Our verdict

Written and analysed by Smarter Loans Editorial Team · Reviewed by Vlad Sherbatov

Best for

Businesses on either side of the border that want up to $1,000,000 against a thin file

Not for

Companies carrying an open bankruptcy, which ends the application regardless of revenue

What we like

  • Cross-border lending, rare in this pool
  • A ceiling of $1,000,000, among the higher ones here
  • A file of one short application and six months of statements

Where it could improve

  • $15,000 in monthly revenue sits above several rivals' bars

Funding for my store

I had a great experience with AFN. They rep was friendly and knowledgeable and was able to get me the financing I needed for my spa.

★★★★★

CEO FreshPetCo

The easiest business lending experience out there. I have worked with several companies in the past to get business capital and a majority of them surprise me with insane fees, crazy rates and they are not honest. Advance Funds Network has been a real pleasure. I was updated consistently. I knew exactly what I was getting and never felt pressured. I could not recommend them more!
