Pros of Fundera
The best part about Fundera is that it is FREE, effective, easy to use and their 5-star customer service is one of the best we’ve seen around in a long time. It helps a business get the funding required to grow.
This app does absolutely the same thing it claims to do, structure and streamlines the loan application process. Apart from importing the data, answering a few questions and upload the documents, there was nothing else for us to do. We recommend that these documents be uploaded one at a time, because it didn’t let us upload when we tried uploading all at once. There are no more traditional methods for entrepreneurs; this is how we recommend funding to grow their businesses.
The entire process was hassle free and the icing on the cake was that in a matter of a few hours, we had a couple of loan options for our business with a single application. When the loan options started coming in, we spoke to the lenders who were ready to offer us a loan and trust us they were very easy to deal with, very simple and yet very professional. If you do your research like we did to be able to understand the terms and conditions, we bet you will not be disappointed.
As we said before their website and app are very simple to use, even for a person not comfortable with a computer. The reps/advisors at Fundera are very kind, helpful and felt that their priority was to help our business and nothing else. There aren’t many organizations with that kind of support teams/customer service these days.
Pros of Fundera
There are not many, just a couple of cons that we can think of are, one that in order to figure what loan your business is eligible for you need to fill out the entire application and go through the entire process. It would have been great if Fundera had incorporated a prompt at every stage/selection that told the applicant what they were eligible for.
There are not many what-if scenarios, we’re sure that Fundera will look into these minor niggles in their future product releases.
