About Driftland Advances

Which towns do you work with?

Personal, payday or title loans: any help there?
No. Business funding only.
Choosing funding
Could loan proceeds go toward paying me, the owner?
Funding is for business purposes, and many agreements limit owner draws or distributions. Paying yourself a normal salary through payroll is different from taking a lump sum out; check the use-of-proceeds clause and ask your accountant.
Would borrowing personally to fund the business be wise?
Some owners do, especially very early on, but it puts the debt in your own name and may not be built for business use. Personal loans are outside what we arrange. Business funding keeps the obligation with the company, though an owner guarantee is common.
Does an advance offer count as borrowing?
No. A merchant cash advance is not a loan; it is a purchase of future receivables. The advance page walks through holdbacks, factor rates and reconciliation.
Can you tell me what rate I will get?
No. Only the lending partner can price an offer.
Applying
What will the online request form ask me?
Full name, email, phone and business name, then three drop-downs (time in business, annual revenue, the amount you want) and one consent checkbox. The purpose comes up when we call back.
Is an LLC eligible for a business loan?
Yes; partners consider LLCs, corporations and sole proprietorships. Partners look at the business and usually at the owners behind it, and they check that the entity is in good standing with the state.
Will applying affect my credit?
A partner may check credit as part of its review, and some checks can show up on reports. Ask the partner which kind of inquiry it uses.
What happens after I call?
The four steps explain it, from the first conversation to the partner's decision.
Arkansas and local questions
Does my company need to be in good standing in Arkansas?
Partners commonly check entity status with the Arkansas Secretary of State. Our franchise tax and annual report guide explains how to check before you apply.
Who offers free business-plan help near Conway, AR?
The resources page lists free advising and local contacts for Faulkner County owners.
Do you work with agriculture or trucking businesses?
No. Partners have not confirmed those sectors with us, so we do not take those requests.
