A three-county city

Carrollton is a city in Dallas, Denton and Collin counties. As of the 2020 census, its population was 133,434, making it the 27th most populous city in Texas, according to Wikipedia. Irving, Garland, Grand Prairie, Mesquite, Dallas and Richardson are nearby.

It is part of a metropolitan area where owners can compare many funders and many structures. The challenge is not finding an offer; it is knowing which one to take.

Question 1: What is the money for?

Name the purpose and the amount. Money for payroll during a slow month is a different need from money for a van. A clear purpose also helps you see when a different structure would fit better, such as equipment financing for a machine.

Questions 2 and 3: When does it pay back, and how?

Estimate the date the money starts producing extra revenue or protecting existing revenue. Then ask how repayment is collected and how often. A merchant cash advance is generally described as money received up front and repaid from future sales, and collection frequency changes how it feels to run a business week by week.

Questions 4 through 7

  1. What is the total amount repaid, not just the amount received?
  2. What happens in the slowest week of the last twelve months?
  3. Can the business pay back early, and does that change the cost?
  4. Are there fees at the beginning or end, and how do they change the net amount received?

Write the answers in a table, one column per offer. When the offers are side by side, the weaker ones tend to stand out.

How to use the answers

Take a Carrollton restaurant that wants $40,000 for a kitchen remodel that will close the dining room for two weeks. Run the seven questions and the result may be surprising: the real cost is not only the repayment but the two weeks of lost sales, which belong in the plan. For illustration only, not our terms, the owner might decide to phase the remodel over two slow stretches and request a smaller amount. The questions did not produce a yes or no; they produced a better request.
