## Frequently asked questions

### Is Capital Gurus a lender?

Capital Gurus is not a lender. We collect your application, present it to funding providers in our network, and help you compare the offers they make. Each provider sets its own rates, fees and terms, which are disclosed in that provider's agreement.

### Which type of business financing is easiest to qualify for?

It depends on what your business has to show. Products priced on revenue, such as a merchant cash advance, lean on your deposits more than your credit score, while term loans and SBA loans ask for a longer history and stronger credit. Meeting a provider's minimums does not guarantee an offer. A funding specialist can tell you which products your file fits before you apply.

### Can one application be considered for more than one product?

Yes. You apply once, and a funding specialist reads the application and presents it to the providers in our network whose products fit your file. If the first product does not fit, the specialist checks the next one without asking you to start over. Each provider that makes an offer sets its own rates, fees and terms.

### Does checking my options affect my credit score?

Checking your options with Capital Gurus is a soft credit pull only, so it does not affect your credit score. The application takes about 5 minutes and carries no obligation to accept an offer. A funding provider may run its own credit review before it funds, and its agreement states what it checks.
