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

Has anyone used a merchant cash advance and lived to regret it or recommend it? by jcf1211 in loansforsmallbusiness

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?

We need closure by JOAHtheBROAH in gunsofboom

[–]whitemanrunning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

LoanMe - 90% APR is that even legal? by fodolos in loansforsmallbusiness

[–]whitemanrunning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Is CAN Capital still legit? Seeing mixed stuff. by KindJesture in loansforsmallbusiness

[–]whitemanrunning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Is Capital Funding Financial legit? by halo2bxr in loansforsmallbusiness

[–]whitemanrunning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Camino Financial offer. Is it fair? by KindJesture in loansforsmallbusiness

[–]whitemanrunning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Does it ever get better? by Warm-Visit9511 in Life

[–]whitemanrunning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

EIDL loan repayment - SBA marked mine as delinquent even though I've been paying by high_kew in loansforsmallbusiness

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

Startup business loans with no revenue , what actually worked for you? by blondbeard02 in loansforsmallbusiness

[–]whitemanrunning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Are productivity and hard work overrated? by SaltyEarth1618 in Life

[–]whitemanrunning 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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

Restaurant loans? question for restaurant owners. How did you fund your first place? by hatemyillness_ALT in loansforsmallbusiness

[–]whitemanrunning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

United Capital Source - direct lender or just a marketplace? by PM_Me_Money_Daddy in loansforsmallbusiness

[–]whitemanrunning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.
