- A proprietary, end-to-end digital platform that automates the underwriting process from application to servicing. This technology analyzes a multitude of data points beyond traditional credit scores, enabling a more holistic assessment of a business's health, which facilitates rapid decision-making and funding. The platform also serves as a 'lending-as-a-service' tool for 1West's network of ISOs and brokers., A primary value proposition is the rapid speed of funding, with the company claiming to provide capital in as little as 24-48 hours for certain working capital products. This quick turnaround is a significant differentiator from traditional lenders and is enabled by the efficiency of the ABLE platform., 1West specifically targets the subprime market, with a stated minimum FICO score requirement of 500. It also caters to early-stage businesses, with minimum time-in-business requirements as low as 3 months and monthly revenue as low as $5,000, making financing accessible to businesses that may not qualify for traditional loans., The company operates a structured renewal program for existing customers who are in good standing. This program offers a streamlined path to subsequent rounds of funding, potentially with pre-approved offers or an expedited application process, aiming to increase customer lifetime value., While serving a broad range of small businesses, 1West has developed a specialty in several specific verticals, including restaurants, construction, trucking, beauty salons, daycare, and medical/medical equipment., A unique aspect of 1West's model is its integration with credit card processing services. This facilitates products like Merchant Cash Advances (MCAs) where repayments are made via a percentage of future credit card sales, providing 1West with direct revenue insight and a streamlined repayment mechanism.
