Who We Are

Two paths to working capital, one credit desk

Candos Investment funds businesses and individuals two ways: crypto-backed credit lines that let Bitcoin and Ethereum holders borrow without selling their coins, and traditional business loans approved on credit score and three months of bank statements. Whichever path fits your situation, our credit desk reviews every application personally and responds within 24 hours.

We needed capital for a second depot but selling our holdings would have cost us the position we spent four years building. The Candos Investment Credit Line released the funds in days and we still own every coin we started with.

Working capital for businesses without digital assets to pledge

Don't hold crypto? Borrow against your business instead

Our Business Loan is built for companies that need working capital fast and would rather qualify on their credit history and cash flow than pledge digital assets. Approval rests on your credit score and three months of bank statements — nothing else to gather.

  • A qualifying credit score

    No digital assets required. We assess your business and personal credit standing to set an indicative limit.

  • 3 months of bank statements

    Show us how cash moves through your business. Consistent deposits matter more than a perfect balance sheet.

  • Fast, plain-language approval

    A named credit officer reviews your file and comes back with a decision, not a portal full of forms.

Business Loan questions, answered

We typically look for a personal or business credit score of 620 or higher. Businesses just below that threshold can still be considered if bank statements show consistent, healthy cash flow.

We need your business's primary operating account statements for the last 3 consecutive months, showing regular deposits. Personal accounts, screenshots, or statements with hidden transactions are not accepted — full PDF statements direct from your bank work best.

Yes. There is no minimum time in business required, but at least 3 months of statements showing steady revenue gives our credit officers enough history to make a fast decision.

Funds are meant for working capital — inventory, payroll, equipment, marketing, or expansion costs. We do not require a spending plan upfront, just a general idea of what you're funding on your application.

Four steps from holding to working capital

Every application is reviewed by a named credit officer, not an automated queue. Here is exactly what happens from your first message to funds landing in your account.

  1. 01

    Tell us what you hold

    Share the assets you intend to pledge and the amount you want available. We assess eligibility and confirm your indicative limit the same week.

    Typical response: within 24 hours, with approval to funding taking 3 business days.

  2. 02

    Move collateral into custody

    Your Bitcoin, Ethereum, or stablecoins transfer into segregated custody. You keep ownership throughout the life of the facility.

    Custody is multi-signature and reconciled daily, with your holdings never commingled with ours.

  3. 03

    Draw only what you need

    Your line stays open. Take cash for a single project or in stages, and interest accrues only on the balance you have actually drawn.

    Funds are wired directly to your business account, usually within one to two business days of a draw request.

  4. 04

    Repay and release

    Repay on your own schedule, top up collateral if markets move, and your assets are returned in full when the line closes.

    No early repayment penalty. Partial repayments lower your accruing interest immediately.

Request a Credit Line

Borrowers who kept their position and got to work

We pledged part of our Bitcoin position instead of selling it and walked away with a credit line that covered two new trucks within three weeks. No tax event, no waiting on a bank committee — just a straightforward draw against collateral we already held.

I was sitting on Ethereum from years ago and didn't want to trigger a taxable sale to fund a second storefront. Candos structured a line at 50% loan-to-value, and I drew against it in stages as build-out costs came in. The reporting made it easy to plan repayment around our seasonal cash flow.

Questions borrowers ask first

Do I ever have to sell my crypto?

No. Your assets are pledged as collateral and returned in full once the facility is repaid. You keep the upside of your position throughout.

What happens if the market falls?

We monitor your loan-to-value daily and contact you well before any threshold is reached, so you can top up collateral or repay part of the balance.

What can I use the funds for?

Anything your business needs: inventory, premises, equipment, payroll, or bridging a contract. We ask about the purpose only to size the facility sensibly.
