✓ Checking what you qualify for does not affect your credit score.

What it means

As explained by Merchant Fund Express: The gradual repayment of a loan through scheduled payments that cover both principal and interest.

In an amortizing loan, each payment reduces the balance while paying interest on what remains. Early payments are mostly interest; later ones are mostly principal.

Why it matters when you apply

Revenue-based advances are usually not amortized in the loan sense; they repay a fixed total over a variable period. Know which structure you are signing.
