06Frequently asked questions
Is Superior Capital legitimate?
Yes. Superior Capital is an established merchant cash advance operation. Like any non-bank lender, terms vary by file — always model true cost-of-capital before signing.
What FICO score do you need for Superior Capital?
Superior Capital's minimum is 530 FICO. Files near the floor get approved when bank statements show consistent revenue and the time-in-business minimum is comfortably exceeded. Borrowers below the floor should look at deeper-paper specialists.
How fast does Superior Capital fund?
24-72 hours from completed application. Same-day approvals are achievable for clean files; same-day funding depends on ACH cutoff timing.
What are Superior Capital's rates?
1.30–1.49 factor rate range. Rates depend on file strength: paper grade (B-D typical), time-in-business, monthly revenue consistency, and industry. Always model effective cost-of-capital including origination fees.
How much can Superior Capital fund?
$10,000 minimum to $400,000 maximum. Most placements land in the $50,000–$200,000 range. Larger amounts require stronger files.
Does Superior Capital file UCC-1 liens?
Yes — UCC-1 financing statements are standard practice across the merchant cash advance category. The filing is a public notice of security interest, not a lien on real property.
How do you settle a Superior Capital advance early?
Early payoff handling varies by contract. With most merchant cash advance structures, the full purchased amount is owed regardless of payback speed unless the contract includes a discount provision. Read the prepayment clause carefully before signing.
