Nothing here is hidden by us — these are the fields Fora Financial leaves off its own site. Ask for each of them in writing before you sign anything, and treat a refusal to put one in writing as an answer.
Product by product
Pricing basis sits in its own column because a factor rate and an APR measure different things and must never be read as one number.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Merchant Cash Advance | Up to $1.5M | Not disclosed | Not publicly disclosed | Up to 18 mo | In as little as 24 hours of acceptance |
|
| Working Capital | Up to $1.5M | Factor rate | 1.13x – 1.5x | 4–18 mo | as soon as 24 hours of offer acceptance |
|
| Business Line of Credit | $5K – $100K | Not disclosed | Not publicly disclosed | Up to 12 mo | Within one business day of approval |

Where did these figures come from?
Each one traces to a document someone read, on a date, listed at the bottom of this page. Where a figure is absent it is absent here too. Where this page says a figure is not disclosed, it means the lender publishes nothing we could find and cite. It is not an estimate, a category average or a zero. Filling that gap with a guess is how a business ends up applying somewhere it was never going to qualify.
Is Find Me Funders affiliated with Fora Financial?
No. Find Me Funders is a directory and does not lend, make credit decisions or set terms. Everything here describes what other companies publish about themselves. Find Me Funders is free to use. We earn a fee from some funders when a business we refer goes on to receive funding, and a funder can pay for a placement, which is always labelled. Neither changes a disclosure score, a ranking position or what a page says — scores are computed from published fields, not from commercial relationships.
