Only pay for the time that you borrow – no prepayment penalities
We built Funding Circle to provide small business owners with a transparent and affordable way to access financing. Unlike some other lenders, we always disclose rates and fees upfront so you never have to worry about hidden costs. With low fixed rates and a single, one-time origination fee, you can save more with Funding Circle.
APR, or annual percentage rate, is a figure that tells you the true cost per year of borrowing money. It’s the true cost of a small business loan because unlike the interest rate, APR also takes into account additional fees and charges that are too often hidden in the fine print.
We know that the small businesses are more than their credit score. We take a holistic approach when determining a small business’ creditworthiness. Our dedicated account reps will work with you to learn about everything from your real–time cash flow to your business assets.
Charging someone to pay off their loan early just doesn’t make any sense. At Funding Circle, we celebrate your success – if you are able to pay off your loan early, go ahead.
We have no prepayment penalties – meaning if you decide to pay your loan off early, you won’t get charged extra.
If you pay off your loan early, you will only pay interest on the time you borrowed.
Our pricing structure is simple and transparent. We won’t try to nickel-and-dime you by tacking on surprise fees.
| Fee Type | Fee | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Origination Fee | 3.49% to 6.99% | A single one-time fee to cover our costs of evaluating and originating your loan. The fee is based on the strength of your credit profile and is deducted from your total loan proceeds, which means you do not pay this fee if you do not receive a loan. |
| Late Payment Fee | 5% of missed payment | 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 This fee is added to your original monthly payment, withdrawn from your account and passed directly onto investors. |
We’re transparent about our rates and fees because we believe you have a right to know the true cost of your loan. Here are some fees to look out for with other lenders.
