Features and benefits of a Marketlend loan
Marketlend loans give you direct access to investors and don’t require any property collateral. While you apply for these loans online, you can look forward to personal support through the entire course of your loan. You can also expect minimised red tape as well as increased transparency, security, and confidentiality.
- Loan amount. You can borrow a minimum of $2,000 through a Marketlend loan, and if you qualify you can apply for as much as $1,000,000. If you opt for invoice financing the amount will depend on the invoice you are selling.
- Loan term. Loan terms can vary from three to five years, but this depends on your Marketlend rating.
- Interest rate. Rates for unsecured business loans start from 18% and invoice financing fees start from 0.8% from invoice.
- Repayment flexibility. Marketlend loans come with flexible repayment options, and you don’t have to worry about penalties for early repayments.
Fees and charges
As with any other loans, certain fees and charges apply to Marketlend loans. The details of these costs are as follows:
- Application fee: A fee of $300 plus a minimum 2% fee is payable once your new account is created.
- Closing fee: This fee is a percentage of the total amount you borrow, and takes your Marketlend rating into account.
- Default fees: Expect to pay a $50 failed direct debit fee in the event of your first direct debit dishonour. The second attracts a fee of $100, and this also leads to account closure. The late payment fee stands at $15 per day, and will be charged each day your payment is late.
