Frequently asked questions:

1. Is there anapplication fee?

keyboard_arrow_down

a. Funding Circle dos not charge an application fee - applying comes at no cost and obligation to you. However, do be aware that this does not include your loan’s final closing costs.

2. What is the APR for Funding Circle’s business term loan?

keyboard_arrow_down

a. The APR for our business term loan will vary depending on creditworthiness and the term length selected, meaning that there’s no set rate for every customer. Apply today to find out what rate your business may be eligible for!

3. Does applying for a business term loan require a hard pull on my credit?

keyboard_arrow_down

a. In most cases, no. Typically, our application only requires a soft pull on your credit, meaning that your overall credit score won’t be affected by applying.

4. Do I have to provide collateral?

keyboard_arrow_down

a. Some term loans do require collateral, such as personal or business assets, based on your lending partner and the duration of your loan. While it is always best to check with your Account Manager, most long-term loans (those between 3 and 5 years), which can be used for a major investment such as an expansion, may require some type of collateral.

5. How does repayment work?

keyboard_arrow_down

a. Term loans are repaid with fixed payments over a fixed period of time (the “term”) - anywhere from six (6) months to seven (7) years - in monthly installments.

6. Can I make prepayments on my balance? Is there a prepayment penalty?

keyboard_arrow_down

a. Funding Circle proudly allows prepayment on your business term loan, with no prepayment penalty whatsoever.

7. What fees do you charge?

keyboard_arrow_down

a. Our pricing structure is simple and transparent. We won’t try to nickel-and-dime you by tacking on surprise fees.

  1. i. One-Time Origination Fee around 4.5% - 10.5%
    1. 1. A single one-time fee to cover the costs of evaluating and originating your loan. Funding Circle doesn't charge any fees until our Borrowers agree to receive a loan through us. This fee is based on the strength of your credit profile and term length chosen. This fee will be collected upfront at the time the loan is issued.
  2. ii. Late Payment Fee: 5% of missed payment
    1. 1. If your monthly payment is late, you will be charged a fee on the missed payment. This fee is added to your original monthly payment, withdrawn from your account and passed directly onto investors
