Rapid Finance: what it publishes and how to evaluate an offer

What the provider publishes

Rapid Finance publishes distinct structures including loans, merchant cash advances, lines of credit, and invoice factoring, among others.

Each structure carries its own repayment mechanics; terms for one product do not transfer to another.

Structures involved

• Term loans
• Merchant cash advances
• Lines of credit
• Invoice factoring
• Other listed structures

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

Questions to ask before you apply

• Establish first which structure you are being offered: fixed repayment (loan) versus receivables-based remittance (MCA).
• Ask for total cost, payment frequency, and prepayment or reconciliation terms for that specific product.
• 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.
