    They do what they say they are going to do, and that seems to be a rarity in their industry. I shopped our financing needs all over, with more than a dozen lenders over a two week period, and was SHOCKED at how many times I was lied to by the others. BFA got me the best terms and performed exactly the way that they said they would. Next time, no need for me to shop around!

      Very friendly and hospitable staff. We needed some capital to expand our small business so we contacted BF Advance a few months ago. Believe it or not, the timeline they advertise is pretty on point. They were able to hook us up with a funding plan much quicker than I would have ever believed. The repayment process is pretty transparent, too. Just be sure to ask if you have questions, they are willing to help! Thanks again!

      In terms of getting alternative funding for your business, the staff at Business Finance Advance are a top notch resource. I needed something outside of the realm of a bank loan and the staff here helped me find the perfect solution. They talked me through the different options and helped me pick what is best for me and my company. The thing that was most astounding was how fast it all was. Like, really, instead of it taking months to get funds it only took me about a week. A+ business with a smart and helpful staff.

      Listen, these people know what they are doing. I shopped around for a bit before deciding on Business Finance Advance and had made a few phone calls to talk to them before even starting the application process. You get what you expect, as long as you read what you are actually signing up for. If you figure everything out beforehand and plan accordingly, you get (pretty much) exactly what you want. Just do your homework, kids! The application process was a breeze and overall it was nice working with these people.

      Great customer service. Helpful and friendly. Whenever I had a problem they were there for me asking what I needed and if they could help in any way. They were very polite and nothing was too much trouble. You ring up, describe how much you want and what you need it for. They ask you what your timeframe for repayment will be and what interest rate will suit i.e. what package. Rates and terms are both competitive. Rates of interest are low and terms are fair. Repayment period is not too onerous and the whole experience was not stressful... they could not have been more helpful. Rates were easy to find and repayment timeframes. It was a really simple process. They needed to know what the loan was for and our turnover to determine whether it was feasible just to ensure we would not default for our peace of mind.

      They are liars. They aren't direct lenders. They say one thing and it's all a lie. They will have more money for you but will offer you less money so they can't make a buck. You are better for going Straight to the lender yourself. The lender has a set rate. They give them 15 percent to play with and a additional 2 percent to play with. They try to charge you crazy amount of money so basically you going through a middle MAN. They say they trying to help you so why not offer you the amount that you need you can get on your feet. They will tell you that is all the money they have but to give you which is a lie. They are lies crooks and they will charge you all these extra fees on top of the money so you not even getting the full amount of money you need.

      Try going to the lenders yourself. BFA, Everest, OnDeck, CAN Capital, for the bigger ones Yellowstone, Knight Capital. To start you can find direct lenders. You can tell by the rate if they charging you 38 percent you know they not direct lenders. Direct lenders will charge you 20 to 28 percent which is still high but not that crazy.

      Business Finance Advance author review by Ashley Eneriz

      Also known as BFAdvance LLC, Nationwide Business Advance Companies, Merchant Cash Advance Companies and Business Advance Companies. Business Finance Advance offers funding opportunities to small, mid-sized and large companies. BFA deals in alternatives to traditional bank loans as part of its mission to make funding more accessible to businesses.

      • Products: Accessed through the Future Credit Card, borrowers can fund accounts receivables, purchase orders, equipment and merchant, as well as other business advance needs. BFA also offers alternative business funding programs.

      • Interest rates: BFA advertises rates as low as 12.99 percent as of April, 2016 as well as variable interest rates. There are no application fees.

      • Service: Quick turnaround with unique computerized loan matching technology.

      • Borrower qualifications: No collateral, tax return or personal guarantee required. Borrowers must have credit card sales of at least $4,000 per month.

      • Fast approval process: Users can expect to receive loan funds deposited into their accounts within seven days of approval. Initial acceptance takes approximately 24 hours.

      • Large loan limits: Loan amounts are based on monthly credit card sales and range from $2,000 to $1,000,000.

      • Repayment options: There are no fixed payments. After receiving the loan, borrowers repay from the company’s future credit card proceeds. Instead of a fixed payment, the borrower repays BFA a fixed percent of their sales plus a pre-determined ‘factor fee.’ There is no loan term, and funds are repaid solely based on company credit card revenue.
