Factor rate
The multiplier applied to your funded amount to get your total payback. A 1.37 factor rate on $100K means you pay back $137K total. Used for MCAs, not loans.
Interest rate
The annual rate used to calculate your payment on a loan or line of credit. Unlike a factor rate, it accrues over time as the balance is paid down.
Cost of capital
The difference between what you received and what you paid back. This amount is typically tax-deductible as a business expense — ask your accountant.
Amortized payment
A fixed payment that covers both principal and interest over the life of a term loan, SBA loan, or equipment loan, so the balance reaches zero at the end of the term.
Daily payment
MCA payments are typically debited daily from your business bank account on business days. The total payback divided by the number of payment days.
GAAP report
After funding, FinProQuo provides a GAAP-compliant cost of capital report for your accountant showing total interest paid — useful for tax deductions.
