In plain language

The cash that actually reaches your account after any fees.

It equals the advance minus fees or deductions. The payback is typically based on the gross advance, so the cost is higher than it looks.

Why it matters

It is the real amount you can spend.

An example

A $40,000 advance minus a $1,200 fee delivers $38,800, but the payback is $50,000 at 1.25.

What to watch for

In practice for Canadian businesses

Always ask for the net amount in writing.

Questions to ask

In a file review

The net funded amount is the line to compare across offers, because a larger headline with fees and payoffs deducted can deliver less cash than a smaller clean offer. The reviewer or owner who asks for it early avoids surprises on funding day.

A common misreading

The approved amount is not always what lands. Payoffs, fees and holdbacks come out first.

Related terms

Spotting the gap

Approved $40,000, fee $1,000, existing payoff $9,000: net is $30,000. Putting the three numbers in one line before you accept avoids a surprise on funding day.

Common questions

Is net the same as the amount approved?

Not if fees or payoffs are deducted.

Where can I learn more?

See the related guides and the comparison pages, or apply and ask.

Is this legal advice?

No. It is educational information, and agreements vary.
