How does repayment work?
We deduct a fixed payment from your business bank account on a daily or weekly basis, depending on the product you are approved for. This amount is based on historical percentage of your average daily receivables. The fixed amount can be adjusted from time to time depending on your future experience. These fixed payments help ensure minimal impact to your cash flow and prevent the snowball effect often caused by missing larger monthly payments. You can request your balance statements and pay off letters by emailing us at submit@bizfund.com or calling us at (302)-883-8306.

Why is it so hard for small businesses to get financing?
Small business lending has been slow to recover since the recession. Traditional lenders lack an efficient system to underwrite small businesses, so many tend to defer to the personal credit score of the business owner as a measure of creditworthiness. It’s also cost prohibitive to underwrite smaller sized loans – it’s more profitable to make a $3,000,000 loan than it is a $30,000 loan.

BizFund is different than traditional lenders in a several ways:
- ur advances are between $5,000 and $250,000 with no exact payback term since an MCA depends on your sales. Bank loans are typically larger – up to $5 million – and can have terms anywhere from 2 to 25 years.
- BizFund makes funding decisions in minutes or hours and can deliver funding in as fast as 1 business day, while banks can take up to 2 weeks to review the application and an additional 30 to 60 days to fund the loan if approved.
- BizFund also deducts a fixed, payment which is an estimated percentage of receivables purchased directly from your business bank account each business day or weekly, which helps to ensure minimal impact to your cash flow. Traditionally, banks collect payments on a monthly or quarterly basis.
