Put every offer on the same four lines

Cash actually received, after any fee deducted at funding. Total amount repaid. The difference between them, which is the real cost. And cost per dollar borrowed.

Cost per dollar is the only figure that compares a factor rate to an interest rate honestly.

Where the fees hide

Origination deducted at funding, so you receive less than the stated amount. Draw fees on a line. ACH or servicing fees per payment. Prepayment penalties that erase any early-payoff saving.

On this site: no origination fee, no maintenance fee, no early payoff penalty, and a 2.49% per draw on the line.

The one question to ask

"What is the total I will have repaid when this is finished?" A funder that cannot answer in one number is not going to get clearer later.

Restricted regardless of the numbers: new residential construction, residential remodelling, long-distance (TL or LTL) trucking, used car dealers, and real estate agents, brokers, managers or lessors. Funding in all 50 US states.

Questions

Is a factor rate the same as an APR?

No. A factor rate multiplies the advance; 1.3 on $50,000 is $65,000 repaid regardless of speed.

What fees apply here?

No origination fee, no maintenance fee, no early payoff penalty. A 2.49% fee per draw on the line of credit.

Where can I calculate it?

The factor rate calculator at /factor-rate-calculator/ and the payoff calculator at /mca-payoff-calculator/.
