How it works · 4 steps · Same-day funding

Four steps.
You see the
math at every one.

From the moment you move a slider to the wire hitting your account — every fee, every rate, every minute it costs you, on the page.

Step 0101

Estimate your rate — before we know your name.

Two sliders. A rate range and a weekly payment. The math is in the open — no email gate, no sign-up, no cookie wall. You see the same calculator we use to brief lenders.

What estimating gets you

A realistic factor / APR range for your monthly volume — based on the same product matching logic our advisors run, not a marketing tease. If the rate doesn’t make sense for your business, we’d rather you know now than after a hard pull.

The calculator stays in your browser. We don’t see what you type until you decide to apply.

  • No credit pull. Soft or hard. Period.
  • The math is shown. Factor × principal ÷ term. Open it.
Step 0202

Quick check — seven fields, and we tell you why each one.

We ask only what a lender needs to underwrite. No “to better serve you” boxes. Click any field to read exactly what it unlocks and why we’re not asking for more.

Why so short?

Brokers ask for forty fields up front because they’re underwriting at the broker level. We’re not. Underwriting happens at the lender — we shop your file across the matched ones, so a clean 7-field check is enough to get real offers back.

If we need anything else (a bank link, ID, optional tax returns to unlock SBA), it comes in step 3 — after you’ve seen the math, not before.

  • Save & exit anywhere. Resume via magic link, no account needed.
  • Your data isn’t shopped. We share only with matched lenders, named on the offer page.
Step 0303

We shop your file — across forty lenders, in the open.

The minute you submit, your advisor pushes your file to every lender it qualifies for — in parallel, not in sequence. Offers start coming back within hours, on the same business day you apply.

The whole network gets a shot

Your file goes wide — every lender in our 40+ network that matches your product, volume, and time-in-business gate. We don’t route preferred deals to preferred desks; everyone matched gets the file at the same time.

You’ll see the live match count update as lenders qualify the file. Typically 3–5 come back with offers the same business day you submit; the rest pass — and we’ll tell you why.

  • Real names, not placeholders. You see who’s bidding.
  • Pass reasons are shown. If a lender declines, the reason lands in your portal.

Why we name our cut

Most brokers fold their commission into the lender rate so you never see it as a line item. We don’t. Our cut is a flat percentage of the funded amount, disclosed before sign, the same on every offer — so it never bends the recommendation.

  • Same percentage, every lender. It never bends the recommendation.
  • Walk away free. No offer accepted means we earn nothing.

Questions worth asking

The six we get most often.

Short answers, with links to the long ones if you want the depth.

Search 40+ more questions
  • 01Does applying hurt my credit?

    Not in steps 1–3.The quick check uses a soft pull that’s invisible to other lenders and doesn’t move your score. A hard pull fires only when you click sign on an offer in step 4 — and only the lender you chose runs it. If you decline every offer, no hard pull ever runs.

    SOFT_PULL_ONLY · UNTIL_STEP_4Full credit pull policy →
  • 02How does Emet make money?

    A flat 2.5–3.5% of the funded amount, paid by the lender at funding. The same percentage applies to every lender on our network — so it never bends which one we recommend. Our cut appears as a line item on every offer you see, before you sign.

    FLAT_RATE · ALL_LENDERSPricing & fees →
  • 03What documents do I actually need?

    For most products: a Plaid bank link (4 months) and a photo of your ID. SBA unlocks if you add tax returns, and equipment financing needs an invoice. Everything goes into a single drop zone in step 3 — no fax, no email back-and-forth.

  • 04What if every lender declines?

    You see the pass reasons in your portal— by lender, in plain language. Your advisor calls within a business day with the two or three things that would change the outcome (e.g. “another 6 months of revenue, or an SBA-eligible co-signer”). No hard pull ran. You owe nothing.

    DECLINED · NO_FEE · NO_HARD_PULLHow we handle passes →
  • 05How is the rate range calculated?

    From the actual offer bands our matched lenders quoted in the last 90 days for files like yours (volume × time-in-business × product). Not a marketing range. The library page lists the underlying bands by product — open math, audited monthly.

  • 06Can I talk to a human first?

    Yes — book a 15-minute callwith an advisor before doing anything else. Or text the published advisor line and you’ll get a reply within business hours (median: 11 minutes, last 30 days). No bot triage. No “press 1 for funding.”
