Plan the requestEvaluate the whole payment calendar
Funding can add daily, weekly, or monthly obligations depending on the product. Build one calendar that includes existing financing, rent, taxes, and payroll. A smaller quoted payment is not automatically more affordable if it occurs more often or continues for a longer period.
Before requesting an offer: write down the amount needed, the exact use, when the funds are required, and a payment the business can support from ordinary collected revenue.
Compare funding structures
The right structure depends on your use of funds and repayment capacity. These are options to discuss, not approvals or a promise that every product is available.
A sales-based advance can differ from a loan. Ask which legal product is offered, how payments are calculated, and whether reconciliation or adjustment provisions apply.
