Frequently Asked Questions
What documents do I need to apply for a 1st Franklin loan?
As part of the process, we will need a few documents to secure your loan.

What loan amounts do you offer?
1ˢᵗ Franklin Financial offers loans up to $15,000. Our Premier Loans are available up to $10,000.
Minimum loan amounts vary by state.
State: AL, LA, MS, SC, TN – Minimum Loan Amount: $1,000

Can I qualify for a loan if I have a low credit score?
If you have a low credit score, we can still help. We make loans to fit just about any budget.
