify. Now, what this is going to do is this is going to register you for a free business credit consultation and put you through the pre-qualification process so that our business consultants know exactly where you stand when they’re giving you your free business credit consultation. Now, there is no credit inquiry incurred from this prequalification process, but should you move forward and work with us, when we apply for you, there will be inquiries on your credit report. That’s just the nature of applying for business credit cards. However, the prequalification process does not put an inquiry on your credit report. That is a soft pull; there’s no obligation.
Ari Page [00:28:20]:
You can, you can go to that link that’s on your screen,n and you can fill out the form. And what that will do is that it’ll immediately allow you to know how much funding you may qualify for, as well as register you for a free business credit consultation. My team will reach out to you, and they will talk to you. Now, even if we can’t help you, we’re going to point you in the right direction. If something is going on on your profile and you need to get that fixed, that will point you to another company that can help you get that fixed. There’s always a path forward, uh, even if you’re not able to get funded right away.
Jay Conner [00:29:00]:
So let’s put, uh, let everybody know that URL. I’m going to spell it out for those of you who are listening on the podcast. Of course, this URL is in the show notes. So that’s— so to get started, you’ve got your free business consultation, um, and an initial pre-qualification, go to www.FundAndGrow.com/JayConnerpq
Jay Conner [00:29:37]:
