Repaid from daily sales
A set holdback, typically 8% to 15% of card receipts, comes off each day's deposits. Sell less, pay less that day.
Get $5K to $500K against future card sales and repay a fixed percentage of each day's revenue, so slow days cost less.1 Approvals lean on sales volume, not credit, and funds can land in 24 hours.2 We show every offer's APR next to its factor rate.3
FundLine Capital is a commercial loan broker, not a lender. Offers are made by the lenders we work with.
Advances are the fastest capital we place, which is why restaurants and retailers reach for them ahead of a busy weekend.
An advance is a tool for short, high-return needs. Here is how the ones we place work, and how we keep the cost visible.
A set holdback, typically 8% to 15% of card receipts, comes off each day's deposits. Sell less, pay less that day.
Funders look at three to six months of card processing and bank deposits. Credit scores in the 500s can still qualify.
A 1.25 factor rate sounds small. We show the APR it implies at your sales pace so you compare it fairly with a loan or line.
Refinancing may cut the daily hit in half. Many owners with six months of on-time advance payments now qualify for a term loan or line of credit at a fraction of the cost. Your specialist will tell you if you're one of them before placing another advance.
The 15-minute application plus a read-only look at your card-processing and bank history. Most funders decide on that alone.
Your funding specialist shops the file and shows each offer's factor rate, holdback, estimated payback time and APR on one sheet.
E-sign and funds are wired, often the same or next business day. Holdback starts with your next batch of card sales.
Advances are expensive capital. Your specialist will tell you when a line of credit or term loan would serve you better, and only place an advance when speed or approval odds make it the right call.
Book a callA purchase of a portion of your future card sales at a discount. The funder gives you a lump sum today and collects a fixed percentage of your daily card receipts until an agreed total, the payback amount, is reached. It is technically not a loan, which is why the terms differ.
Advances in our network run from $5,000 to $500,000. Funders typically offer 70% to 120% of your average monthly card sales. A restaurant processing $60K a month might see offers between $40K and $70K.
The multiplier that sets your payback amount. A $40,000 advance at a 1.24 factor rate means you repay $49,600 regardless of how fast you pay. Because there is no interest clock, paying faster does not lower the cost, which is why the equivalent APR can be high.
Factor rates in our network range from about 1.15 to 1.45. Depending on how quickly your sales repay it, that works out to an equivalent APR anywhere from roughly 25% to over 80%. We calculate and show the APR on every offer so the comparison is honest.
Most advances fund within 24 hours of acceptance, and same-day wires are common for applications completed before noon. Opening the file usually takes a few hours once your processor and bank history are connected.
Businesses with at least three to six months of card sales, typically $10,000 or more a month, and no open bankruptcies. Personal credit scores as low as 500 can qualify because funders underwrite the sales, not the score.
Through a holdback: a fixed percentage of each day's card sales, usually 8% to 15%, is remitted to the funder automatically by your processor or by daily ACH. Sell less, remit less that day. Payoff typically lands between four and twelve months.
No. Applying through FundLine does not affect your personal credit score. Most advance funders run only a soft inquiry, and they disclose any hard pull before it happens.
Some funders offer a small discount on the payback amount if you settle early, often within the first 30 to 60 days. Many do not. Your specialist notes it on each offer so you can factor it in.
If you qualify for a line of credit or term loan, those almost always cost less. An advance makes sense when you need money in a day, when credit blocks other products, or when the return on the spend clearly beats the cost. Your specialist will tell you which applies.
Stacking advances is possible but we advise against it: multiple daily holdbacks can quickly exceed what your sales can support. If you already carry one, ask about refinancing into a single product instead.
A business line of credit gives you fast draws with interest only on what you use, at a fraction of an advance's cost.
Invoice financing advances your unpaid B2B invoices at a lower cost than a merchant cash advance.
