2021 Business Loan Provider Reviews

Advanced Commercial Capital

Based in southern Utah, Advanced Commercial Capital provides business loans through a system known as factoring: a business in need of quick cash essentially sells its outstanding accounts receivable to a financial institution (called a "factor"), and that institution buys those accounts at a discount as its fee for the service. Those fees, which would be somewhat comparable to an interest rate on a loan, typically range from 5.5% to 10%, depending on the credit risk of the invoices purchased by the factor. Those rates are significantly lower than most business loans provided by other services in our review.

Lengthy application

When deciding to work with a client, ACC looks to see if the business is essentially successful but having issues with managing their cash flow as they provide goods and/or services to stable customers with good credit. The initial application form is somewhat lengthy; prospective customers must provide detailed information regarding their business, including the structure (for example, sole proprietorship, LLC, and so on), owner(s), primary industry, and at least two trade references. Once the application has been submitted, ACC typically renders a decision within 72 hours. After receiving an original invoice and supporting documentation, businesses can expect to have the funds within 24 hours.

Several questions

When evaluating ACC's reputation as a business loan provider, we noticed several things that could be cause for concern. First, we were unable to find a Better Business Bureau rating for Advanced Commercial Capital; along with a LinkedIn profile showing that the company has 10 or fewer employees, ACC does not seem to be a key player in the business loan market. Also, both the blog and the Facebook page for Advanced Commercial Capital haven't been updated since 2014, again leaving us to wonder exactly how active ACC is within the lending market. On a positive note, a call to the toll-free number featured prominently at the top of ACC's website was answered quickly; the representative reassured us that they are still very active in the lending industry and that they are working on updating both the Facebook page and the blog in the near future.

Spcific lending solution

In summary, ACC may be a good lender for established businesses that want an alternative to a traditional business loan and interest rates that are potentially much lower than what they could obtain elsewhere. However, because Advanced Commercial Capital focuses primarily on factoring-type lending, they may not be the best fit for a large number of potential customers, especially those who are looking for startup cash.
