StreetShares to Offer Zero Fee Financing to Small Businesses and Rebate Four Weeks of Interest Charges
RESTON, Va. (PRWEB) April 09, 2019 -- StreetShares announces a bold, industry-leading move by making small business financing even more transparent and affordable. StreetShares is one of the most transparent online business lenders and has never charged prepayment penalties or hidden fees. To make its product even more transparent, StreetShares is now offering a small business product where absolutely no fees will be charged on small business loans or lines of credit.
Small business owners have multiple options today to get financing, but the finance terms and fee structures are hidden and don’t clearly display the true cost of credit. Unlike consumer lending space, there is no summary of the cost of credit requirements to display the APRs and other terms of the loans in the small business lending. Many lenders don’t display the true cost of credit, hidden fees, and early prepayment penalties.
StreetShares is leading the industry by creating a zero fee product with a low, straightforward interest rate, allowing business owners to more clearly understand the cost of credit as they are increasingly accustomed to in the consumer lending space. Based on our research, many small business owners get caught off guard when they take a business loan and are typically unaware of the fees their business lenders are charging. Many lenders also accelerate the interest if they want to pay off the loan early. Maintaining a line of credit with many lenders opens up borrowers to a combination of origination fees, draw fees, documentation fees, maintenance fees, and renewal fees. Moreover, businesses are frequently charged exorbitant fees if they ever miss a payment or need to update bank account information. This has created mistrust between the business lending industry and the business owners.
StreetShares is changing the game by offering a No-Fee product to business owners and challenge the industry to follow suit. In addition to this zero fee offering, StreetShares is also providing a four-week interest rate rebate to small business owners. With this rebate, if borrowers choose to pay off their loan or line of credit draw in the 4 weeks period, they can do it without being assessed a single fee or finance charge. StreetShares is the only firm in the small business funding industry that is providing this valuable benefit to small businesses.
Built around a mission to serve, StreetShares is excited to be the first small business lender to offer zero fee small business loans and lines of credit. To expedite the delivery of these products to market and better serve our customers, StreetShares is launching these zero fee products for an introductory period from April 1st through May 31st, 2019.
