UNDERSTANDING THE TERMS
Understanding Reconciliation Provisions
In future receivables financing, reconciliation provisions determine how payments may adjust when your revenue falls below projections.
Before Revenue Drop
MONTHLY REVENUE:
$100,000
DAILY PAYMENT (15%):
$500/day
ESTIMATED TERM:
6 months
After Reconciliation Request
MONTHLY REVENUE:
$60,000
ADJUSTED PAYMENT (15%):
$300/day
EXTENDED TERM:
10 months
How Reconciliation Works
You Request Reconciliation
.svg)
Revenue drops below projections
You notify lender within timeframe (typically 30 days)
Provide updated bank statements or financial records
Explain reason for revenue decline
Lender Reviews Your Request
Lender verifies your updated revenue data
Reviews reconciliation provisions in contract
May request additional documentation
Decision typically within 5–10 business days
Payment Adjustment
Daily/weekly payment reduced to match new revenue %
Total purchase price does NOT change
Term extends to allow lower payments
Agreement amended with new schedule
Ongoing Monitoring
Lender may require monthly revenue reporting
If revenue increases, payments may increase again
Some contracts limit number of reconciliations
Failure to report accurately can trigger default
What to Watch For
Reconciliation fees (some lenders charge $500–$2,000)
Minimum payment floors (e.g., cannot go below $200/day)
Maximum term caps (e.g., cannot extend beyond 18 months)
Automatic reconciliation triggers vs. manual request
LEGAL FILINGS
Understanding UCC-1 Filings
What they are, why they matter, and how they impact your business.
.svg){kind=icon}
What is a UCC-1 Filing?
Public notice filed with Secretary of State
States lender has a claim on your future receivables
Alerts other lenders to existing financing
Does NOT mean lender owns your business
Why UCC Filings Exist
Protects lender's interest in the receivables sale
Prevents you from selling same receivables twice
Required for legal enforceability in most states
Standard practice in receivables financing
Priority & Liens
First lender to file typically has priority
Multiple UCC filings can exist simultaneously
Second lien = harder to get additional financing
UCC search shows all active filings on your business
.svg){kind=icon}
How to Remove / What to Ask
UCC-3 termination statement filed after repayment
Ask lender: "When will UCC be released?"
Verify removal 30-60 days after final payment
Unreleased UCC can block future loans
.svg){kind=icon}
Always ask: "Will a UCC-1 be filed? Where? When will it be released? Can I get a copy of the filing?" Unreleased UCC filings can prevent you from accessing other financing for months or years.

Perfect for High Card Volume Industries
Select your industry to see specific benefits
Best For / Good Fit
Hiring additional staff or contractors
Launching new product lines or services
Expanding to new locations or markets
Investing in marketing or sales
Upgrading equipment or technology
You have strong revenue but limited cash reserves
Cost is higher than traditional bank loans
UCC filing may limit future financing options
Revenue growth must materialize to avoid reconciliation
Early payoff does not reduce total cost
Daily payments can strain cash flow during ramp-up
Consider SBA loan or equity if you qualify
BETTER ALTERNATIVE IF...
If growth is 12+ months out, explore term loans or lines of credit with lower cost and fixed payments.
Best For / Good Fit
Off-season cash flow gaps (retail, landscaping, tourism)
Inventory purchases before peak season
Covering fixed costs during slow months
Bridge to high-revenue season
Predictable annual revenue cycles
Need flexibility in repayment timing
Reconciliation may be needed during slow season
Total repayment amount stays same regardless of revenue
Daily payments continue even in off-season
If season underperforms, term extends
Ask about seasonal reconciliation policies
Compare to seasonal credit line
BETTER ALTERNATIVE IF...
If you have strong credit, a seasonal line of credit may offer lower cost and only pay interest on what you use.
Best For / Good Fit
Bulk inventory purchases at discount
Raw materials or COGS before production
Fast-moving inventory to avoid stockouts
Just-in-time delivery financing
Taking advantage of supplier early-pay discounts
Wholesale purchases for retail/e-commerce
If inventory does not sell as projected, reconciliation needed
UCC filing may create lien on inventory
Factor cost can exceed margin on slow-moving goods
Daily payments start immediately (before sales)
Ensure inventory turnover supports repayment pace
Consider inventory financing or PO financing
BETTER ALTERNATIVE IF...
Purchase order financing or inventory-specific loans may offer lower rates and asset-based collateral.
Best For / Good Fit
Waiting for large customer payment (Net-30, Net-60)
Bridge between contracts or project milestones
Temporary cash shortage before funding event
Cover payroll while waiting on receivables
Short-term emergency needs (1–3 months)
Fast approval needed (24–48 hours)
Short-term use but full factor cost applies
Early payoff typically does not reduce cost
If bridge period extends, total cost increases
UCC filing may remain even after short use
Daily payments can be high on short terms
Consider invoice factoring or bridge loan
BETTER ALTERNATIVE IF...
Invoice factoring lets you sell specific invoices with lower cost for short-term gaps.
