How Does Small Business Loans Work?
How does small business loans work, in plain terms: you borrow a set amount, agree to a rate and a repayment schedule, and pay it back over months or years while the lender earns interest. What trips owners up is the matching, finding a lender whose appetite fits your revenue, credit, and industry. Quordx Capital removes that friction by submitting one application to 3-7 best-fit lenders from a 50+ network, returning real offers in 24-48 hours at no cost to you.

How Does the Mechanism Work?
A lender verifies your revenue through bank statements, prices risk into a rate, and sets a term length. You repay principal plus interest, usually monthly, weekly, or daily depending on the product. Pay on time and you build a track record that earns better terms next time.
The same business can get very different answers from different lenders, because each one weighs credit, deposits, and industry differently. That's why a single rejection means little. Quordx Capital compares lenders for you simultaneously, so the offer you accept is the best fit, not just the first one you found.
Which Funding Options Fit?
Term Loan: Lump sum, fixed payments, $10K-$500K+, roughly 8-30%. Best for planned, one-time spending you repay over a set term.
Line of Credit: Borrow and repay repeatedly up to a limit, $10K-$250K+. Best for recurring or unpredictable needs, with interest only on what you draw.
Merchant Cash Advance: Repaid as a share of daily card sales, factor 1.1-1.5. A tool for revenue-heavy businesses, presented with its real cost, not a default choice.
What to Expect
Decisions usually arrive in 24-48 hours, funding in 3-7 business days. Rate and term track your credit, revenue, and time in business, the stronger each is, the better the offer. Reading the full cost, not just the monthly payment, is what separates a smart borrow from an expensive one.
Quordx Capital never charges the borrower. The lender pays our commission when the deal closes.
