Questions, answered.
How fast can I get the money?
Most term loans fund in one to three business days after you accept an offer. Apply in the morning with clean statements and same-day offers are common.
Is the rate fixed?
Yes. Your APR and monthly payment are locked the day you sign and never change for the life of the loan.
What does Emet earn?
A 2.0–4.0% share of the origination fee, disclosed on every offer. It comes out of the origination you already see — never added on top.
Can I pay it off early?
Most term loans in our network allow early payoff with little or no penalty, and some discount the remaining interest. We flag the prepayment terms on every offer.
Do I need collateral?
Smaller term loans are often unsecured but carry a personal guarantee. Larger amounts may be secured by a general lien on business assets — always disclosed before you sign.
