FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is Fundbox really that much more expensive than bank LOC?

Often, yes — weekly fee structures translate to effective APR meaningfully higher than bank LOC pricing. Translate the fee structure into APR before deciding.

Will RMO underwrite us if we’ve only been operating a year?

Bank underwriting typically prefers 2+ years operating history with consistent financials. Newer businesses may need a longer track record or higher cash reserves to qualify for bank LOC.

Can I have both?

Some businesses use Fundbox while building bank-qualifiable history. Plan to refinance into bank pricing once you qualify.

How fast is RMO?

Clean files decision in days. Funding follows closing.

Do you require collateral?

Depends on line size and risk profile. Smaller LOCs may be unsecured; larger LOCs typically secured.
