About Cloverglen Finance
Is Cloverglen Finance a lender?
No. Cloverglen Finance is a broker, not a lender.
Where is the business?
301 S Walnut St, Muncie, IN 47305, in Delaware County, Indiana. Phone (765) 224-5062.
Will you help with a consumer loan?
No. We work only on funding for businesses, never personal, payday, auto title or home loans.
Do you work with every industry?
Partners commonly fund construction, restaurants, medical and dental practices, and retail and wholesale. Requests from farms and trucking firms fall outside what we handle.
Choosing funding
How do I know which structure fits?
Begin with what the money buys and how it returns. How a request moves explains the match.
Is an advance just a loan under another name?
No. It is a sale of future receipts. The advance page sets out the holdback, the factor rate and the total remitted.
Could borrowed business money cover my own pay?
Money raised by the business has to serve the business. Paying yourself normally comes from profit; borrowing to cover owner pay usually signals a deeper cash problem, and a partner will ask what the money is for.
Should I use a personal loan for business?
It mixes personal and business debt and can make later business applications harder to read. Business funding keeps the two apart, though owners often still sign a personal guarantee.
Applying
Which fields are on the form?
Your full name, email, phone and business name; a range each for time in business, annual revenue and the amount requested; and a consent tick box. The purpose question waits for the phone call.
May an LLC borrow in its own name?
Yes, an LLC can apply in its own name. Partners usually check that it is active with the state and ask the owners for a personal guarantee.
Will applying affect my credit?
A partner may check business and personal credit during its review. Ask the partner what kind of inquiry it uses before you consent.
Can you tell me my rate?
No. Only a partner can price an offer, and only after its review.
Indiana and local questions
Why would a partner ask for my retail merchant certificate?
It shows the business is registered to collect sales tax where that applies. The guides page includes an Indiana guide on it.
