What are CAI’s pricing and fees?

The rate and pricing of each program is determined by amount, type of program and risk factors. For example, term loans have a fee between 2-6% depending on the amount of the loan which is performance based meaning it is only paid after closing and proceeds are disbursed to the lender.

Depending on the product that you select, you may be charged an origination fee. These fees are always itemized in the funding documents which borrowers must review before closing.

Cash Advance rates are often stated as a "factor rate" or “cents on”. This shouldn’t be confused with an annualized interest rate. For example, a factor rate of 1.24 is applied to the principal amount resulting in the payback amount. Payments are determined by dividing the payback amount which included principal and factor rate by the term in either days or weeks.

Is there anything else I can expect?

Capital Access International is a boutique lending experience which means our team might ask you a lot of questions at first. This is where our experience offers real added value and sets expectations firmly in the realm of feasibility. There may be times that we need to ask for identifying documents such as a driver’s license or building lease information and we may need to confirm your business ownership. These are reasonable precautions that all lenders take.
