How Does Small Business Funding Work?
How does small business funding work, end to end: you prove your revenue, a lender prices the risk, you receive capital, and you repay on agreed terms. The variable that decides your experience is which lender sees your file, bank, SBA, online, or revenue-based, and whether it fits your profile. Quordx Capital handles that match, sending one application to 3-7 best-fit lenders from a 50+ network, free, with decisions in 24-48 hours.

How Does the Funding Flow Work?
Lenders verify revenue through bank statements, assess credit and time in business, and return an offer with an amount, rate, and term. You compare, accept, and funds typically arrive in 3-7 business days. Repayment cadence varies by product, monthly, weekly, or daily.
The cadence matters as much as the rate. A daily-pay advance can squeeze cash flow even when its sticker cost looks reasonable, while a monthly term loan leaves more room to operate. Read the full cost and the payment rhythm together. Quordx Capital submits to multiple lenders at once, turning a one-bank gamble into a real comparison. That way you see how the same need looks across a term loan, a line of credit, and a revenue-based option before you commit to any of them.
Which Funding Options Fit?
Term Loan: Fixed amount, fixed schedule, $10K-$500K+, roughly 8-30%. Best for planned spending.
Line of Credit: Revolving access, $10K-$250K+. Best for ongoing needs, with interest only on what you draw.
Merchant Cash Advance: Repaid from daily card sales, factor 1.1-1.5. A revenue-flexing tool, priced honestly, not a default.
What to Expect
Expect decisions in 24-48 hours and funding in 3-7 business days. Credit, revenue, and time in business drive your rate and term. Comparing several offers side by side is how you land on the cheapest, best-structured one rather than the first that arrives.
