All we’d like to do is take the drama out of paying for these projects by offering you a simple, hassle-free, one-stop-shop for comparing financing options sourced from our network of reliable lenders.

How does Acorn Finance work?
  • First, you fill out an easy online form to check for pre-qualified offers, with no impact to your credit score.
  • Then, if qualified, you receive loan offers from the lenders in our network so you can compare terms and payment options to select the offer that’s best for you.
  • Finally, you complete the application process on your selected lender’s website. After loan approval, your funds should arrive within 1-2 business days (though funding times may vary).
Typical home improvement projects that we help our customers finance include roofing, patios and decks, solar, kitchen remodels, HVAC, pole buildings and pole barns, painting, landscaping, sheds and ADUs, basements, driveways, and pools.

You can also use our platform to compare prequalified loan offers for other purposes including debt consolidation, medical expenses, auto expenses, and other kinds of major costs. And remember—you can check for offers without impacting your credit score!
