Upfront fees before a written offer, pressure to sign the same day, a missing total-payback figure and a contract in an unexpected company name are warning signs with any provider. With CapFront specifically, ask three things: which company is the funder on your contract, what the APR is once every fee is included, and what the total repayment comes to in dollars.
