About FundingRank

Research Business Funding Before You Apply

FundingRank helps business owners compare lenders, financing costs, qualification requirements, and application tradeoffs before submitting personal information.

Why It Exists

When a business is newer, revenue is uneven, or credit is less than perfect, looking for funding can turn into a maze of forms promising quick approval. The problem is that the form often comes before the useful information.

FundingRank is meant to reverse that order. First compare the lender. Check the qualification bar. Work out what the money costs. Read the fine print. Then decide whether applying is worth it.

FundingRank is not a lender and does not send one application to a pool of funding companies.

Compare the Cost

Factor rates, fees, and payment schedules should be easy to compare on the same basis.

Know Who Gets the Application

A direct lender and a marketplace are not the same experience.

Do Not Invent Certainty

If we cannot confirm a requirement or practice, we say so.

Label Paid Relationships

Referral revenue does not buy a better review.
