About Snowvale Business Capital
Does Snowvale Business Capital lend money?
No. Snowvale Business Capital is a broker, not a lender.
Where are you?
1823 9th St, Greeley, CO 80631. Call (970) 235-9991, or see the contact page.
Do you arrange personal loans?
No. We work on funding for businesses only: no personal, payday, auto title or other consumer loans.
Is a personal loan a good way to fund a business?
It mixes household and business finances, and the business builds no credit history of its own. A business product keeps the two separate, though partners may still ask the owners for a personal guarantee.
Choosing funding
How is a loan different from a merchant cash advance?
With a loan you borrow money and pay it back, with interest, on a set schedule. A merchant cash advance is not a loan: a funder buys part of your future receipts and collects them until a fixed total is remitted. The MCA page explains the difference in detail.
Which funding type is right for my business?
Start with what the money pays for and how long it is needed. The comparison of all six types matches common costs to the type that suits them.
Can a business loan be used to pay the owner?
Business funding is meant for business costs. Owner draws are a business decision, but a partner will ask what the funds are for, and using borrowed money to pay owners usually weakens a request.
Applying
What does the request form ask for?
Your name, email, phone and the company name, plus the consent wording. There are no fields for Social Security or bank account numbers.
Can an LLC get a business loan?
Yes. Partners lend to LLCs, corporations and sole proprietors. They will check that the entity is in good standing in Colorado's records, and they often ask the members to sign a personal guarantee.
Will sending a request get me approved?
Not necessarily. Every partner applies its own standards and may decline. How it works explains each step.
