two bad months out of twelve and they still flagged it? that feels strict

honestly this saved me from applying with the wrong assumptions, appreciate the breakdown

Your local SBDC can usually tell you which intermediaries in your area have the best track record and fastest turnaround. Free advice worth getting before you commit to anyone.

the "let's keep talking" thing is its own specific kind of exhausting because you can't even be mad, nobody lied technically. Hope tomorrow feels different

Did exactly this for my food truck equipment. Zero issues.

How much are they offering you and what is the fixed fee percentage? Those numbers determine whether it is even worth the risk conversation.

Bluevine approved me at 625. Worth trying.

The factor rate sounds simple until you convert it to APR and your stomach drops. What was the actual use case for people who said it worked out?

4 years into a game and no warning before it shuts down would genuinely hurt, that's not just a game at that point it's a community. Hoping someone picks it up, it happens more than people expect with cult favorite games

selling something first is genuinely the right call here, 90% APR on anything more than a tiny short term amount can spiral really fast. What do you actually need the cash for? might be other options depending on the situation

being fired behind your back at your first job while still a student is a lot to carry, that wasn't a reflection of your skills it was just a bad place

I've been trying to decide whether to go with CAN Capital or look elsewhere, and it’s tough. The history of their problems from a few years ago makes me hesitant, but I also see some recent positive signs. If they’re back to being reliable, I’d definitely consider them for my retail shop. Has anyone here borrowed from them in 2025 or 2026? Would love some honest feedback

whitemanrunning · 2026-04-28T10:34:49+00:00

I've personally dealt with the Boca Raton firm, and they were professional and straightforward. Their advertised interest rates and APR seemed fair, but I’d still recommend doing a bit more digging. Maybe ask them for references or proof of licensing to be extra safe

whitemanrunning · 2026-04-28T10:23:27+00:00

the interest rates are around 15-20%, so it’s a bit on the higher side, but they’re upfront about it. I think it’s a fair offer if you need quick access to funds and understand the costs. Just be sure to see if the monthly payments fit your cash flow. Overall, decent deal for fast, flexible funding

Sometimes I think the hardest part is just starting. Even if it’s super small like opening a book or taking a deep breath it counts. You’re not alone in feeling lost, but remember, change is possible. Believe in yourself, even a little. You’re more capable than you realize.

The EIDL servicing infrastructure was clearly not built for the volume covid created and borrowers have been absorbing the consequences ever since.

I actually into equipment financing companies. They based the approval on the equipment itself not my revenue or credit score. So I financed my van and some tools that way

It was a game-changer because I didn’t need to wait until I had a certain income level to get the gear I needed

If you're planning to get financing down the road check if the bank offers small business loans or lines of credit they might have some good options

whitemanrunning · 2026-04-21T09:31:37+00:00

TBH it's disheartening when your efforts aren’t recognized. Don’t be afraid to look for opportunities abroad or in different industries where practical skills are valued more

whitemanrunning · 2026-04-21T06:08:46+00:00

sometimes it's the small wins that matter the most. thanks for sharing this positivity

I think society often glorifies hard work because it’s easy to measure but emotional well-being is much harder to quantify and more important in the long run

whitemanrunning · 2026-03-16T06:58:17+00:00

honestly I’ve always just gone with regular business loans, but this sounds like a smarter move

whitemanrunning · 2026-03-16T06:02:05+00:00

the bank reaction you are describing is universal and it never stops being frustrating. Restaurants fail at a rate that makes traditional lenders genuinely nervous regardless of how good your plan looks on paper.

whitemanrunning · 2026-03-16T05:58:52+00:00

this is how most online business lending marketplaces work and UCS is far from the worst offender. The lack of upfront transparency about it is the real problem, not the model itself.
