Why compare net proceeds
Two offers with similar advance amounts can deliver different cash once fees or payoffs are deducted. Cost per dollar received divides total cost, including fees, by the cash you actually receive.
What this comparison does not capture
- How fast the cost accrues over time; a shorter term increases the time-based cost.
- Personal guarantees, default terms, confessions of judgment, or UCC filings.
- Reconciliation rights, early-payoff discounts, or restrictions on other financing.
