Fora Financial: what it publishes and how to evaluate an offer

What the provider publishes

Fora Financial publishes lump-sum business financing with defined repayment schedules.

Its site footer states that the agreement identifies whether the provider is Fora, Celtic Bank, or an unaffiliated third-party provider, so the entity you contract with can vary by product.

Structures involved

• Fixed-repayment business financing (loan or receivables-purchase form, per the agreement)

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

Questions to ask before you apply

• Read the agreement to see which entity is the provider for your offer.
• Ask whether repayment is fixed-schedule or tied to receivables, and how early payoff is treated.
• 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.
