What we collect, what we never collect, and who sees it.
Drafted with AI assistance and checked by a person. Its factual claims were verified against the sources listed at the end, by Find Me Funders editorial.
What a Level 1 inquiry collects
Amount range, purpose, business name, industry, state, time in business, revenue range, an optional credit range, and your name, email and phone. Ranges, not exact figures, because a range is enough to filter published criteria.
What it never collects
No Social Security number. No bank login or account credentials. No bank statements, tax returns or application documents. If you go on to a full application with a lender, that lender collects what it needs directly from you, under its own agreement with you.
Who sees it
Your details go to a lender only when you ask us to send them. The consent you granted is recorded with the inquiry and shown to you on your dashboard. You can withdraw it by emailing [email protected] with your reference number.
Analytics
Inquiry form contents are not placed in analytics events or application logs. Campaign attribution — which page you arrived on and which campaign brought you — is recorded first-party against the inquiry and is not forwarded to a third party from here.
Your account
An account is optional; an inquiry can be completed without one. If you create one, you see only your own inquiries, saved lenders and saved comparisons.
Related questions
What does this guide cover?
What we collect, what we never collect, and who sees it.
Are the figures here quotes?
No. Every worked example is labelled illustrative and exists to show the arithmetic. What a particular lender charges is on that lender's page, where it publishes it at all.
Who writes this?
The Find Me Funders research desk. Some drafting is AI-assisted, and every page that is says so at the top, including whether a person has checked its claims yet.
How do I know a figure here is right?
Where a page carries the green notice, its claims were checked against the sources listed at the end and a reviewer is named. Where it carries the amber one, nobody has verified it yet and you should confirm anything you plan to act on.
Are the examples real deals?
No. Every worked example is labelled illustrative and exists to show the arithmetic. What any particular lender charges is on that lender's page, where it publishes it.
Why do you never say what a typical rate is?
Because we cannot source it. A market average assembled from lenders who do not publish prices is a guess with a decimal point on it. Where a lender publishes a figure, we show that figure and say where it came from.
Is this financial or legal advice?
No. It is general information about how these products work. Outcomes depend on your contract and your state, and a lawyer or accountant licensed where you are is the person to ask about your situation.

How often is this updated?
Each page shows when it was last updated. Legal and regulatory material is re-checked when the underlying rule moves, and the page says when it was last read.
