Credibly: what it publishes and how to evaluate an offer

What the provider publishes

Credibly publishes working-capital financing and other product categories, and states that some products come through external partners.

Because the provider can be Credibly or a partner, the contract structure and terms depend on the specific offer.

Structures involved

• Working-capital financing
• Other categories, some via partners

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

Questions to ask before you apply

• Ask whether your offer is Credibly-funded or partner-funded and who the contracting party is.
• Compare the actual contract structure rather than a generic rate.
• 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.
