FAQ's
Common Questions
What about the cost of capital?
While it's true that you may find lower pricing at your bank, if you're like most small businesses, you may not qualify. That said, pricing of the products we market is competitive with other alternative finance companies, and our process is fast—funds can be sent as fast as the next business day.
Are there any fees?
Yes, a one-time origination fee is collected at time of funding the Term Loan. This small fee helps recover costs associated with processing, underwriting and servicing for your new loan contract. For Term Loan the origination fee is 3% of the principal/funded amount and is automatically deducted from your business bank account the day after funding.
