Frequently Asked Questions
A factor rate (e.g., 1.30 on $100,000 = $130,000 total payback) multiplies the principal by a fixed decimal regardless of term length. Because principal amortizes daily across 120 to 160 business days (roughly 6 to 7.5 calendar months), the average outstanding principal is roughly half the initial advance. Under NY 23 NYCRR Part 600 and CA SB 1235 commercial disclosure formulas, a 1.30 factor rate over 6 months with a 3% origination fee equates to an effective annualized APR exceeding 95%.
When stacked daily MCA debits consume 25% to 50% of gross receivables, a commercial buyout or reverse consolidation facility either (1) pays off the existing MCA balances directly at their early-payoff discount and replaces them with a single 18-to-36-month weekly or monthly term loan, or (2) structures a graduated weekly liquidity facility that reduces net monthly debt service by 45% to 60%.
Under Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) Article 9, commercial funders file a UCC-1 financing statement with your state's Secretary of State to perfect a security interest in business receivables. Once an advance is satisfied or refinanced, UCC § 9-513 requires the secured party to file or authorize a UCC-3 Termination Statement removing the lien so your business can access senior bank lines of credit.
Institutional commercial underwriters evaluate four core metrics across your last 3 to 4 months of operating bank statements: (1) Average Daily Balance (ADB >= 10% of requested monthly payment), (2) Deposit Consistency (minimum 5 to 8 revenue deposits per month), (3) NSF / Overdraft Days (fewer than 3 negative days per month), and (4) Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR >= 1.25x).
Operating US businesses (LLC, S-Corp, C-Corp, or Sole Proprietorship with EIN) with 6+ months time in business and $15,000+ in verifiable monthly gross commercial bank deposits qualify for working capital review. Startups with 3–6 months operating history may qualify for invoice factoring or equipment financing.
Yes. Unlike standard fixed-factor merchant cash advances that lock in the entire factor fee on day one, amortizing commercial term loans and revolving business lines of credit accrue interest only on the outstanding principal balance—or provide contractual 10% to 25% early payoff addendums.
