When it may fit

Our assessment of the published programs

  • Worth comparing for an established business seeking a smaller unsecured facility or a larger asset-backed bank loan.

What to weigh carefully

  • The former Fast Capital link redirects to the general lending page; do not reuse historical instant-funding promises without a current offer.
  • No universal score, revenue threshold, operating-history minimum or fee schedule was established.
  • An unsecured line can still create owner liability; obtain guarantee terms.

Questions before you accept an offer

  1. Is this a conventional loan, SBA loan or specialty subsidiary product?
  2. What collateral and guarantees are required?
  3. What are the rate, annual/origination fees and early-payoff charges?
  4. When does a line renew and when is principal due?

Ask for written terms. Compare net cash received, total repayment, fees, payment timing and early-payoff costs for the same financing need.

Prepare your comparison

Use the same questions and figures for each offer you receive.
