One proposal, with the complete terms

The proposed amount and term, interest payable to investors, Backers fees, net proceeds and repayment schedule belong together. Review them in the same document with your partner, accountant or lawyer.

Get Backers

Investor coupons remain within 14.99%–29.99% per year. Backers’ fees: a closing commission of 7.99% of the loan, withheld at funding, and servicing of 0.29% per month of the balance still owed. Your proposal states the applicable coupon alongside these fees and any disclosed external financing costs. The complete terms must meet the applicable cost-of-credit limit.

New debt has a minimum 12-month term and is closed to voluntary repayment for the first 12 months. A note maturing then repays principal at maturity; longer terms may permit repayment after the closed period, on the agreed notice and settlement terms.

No upfront fee. Business financing carries no Issuer Access and Due Diligence Fee, and Backers’ fees apply only if the offering is funded. Loans run from $15,000 to $500,000, for corporations.

Repayment
Monthly payments that repay principal, interest-only payments with principal due at maturity, or an initial interest-only period followed by principal repayment. The proposal states which applies.
Fees and net proceeds
The proposal sets out the closing commission, servicing on the outstanding balance, external costs and the resulting amount available to the company. Nothing is payable upfront; the closing commission is withheld at funding.
Early repayment
The proposal states whether repayment is closed or permitted after an agreed period, the notice required and the settlement method. Any required fee credit-back is included in settlement.
Security and requirements
Proposed security, priority, guarantees, reporting and documents are recorded for discussion. Their final scope depends on the applicable agreements and requirements.

The complete borrowing cost, including issuer fees, must meet the applicable legal limit. Proposed terms can change during review. Signing the Issuer Access Agreement does not guarantee funding. How terms and fees work.

Backers Securities Inc. operates the funding portal. Backers does not lend the money or advise purchasers on the merits or suitability of a security. A proposal, a signed agreement or permission to list is not a promise of funding or repayment.

Questions

Can we ask for interest-only payments?+
Yes. A proposal can provide for monthly interest and servicing while principal remains outstanding, with the principal due at maturity. It can also provide for an initial interest-only period followed by principal repayment. The document shows the repayment schedule and any principal balloon.
Is there an upfront fee?+
No. Business financing carries no Issuer Access and Due Diligence Fee. Backers’ closing commission of 7.99% is withheld from the loan when it funds, and servicing of 0.29% per month of the balance still owed is part of each monthly payment. If the loan does not fund, neither is charged.
Can my partner or adviser review the proposal?+
A Backers-created review link can be read without signing in. Invite partners and advisers into your company workspace to comment inline and suggest changes. Private company files remain accessible only to the company team and Backers staff.
Does signing the Issuer Access Agreement mean the financing is confirmed?+
No. The signed document identifies its binding provisions. Proposed financing remains conditional on information and document review, final agreements, applicable listing requirements and successful funding.
What happens to an existing note?+
It keeps its agreed terms and original pricing version. A new proposal does not amend an existing note or change an investor's rights.
