Eyes open

The downside of every programme, before you need to know it

Funding is a tool for a bold move, and every tool can cut. Here is where each of the six can hurt, and what keeps it from hurting you.

  1. Term Loan$20K – $1M · Within 24 hours

    The downsideThe payments are fixed for one to two years, and they are owed whether or not the move they paid for works out.

    The guardBuild the payment into the plan with room to spare, and ask before signing what paying it off early would save.

  2. Short Term Business Loan$10K – $1M · 1 – 2 days

    The downsideA term of up to 24 months means larger payments than a longer loan of the same size, falling due while the money is still at work.

    The guardName the money that will repay it — the season, the contract, the invoice — before you borrow, not after.

  3. Equipment FinancingUp to $250K · 1 – 5 years

    The downsideThe equipment usually secures the financing, and a term longer than its working life means still paying for a machine that has stopped earning.

    The guardMatch the term — one to five years here — to how long the equipment will genuinely be in service.

  4. Working CapitalUp to $1M · 24 – 48 hours

    The downsideRepayment comes out by daily or weekly ACH on a fixed schedule, in the quiet week as surely as the busy one.

    The guardSet the debit against your slowest week's deposits, not your average week's, and borrow no more than that carries.

  5. Business Line of CreditUp to $1M · 1 – 2 days

    The downsideA line that is always there can end up paying for things that will never pay it back, one small draw at a time.

    The guardDecide what a draw is for before you open the line, and repay each draw from what that draw earned.

  6. Revenue-Based Funding$5K – $500K · 24 – 48 hours

    The downsideIt is priced on the full amount, so repaying early may not reduce what you owe.

    The guardAsk for the total payback in dollars, and ask in writing whether paying early changes it. If it does not, plan for the full amount.

None of this is a reason not to borrow. It is the reason to borrow on purpose, at the right size, with the exit planned.

The six

Six programmes for six kinds of move

Each fits a different kind of bold step. Each has a downside, set out above and on its own page.

How it works

Three steps from the decision to the money

Quick where it can be. Careful where it has to be.

Step 01

Size the move

Tell us what you are funding and how much it needs. The application asks for an amount, how to reach you and a few questions about the business — no documents, no fee.

  • About two minutes
  • No documents to start
  • No cost to apply

Step 02

Weigh the offers

Your application goes to our funding partner and a specialist takes it to lenders who fund businesses like yours. What comes back is laid out so the costs can be compared, downside included.

  • One application, many lenders
  • Total cost on every offer
  • Questions answered straight

Step 03

Commit, or don't

Accept the offer that fits the move, or none of them. Once approved, the funds can be in the account in as little as 24 hours.

  • No obligation to accept
  • Nothing signed until you choose
  • Funding in as little as 24 hours once approved

Our word

What we hold to, whatever you apply for

Asking an owner to be brave with money means being straight with them about it.

The downside, said aloud
Every programme's risk is on this site, not saved for the small print.
No cost to apply
Applying and seeing your offers costs the business nothing.
Your call
Nothing is agreed until you accept, and declining every offer is always allowed.
Business funding only
Valor never arranges personal or consumer loans.
