Overview
When Relay determines you may qualify, you’ll see an offer in the Capital tab. You can opt in to view final terms (soft credit check; no impact). If you accept and make your first draw, a hard credit check is performed.
Before you start
- Confirm your business checking account for funding and repayments
- Review your offer summary, repayment schedule, and state disclosures (e.g., CA/NY)
- Be ready to choose a single draw amount (up to your approved maximum)

Frequently Asked Questions
Does opting in affect my credit?

Why was I not approved after the final check?
