Welcome to Fast Capital Rates ("Fast Capital Rates," "we," "us," or "our"). These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of www.fastcapitalrates.com (the "Website"), including all related services, business funding inquiries, applications, and communications.
By accessing or using our Website, submitting a funding inquiry, or requesting our services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy.
If you do not agree to these Terms, you should not use our Website or services.
You must be at least 18 years old and legally authorized to act on behalf of the business for which you are requesting financing.
Fast Capital Rates is an independent business funding brokerage and referral service. We are not a direct lender, bank, or merchant cash advance funder.
Our services are designed to connect eligible businesses with independent third-party providers offering merchant cash advances, revenue-based financing, commercial loans, and other business financing products.
Fast Capital Rates may:
Collect and review business funding inquiries.
Evaluate preliminary funding eligibility.
Match applicants with potential funding providers.
Refer applications to one or more participating funding companies.
Facilitate communications between applicants and funding providers.
Assist applicants in understanding available funding options.
Follow up regarding applications, funding offers, and related services.
All funding decisions are made independently by participating funding providers.
Fast Capital Rates does not guarantee approval, funding amounts, rates, terms, or the availability of financing.
By using our Website or submitting a funding request, you represent and warrant that:
You are at least 18 years of age.
You are the business owner or an authorized representative.
You have the legal authority to submit information and request financing on behalf of the business.
The business operates lawfully within the United States.
All information you provide is accurate, current, and complete to the best of your knowledge.
You will promptly update information that becomes inaccurate or incomplete.
You are requesting financing primarily for legitimate business or commercial purposes.
Fast Capital Rates reserves the right to decline, suspend, or discontinue services when an applicant does not satisfy eligibility requirements or when information appears inaccurate, misleading, or fraudulent.
When submitting a funding inquiry or application through our Website, you may be asked to provide information including:
Business name and contact information
Business ownership details
Monthly or annual revenue
Time in business
Requested funding amount
Existing business financing obligations
Credit score range
Business bank statements
Financial documentation
Other information reasonably necessary to evaluate funding options
By submitting this information, you authorize Fast Capital Rates to use and disclose it for the purpose of evaluating, matching, processing, and referring your funding inquiry as described in these Terms and our Privacy Policy.
You understand that submitting an inquiry does not create a loan agreement, financing commitment, or obligation for any provider to extend financing.
Additional applications, verification procedures, and documentation may be required by individual funding providers.
By submitting a business funding request, you authorize Fast Capital Rates to share your application and related business information with multiple independent funding providers and referral partners for the purpose of evaluating potential financing opportunities.
These parties may include:
Merchant cash advance companies
Alternative business funding providers
Commercial lenders
Revenue-based financing companies
Independent funding brokers
Business financing marketplaces
Underwriting and verification providers
Financial institutions and related service providers
Participating providers may independently review your information, request additional documentation, and determine whether to offer financing.
You acknowledge that funding providers may have their own privacy policies, underwriting criteria, contractual terms, and application requirements.
Information sharing is subject to applicable privacy laws and the disclosures provided at the time of application.
Authorization to share information for funding evaluation does not, by itself, constitute consent to receive automated marketing calls or text messages.
Fast Capital Rates does not guarantee that any applicant will receive financing.
Funding approval may depend on factors including:
Business revenue
Time in business
Credit history
Bank account activity
Existing financing obligations
Industry classification
Underwriting requirements
Funding provider policies
Verification of submitted information
Any funding amounts, payment estimates, approval timelines, or financing terms displayed on our Website are illustrative unless expressly identified as an actual offer from a funding provider.
Prequalification, preliminary eligibility, or an indication of potential approval does not constitute final approval or a binding financing commitment.
Actual funding is subject to provider approval, completion of required documentation, execution of applicable agreements, and satisfaction of funding conditions.
Merchant cash advances and certain revenue-based financing products are generally commercial financing arrangements based on the purchase of future business receivables.
An MCA is not necessarily a traditional loan, and its legal classification depends on the applicable agreement, governing law, and structure of the transaction.
Depending on the funding product, financing terms may include:
Advance or funded amount
Purchased receivables amount
Factor rate
Total repayment or remittance amount
Daily, weekly, or other remittance schedules
Estimated financing duration
Origination, underwriting, or other applicable fees
Reconciliation provisions
Default provisions
Personal guarantees or other security arrangements
Factor rates are not equivalent to annual percentage rates (APRs).
The total cost of financing may be substantially higher than the amount originally advanced.
Some financing products may involve frequent withdrawals from a business bank account or a percentage of future receivables.
Applicants are responsible for reviewing all disclosures, fees, payment obligations, and contractual provisions before accepting financing.
Where applicable law requires standardized commercial financing disclosures, those disclosures must be provided by the party responsible under the relevant law.
Any rates, funding amounts, repayment examples, approval timelines, or promotional claims displayed on our Website are subject to eligibility, underwriting, provider availability, and applicable law.
Advertised financing terms may not be available to every applicant.
Actual offers may vary based on business qualifications, financial history, provider criteria, and other factors.
Fast Capital Rates does not represent that every applicant will receive the lowest advertised rate or the maximum advertised funding amount.
No information displayed on our Website constitutes a binding financing offer unless expressly stated by the applicable funding provider.
Fast Capital Rates may receive compensation from participating funding providers, referral partners, or other commercial financing companies.
Compensation may be based on referrals, funded transactions, or other contractual arrangements.
The amount and structure of compensation may vary depending on the funding provider and financing product.
Applicants should review all applicable funding documents to determine whether any broker fees, origination charges, closing costs, or other fees apply.
Any fees payable by an applicant will be disclosed as required by applicable law.
Fast Capital Rates does not guarantee that third-party funding providers will offer financing without fees or additional costs.
Submitting an initial funding inquiry through Fast Capital Rates does not necessarily result in a consumer credit inquiry.
However, participating funding providers may request authorization to obtain business credit reports, consumer credit reports, bank account information, or other financial verification records.
Depending on the provider and financing product, credit inquiries may be soft or hard inquiries.
A hard credit inquiry may affect your personal credit score.
Any access to consumer credit reports must comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and other applicable laws, including requirements concerning permissible purposes and authorization where required.
Fast Capital Rates does not guarantee that applying for financing will have no effect on your credit.
When you submit a funding inquiry, Fast Capital Rates may communicate with you regarding your request, application status, supporting documentation, and available funding opportunities.
Communications may include telephone calls, text messages, emails, and other legally permitted methods.
Marketing calls and text messages, including those using automated technologies where regulated, are subject to separate consent requirements under applicable law.
Where required, consent will be obtained through the disclosures and selections presented when you submit your information.
Consent to receive marketing calls or text messages is not a condition of purchasing or obtaining financing or any other service.
Message and data rates may apply.
You may opt out of marketing text messages by replying STOP. Reply HELP for assistance where supported.
Marketing emails may include an unsubscribe mechanism.
You may also request removal from marketing calling lists during a telephone conversation.
Revoking marketing consent does not necessarily prevent communications necessary to process an active funding request or otherwise permitted by law.
Fast Capital Rates works with independent third-party funding companies.
These providers are separate legal entities and are responsible for their own:
Underwriting decisions
Financing offers
Credit evaluation procedures
Funding agreements
Payment collection procedures
Customer service
Contract administration
Regulatory compliance obligations
Fast Capital Rates does not control every action or decision made by participating providers.
Once you enter into a financing agreement with a third-party provider, your contractual obligations are governed by that agreement.
Fast Capital Rates is not automatically a party to any financing agreement entered into between you and a funding provider.
