Quick answer

Oracle is a self-serve application that matches a business profile against Trulli’s network of 400+ lenders. Checking the initial estimated range does not require a hard credit pull. A lender still makes the final credit decision, verifies the information, and sets the amount, rate, and terms.

01

What Oracle is — and what it is not

Oracle is a self-serve business-funding application. You enter your goal and business profile, and the platform checks that profile against a network of 400+ lenders across several product types. The application runs on Trulli through apply.findfundcall.com, so the FindFundCall name stays on the experience even though Trulli supplies the matching infrastructure.

Oracle is not a lender and an estimated range is not an approval, offer, or rate quote. A lender still has to verify the information, underwrite the request, and decide what—if anything—it will offer.

02

Step 1: State the funding goal

The first screen asks for the amount, use of funds, and timeline. These are quick questions, but they do real work. A lender that only finances six-figure equipment purchases is not relevant to a business that needs $30,000 of working capital.

No documents, bank credentials, or Social Security number are needed for this first step. It should take about a minute if you already know what you need.

03

Step 2: Add the business snapshot

Next comes the basic business profile, including revenue and existing obligations. Those answers help the platform estimate which lender criteria the business may fit and how much payment the cash flow may be able to carry.

This is still screening, not underwriting. The answers are self-reported, and no lender has verified them yet.

04

Step 3: Read the estimated range correctly

The result is a pre-qualified estimate based on the information entered and the criteria available to the matching platform. Its job is to answer a narrow question: does continuing appear worth the time?

Checking this initial range does not require a hard credit inquiry. A lender may later request one for formal underwriting, depending on the product. Read that lender’s authorization before agreeing to it.

05

Step 4: Complete the file only if the range makes sense

If the estimate fits the goal, the full application asks for the business and ownership details a lender needs. The exact documents depend on the product and the lender; bank statements, tax returns, or other financial records may be requested.

The application itself can take about 10 minutes when the basic information is ready. Underwriting takes longer. Some short-term products can move in days, while SBA and bank loans normally require a more involved review.

06

The two questions worth asking before you continue

Who makes the decision? The matched lender does. Oracle and Trulli organize the application and matching process; they do not promise an approval, amount, or rate.

How does FindFundCall get paid? If funding closes through Oracle, FindFundCall may receive compensation through its Trulli partnership. You pay FindFundCall nothing directly. That business relationship does not turn an estimate into an offer, so compare the lender’s actual APR, fees, payment schedule, collateral, personal guarantee, and prepayment terms before signing.
