Start with your operating cycle
Consider when customers pay, when major expenses are due, and how a proposed remittance could affect cash available for ordinary operations. The provider’s offer controls the actual payment schedule and terms.
Compare the full cost
Look beyond the amount advanced. Ask for the total payback, payment frequency, applicable fees, and any other obligations in writing. A factor rate is not an annual interest rate.
Choose a page for your business
The industry examples are educational, not underwriting rules. A funding provider decides whether to review or make an offer for an individual business.
