About Quick Business Funding

Is Quick Business Funding a lender?

No. Quick Business Funding is an independent business funding broker. We help businesses identify and compare options from third-party lenders and financing providers. Those providers make final approval, pricing and funding decisions.

How does Quick Business Funding get paid?

Quick Business Funding may receive compensation from a lender or financing provider when a transaction is completed. Compensation, fees and financing costs vary by provider and transaction. Review all provider documents and required disclosures before accepting an offer.

Do you have an office in every state?

No. Quick Business Funding provides remote broker services nationwide and maintains the contact address shown on this website. Nationwide service does not mean we maintain a physical office in every state.

Is the process completely automated?

No. AI assists with organizing intake information, but funding specialists review requests and third-party lenders make final decisions.

Application and Review

What documents are commonly requested?

Recent business bank statements, identification, entity information, ownership information and existing financing details are common. Requirements vary.

Does submitting a request affect my credit?

Submitting the initial request does not itself guarantee that no credit inquiry will occur. Before proceeding, ask which type of credit inquiry a lender may use and when authorization is required.

Can I apply if my business operates in more than one state?

Yes. Provide the primary business address and explain where the company operates. A funding specialist or lender may request additional organizational or location information.

Are the same programs available in every state?

Not necessarily. Availability depends on the lender, financing product, business details and applicable state requirements.

Timing and Funding Amounts

How quickly can I receive a decision?

A complete application may receive an initial or conditional decision as soon as the same business day. Additional documentation or lender review may be required. Timing varies and is not guaranteed.

Can funding arrive in 24–48 hours?

Qualified applicants may receive funds within 24–48 hours after final approval and receipt of all required documents. Bank processing, documentation and product type can affect timing.

How much funding can I request?

Requests from $10,000 to $20 million may be considered across the lender network. Actual minimums, maximums and approved amounts depend on the product, lender, business performance, documentation and state availability.

How quickly can working capital be available?

Complete applications may receive an initial decision as soon as the same business day. Qualified applicants may receive funds within 24–48 hours after final approval and receipt of required documents. Timing varies.

Credit and Collateral

Can I apply with bad credit?

Yes. Options may be available for businesses with less-than-perfect credit. Lenders may also consider revenue, deposit history, time in business and other factors. Approval is not guaranteed.

Do all programs require collateral?

No, but the answer depends on the product. Some working-capital options may not require additional collateral. Equipment financing commonly uses the financed equipment, and invoice factoring involves eligible receivables.

Is equipment financing unsecured?

Usually not entirely. The financed equipment commonly secures the transaction, even when no additional collateral is required.

Does bad credit prevent factoring?

Not necessarily. Factors often emphasize the creditworthiness of the invoiced customers, but they still review the business and invoice validity.

Costs and Payments

What is a factor rate?

A factor rate is a multiplier used to calculate the purchased amount or total contracted amount. It is not an interest rate or APR and does not by itself show the annualized cost.

Do payments decrease when revenue falls?

Some agreements allow remittances to adjust or be reconciled based on actual revenue. The process is not identical across providers, so review the written reconciliation terms.

Do I pay for the entire approved limit?

Generally, costs apply to amounts drawn, but maintenance or other fees may apply even when no balance is outstanding. Review the agreement.

What does recourse mean?

Recourse generally means the business may need to repurchase or replace an invoice if the customer does not pay under specified circumstances.

Program-Specific Questions

Is working capital the same as a business loan?

Not always. Working capital describes the use of funds, not one specific product. An option may be a commercial loan, line of credit, receivables purchase or another structure.

Is revenue-based financing a loan?

It may be structured as a purchase of future receivables rather than a loan. Review the provider’s agreement and disclosures to understand the legal and economic structure.

Is an MCA a business loan?

Generally, no. It is commonly structured as a purchase of future receivables. The provider’s agreement controls, so review the actual documents.

Is a line of credit better than a term loan?

It depends on the use. A line can be useful for recurring needs, while a term product may better match a defined one-time investment.

Is a lease the same as an equipment loan?

No. Ownership, tax treatment, purchase options and end-of-term obligations differ. Review the exact structure with professional advisers.

Is invoice factoring a loan?

No. Factoring is generally a purchase of eligible receivables. The transaction and recourse terms should be reviewed carefully.

Will customers know invoices were factored?

In many arrangements, customers receive payment instructions directing them to the factor. Notification practices vary.

Can used equipment be financed?

Some providers finance used equipment, subject to age, condition, valuation, vendor and useful-life requirements.

Privacy and Communication

Will my information be shared with lenders?

Information may be shared with service providers and selected financing providers as described in the Privacy Policy and as needed to evaluate requested options. Do not submit information you are not authorized to provide.

Are state-specific disclosures provided?

Any required provider-specific or transaction-specific disclosures should be included with the applicable financing documents. Review them before accepting an offer.
