Who is On Deck?
We started in 2007 with the simple mission of helping small businesses access capital. To date, we've delivered over $275 million nationwide.
What are the amounts and terms of an On Deck loan?
On Deck offers loans ranging from $5,000 - $150,000, with terms between 3 - 18 months.
Does On Deck offer merchant cash advances or true small business loans?
No. On Deck offers true business loans with fixed terms and payments, which is typically up to 50% less expensive than a merchant cash advance. Also, On Deck reports your payment history to the credit agencies, whereas there are no credit benefits to using a merchant cash advance.
Many small businesses use On Deck financing for purchasing inventory, equipment, launching a marketing campaign, hiring additional employees or even general working capital.
How are On Deck repaid?
On Deck uses Daily Direct DebitSM® payments, which are made directly from your business bank account each business day. These fixed, daily payments are proven to prevent the snowball effect often caused by missing larger monthly payments. We will inform you of your exact payment amount, and our online loan management portal allows you to monitor the activity.
