Will checking financing affect a participant’s credit score?

Q: Will checking financing affect a participant’s credit score?

No. Our lending partners use a soft credit inquiry to determine whether an applicant may qualify for available financing offers. A soft inquiry does not affect the applicant's credit score. If the applicant chooses to move forward with a loan, the participating lender may perform a hard credit inquiry as part of the final approval process.

DISCLOSURE

Coach Financing Solutions is a referral marketplace, not a lender, and does not make credit decisions, extend credit, or issue loans. We connect coaches, consultants, course creators, and prospective clients with independent third-party participating lenders. All loan approvals, underwriting, funding, loan servicing, repayment, and collections are handled solely by the lender. Financing options may not be available in all states, territories, or for all program types. Applicants should carefully review all loan terms, fees, and lender disclosures before accepting any financing offer.

¹ Qualified applicants may be eligible for unsecured point-of-sale financing up to $100,000, with fixed interest rates and repayment terms ranging from 12 to 60 months. Financing options, loan amounts, APRs, interest rates, fees, repayment terms, and eligibility are determined solely by the underwriting criteria of each lender and are subject to change without notice. Representative Example (Illustrative Purposes Only): For a $5,000 program enrollment investment, a qualified client electing a monthly payment plan could pay approximately $123 to $139 per month based on an estimated fixed interest rate and a 48-month term. Actual loan amounts, APRs, interest rates, monthly payments, and repayment terms will vary based on factors including credit score, income, debt-to-income ratio, requested loan amount, and lender underwriting requirements. The lowest advertised rates and longest repayment terms are generally available only to highly qualified borrowers with prime credit histories.

² Prequalification uses a soft credit inquiry that allows prospects to check eligible loan offers in about one minute with zero impact on their credit score. Pre-approval does not guarantee final loan approval or funding. If a client chooses to accept a financing offer and complete the full application, a hard credit inquiry may be performed by the issuing lender. All financing approvals, loan disbursements (typically deposited into the client’s checking account within 24 to 72 hours), and funding decisions are made solely by the participating lender. Merchant partners track approvals and collect program tuition via ACH or payment debit through their real-time merchant back-office dashboard.

³ By proceeding with a pre-qualification request, a soft credit check will be performed. Offers available through our network of lending partners accommodate a full spectrum of credit profiles, including prime credit and challenged credit options for borrowers who may not qualify for traditional credit card lines or bank financing. Products offered may include personal loans, installment loans, and income-based financing. Product availability, eligibility requirements, and financing terms vary by lender and state.

Coach Financing Solutions is committed to consumer transparency and complies with applicable federal and state laws governing advertising, consumer privacy, and financial services marketing. This website does not constitute an offer to lend. Coach Financing Solutions does not originate loans, extend credit, or make underwriting decisions, and is not responsible for the products, services, lending decisions, or information provided by third-party lending partners.

ADVERTISER DISCLOSURE

Coach Financing Solutions is a referral marketplace that connects coaches, consultants, digital course creators, and consumers with independent third-party lending partners. We receive compensation from our lending partners or technology partners when users are referred to or matched with a financing provider. This compensation may influence which lenders or financing offers appear on our platform and the order in which they are displayed, but it does not affect lender underwriting decisions, credit approvals, interest rates, loan terms, or other financing decisions made by lenders. Financing offers are provided by independent lenders, and not all applicants will qualify. The financing options displayed through our platform may not include every available lender or financing product in the market. Before applying, applicants should carefully review the lender’s complete terms, conditions, disclosures, and eligibility requirements. While we make reasonable efforts to keep information accurate and up to date, financing offers, rates, terms, and availability are subject to change without notice, and we cannot guarantee the accuracy or completeness of information provided by third-party lenders.
