Bluevine: what it publishes and how to evaluate an offer

What the provider publishes

Bluevine publishes a business line of credit and states that it is a financial technology company, not a bank, with the line issued by Celtic Bank.

Its page describes reusable credit with each draw subject to approval, plus state and entity-type restrictions.

Structures involved

• Business line of credit (bank-issued)

Each structure is priced and repaid differently. See how the structures compare.

Questions to ask before you apply

• Check the state and entity restrictions before applying.
• Ask at which stages credit is checked and whether each draw involves a new review.
• Who is the contracting party on the agreement, and is it a loan or a purchase of receivables?
• At what stages is credit checked, and is it a soft or hard inquiry?
• What is the total dollar cost, the payment amount and frequency, and the term?
• What happens if you repay early, and what happens in a slow month (reconciliation or interest-only options)?
• Are there origination, draw, maintenance, or closing fees, in dollars?

How to compare a written offer

Put the amount, factor rate or APR, fees, and term into the factor rate calculator to get total cost, payment size, and an estimated APR on stated assumptions. Then compare against any other written offer on the same basis. A provider’s marketing page cannot be compared; only its written offer can.
