DISCLOSURES
Important Information About Our Services
SMB Street is committed to transparency in all our business dealings. This Disclosures page provides important information about our services, business relationships, and regulatory compliance. Please read this information carefully before applying for funding or using our services.
1. Nature of Services
SMB Street operates as a funding broker and consultant. We are not a direct lender. Our services include:
Evaluating your business funding needs
Connecting you with appropriate lending partners from our network
Assisting with the application and pre-qualification process
Providing guidance and support throughout the funding process
Funding decisions are made by our lending partners, not by SMB Street. We do not guarantee approval, funding amounts, or specific terms.
2. Lending Partner Relationships
SMB Street maintains relationships with a network of lending partners, including banks, alternative lenders, and financial institutions. We may receive compensation from these partners for successful referrals and funded transactions. This compensation does not affect the cost or terms of funding offered to you and does not influence which funding options we present.
3. Funding Products and Terms
Funding products offered through our network may include, but are not limited to:
Merchant Cash Advances (MCA)
Business Lines of Credit
Term Loans
Equipment Financing
Invoice Factoring
Revenue-Based Financing
Each product has unique terms, costs, and repayment structures. Annual Percentage Rates (APRs) may vary significantly based on the product type, your business profile, and the lending partner. We encourage you to carefully review all terms before accepting any funding offer.
4. Application and Approval Process
When you submit an application through SMB Street:
We collect and review your business information
We may share your information with multiple lending partners
Lending partners conduct their own underwriting and approval processes
You may receive multiple offers with varying terms
You are under no obligation to accept any offer
Pre-qualification does not guarantee final approval. Final approval is subject to complete underwriting and verification by the lending partner.
5. Credit Inquiries
During the application process, SMB Street and/or our lending partners may perform credit inquiries. Initial inquiries are typically "soft pulls" that do not affect your credit score. If you proceed with a formal application, lending partners may conduct "hard pulls" that could impact your credit score. We will inform you before any hard credit inquiries are made.
