Is the National Funding Worth It?

Best for equipment financing. Securing the loan against the machine is what makes this work for businesses a bank would decline. Insist on an APR before signing anything quoted as a factor rate.

National Funding Pros & Cons

Pros
  • The equipment itself is the collateral, so a 600 score can still finance a $100,000 machine
  • Up to $150,000 for equipment with no separate down payment on some deals
  • Early payoff discounts on working capital loans
  • Funds in a day or two
Cons
  • Quotes factor rates, not APRs — convert before comparing
  • $250,000 minimum annual revenue
  • Working capital rates are high
