No, competitor payoffs are not required. We have lenders that are willing to take a 2nd or 3rd position. In some cases, they will provide enough funding to pay off an existing loan in addition to getting working capital.
You will need to provide a completed application, the last 3 months of business bank statements, photo ID, and voided business check.

This is a weekly payment schedule and the default day is Monday. Clients can choose to change the payment day.
There are 2 Main Fees:
1. 4% Draw fee is accessed on the amount each time a draw is made on the account.
2. Balance fee is accessed weekly based on the average daily balance owed during that week. The balance fee is charged on every weekly payment date and accrues Daily. Meaning, on any given day including weekends! (Remember it’s like a Credit card), the cost of the line of
credit is the average unpaid balance at exactly 11:59pm each day multiplied by the balance fee.
The payment is calculated by taking the sum of all balances and fees and dividing it by the term, in days* then multiplying it by seven (7) which is the number of days a LOC’s weekly payment!
The first draw will be required at account opening and this will be carried out, similar to a weekly loan. The client has the option to choose whether to take the entire line or just a portion of it.
The minimum draw amount throughout the term is set to $1,000.
Your weekly repayments will be ACH'd from your business checking account on file on the scheduled payment date. You only pay towards the balance owed.
The business lines of credit is set for 6, 9, and 12-month terms. At the end of the term, a client can renew their line of credit and terms (considering repayment history is in good standing).
