About Swiftleaf
Does Swiftleaf Capital lend money itself?
No. Swiftleaf Capital arranges funding through partners and makes no loans itself; each partner makes its own credit decision and sets its own rates and terms. How a request moves lays out the steps one by one.

Choosing an Option
Which funding option should I pick?
Start from the purpose. Wages and supplier bills point to working capital, a second location to a term loan, machines to equipment financing, stock to inventory financing, uneven months to a credit line. The comparison page lines up the six options by payback.
Is a merchant cash advance treated like a loan in Anderson, SC?
No. A merchant cash advance is a purchase of part of your future receipts, collected from sales or bank debits. It is not a loan and is costed by a factor rate. The merchant cash advance page explains the math.
Can a business loan pay for payroll?
Yes. Working capital and credit lines can be used for payroll, especially when the gap is tied to receivables arriving on a known date.
Records, Credit and Timing
Which records will an Anderson, SC partner want?
Usually recent business bank statements, a profit and loss summary or tax return, existing debts, and for purchases, the quote or invoice. No two partners ask for quite the same pile.
Will my credit be checked?
Partners may review credit as part of their decision, under their own process. We tell you before your request goes to a partner.
How soon will I hear back?
It varies with the product, the partner and how complete the records are. We do not promise timelines we do not control, but we will keep you posted.
Costs and Offers
What will the funding cost?
Rates, factor rates and charges are set by the partner in its written offer, based on its own review. Swiftleaf does not publish rates because they vary by request.
Am I bound to take an offer Swiftleaf brings back?
No. You can compare, ask questions and decline. Read the total cost, payment schedule, collateral, guarantees and prepayment terms before you sign anything.
