What does TrustedBizFunder actually do?
We take one application, help match your business with funding partners whose products fit it, and help you understand the offers that come back. The funding partner that provides the money is named in your contract, so you always know who you are dealing with before you sign anything.
We work with contractors, retailers, online sellers, professional firms, home-service companies, manufacturers and distributors. Products include working capital, merchant cash advances, term loans, lines of credit, equipment financing and help comparing SBA loan options.
Why does a funding brand publish scam and contract guides?
Because a well-informed owner makes better decisions, and better decisions are good for everyone involved. An owner who knows what a personal guarantee, a blanket lien or a reconciliation clause means can compare offers honestly and avoid the scams that give small business funding a bad name.
Our Resources section covers upfront fee scams, how to verify any funding company, including us, and the contract terms that matter most. The guides are general information, not legal advice.
What standards do we hold ourselves to?
We follow a short list of commitments on every file: no fee asked of you before funding, no promise of approval before your finances are reviewed, the full contract available to read before signing, honest explanation of cost and risk, and the right to walk away from any offer.
- Costs in writing. Any cost is disclosed in the written contract from the funding partner.
- No approval promises. Decisions depend on your documents and each funding partner's review.
- Time to read. Ask questions, and consult an attorney or accountant if you want to.
- Honest fit. If short-term funding would strain your cash flow, we would rather say so.
How do I contact TrustedBizFunder?
