Forward Financing

What does Forward Financing offer?

Forward Financing offers two structures. Under revenue based financing, you receive capital up front in exchange for an agreed amount of your future revenue, remitted as you earn it. Under its business loan, you take on a defined repayment obligation with a set schedule. The profile notes that Forward's own FAQ describes different cost and payment mechanics for the two, so the agreement you are offered determines how to compare it with anything else. Which product you can get depends on your state.

Who does Forward Financing fund, and who do they decline?

Forward funds US small businesses across a range of industries. The profile does not publish a funding range, revenue minimum, time in business, credit score or decline criteria.

Products in this category are typically used by owners who need capital within days, including those a bank has declined, and they need consistent deposits to support the remittances. If your business qualifies for a bank or online line of credit, that route will usually cost less. Confirm your state is covered for the product you want before you spend time on the application.

What does it typically cost and how fast is it?

Forward does not publish rates or fees; pricing is quoted per file. For the revenue based product, ask for the revenue percentage, the remittance schedule, any processing fees, the total cost and the early payoff terms. For the loan, ask for the APR and the repayment schedule. Convert any factor quote with our APR versus factor rate guide and compare with the revenue based financing page. Funding speed is not published.

What will you need to apply?

Expect a short application with three to six months of business bank statements, your EIN and formation documents and owner ID, plus card processing statements if your revenue runs through cards. Our document checklist covers everything you might be asked for in this category.

How does Forward Financing compare with similar lenders?

CFG Merchant Solutions offers the same two product pairing and adds an ISO partner channel. Expansion Capital Group is a direct working capital provider in Sioux Falls with revenue based financing as its named structure. None of the three publishes pricing, and all three move quickly, so the choice comes down to the quoted total cost, the remittance terms and which product is available in your state.
