Know Three Numbers Before You Sign
Every offer, from any lender, comes down to these. Get all three in writing before you accept.
Your rate
- A factor rate multiplies what you borrow. $100,000 at 1.30 pays back $130,000.
- An interest rate is charged on the balance you still owe, so it falls as you pay down.
- Ask which one your offer uses.
Your payback term
- How long you have to repay, and whether payments are daily, weekly, or monthly.
- The same payback over a shorter term means bigger payments and a higher cost per year.
- Ask what paying off early saves you.
Your origination fee
- Taken out before the money lands, or added to the balance.
- A 3% fee on $100,000 means $97,000 arrives and you repay on $100,000.
- Ask for the all-in cost in writing, not just the rate.
Common Questions
Is ExtraCredit Loans a direct lender?
No. ExtraCredit Loans is a loan marketplace. We act as a broker: we connect your business with lenders. The lender makes the credit decision and provides the money.
What do I need to qualify?
Across our marketplace: 2 years in business, $250,000 in annual revenue, and a credit score of 600 or higher. Floors run from 600 to 680 depending on the lender: some lenders look at 600 to 640, and our primary lender approves at 680 and above. Some products have different requirements, and meeting a minimum does not guarantee approval.
How fast can I get funded?
On term loans and lines of credit, our primary lender reports decisions in as little as 4 hours and funding in as little as 24 hours. SBA loans take weeks to months.
Will my offer be a loan?
Not always. An offer can come as a loan or as revenue-based financing, which is a purchase of future sales and not a loan. The agreement says which one it is. Compare either on total payback and APR.
Does it cost anything to apply?
We do not charge you a fee to apply. If a financing closes, the lender may pay us a commission. Your financing agreement lists every cost you pay.
Will applying affect my credit?
No. Applying does not affect your personal credit score. If you accept an offer, the lender may run a hard credit inquiry before funding.
Do I have to accept an offer?
No. You can walk away from any offer at any point before you sign a financing agreement.
