How do I qualify? What about my credit?

Setscale’s unique model takes a holistic approach to assessing your company’s financial needs. We’re not focused entirely on the size of your previous transactions – we incorporate manufacturing history and the quality of your end buyers. Credit is only a part of the equation. Outstanding purchase orders, sales agreements with your customers and suppliers, and a proven track record are all significant aspects of our assessment.

Can I repeat funding my purchase orders?

Yes! Setscale’s job is to help you grow your business. Our product is designed to repeatedly fund your purchase orders, or continued online sell-through, quickly and efficiently.

What are Setscale’s repayment terms?

This is one of the most favorable and unique elements of our partnership. Each transaction is viewed individually. This means that the funding and settlement for each transaction happens in full at their open and close. Upon the completion of your sale/delivery of the funded product, you and Setscale get paid together.
