The underwriting process was super cumbersome from start to finish. Underwriting would ask for something and I would provide. They would ask for more and I would provide. They wouldn't stop so I had to tell them I wouldn't submit anymore until they provided me with a final list. After my loan was funded I received a call from Idea Financial who was friendly. I signed all the paperwork but realized the amount Idea rep mentioned was not the limit I was given. All the paperwork had to be sent again and even then it wouldn't come through. Several days of back and forth until finally the document was there to sign. If I had it to do again, I don't think I would have gone through all of that for a LOC that has pretty high interest rate anyway.

Hi Matthew. At Idea Financial, we strive to provide excellent customer service every time. You reference a representative named “Jacques.” He DOES NOT work for Idea Financial. So it appears your experience was with a company other than Idea Financial. However, we are very happy you now have your line of credit with us. I can tell you with near certainty that the line of credit you received was the best non-bank lending option available. We only provide credit to the best businesses, so congratulations to you on your success. We also promise that any experience with us, now that you are our customer, will be positive. Our Business Advisors are experts in our product offerings and can help you with whatever you need.

The dashboard on the website is ok. I loved the availability of funds and the security feature for drawing over 100k. Not much information on to see how much payment is allocated into interest vs principle. Not keen also on a draw fee when I am getting charged a daily interest rate. Most likely moving to another funding source company.

The term rate and payment schedule wasn’t even close to the original parameters laid out in an email that I received from Jim Chapman with circadian funding.

Hello Dennis. Thank you for being an Idea Financial customer. We do think your review is misplaced. While we value our relationship with Circadian Funding and all of our broker-partners, they do not speak for Idea Financial. Our dedicated Business Advisors, who are Idea Financial employees, are responsible for providing you the information about your loan. We apologize that you feel you were given inaccurate information by a third party, but we want it to be made clear that we honor the offers we provide and, in your case, the offer was always the same from the time you were approved until the time you signed. We certainly hope that your experience with Idea Financial is positive from this point forward and our Business Advisors are here to assist in any way they can. Best of luck to you and your business.

They ultimately approved my loan, but it is a very confusing process.

Hi Scott, Thank you for your patience in the checkout process. It sometimes happens that certain smaller financial institutions have more difficulty than others to connect to certain online verifications, and we do require all shareholders to perform it. We assure you; we are working diligently to add new partners daily to avoid this being an issue for any of our customers in the future. At Idea Financial we are always looking to improve our processes and appreciate you bringing your experience to our attention. Our Customer Success Manager will be in contact with you to assure that the rest of your experience is impeccable.

I like the program, They only thing I do not like is the way the interest is front loaded, and when you make a draw it starts completely over with front loading interest again. Is there anyway to have two separate draw repayment programs going?
Response from Idea FinancialApr 11, 2018
Hi Kevin, Thank you so much for your review - we are thrilled to hear you like the Idea Financial program! We appreciate your feedback on our draw and repayment structure for our Line of Credit product. Unlike term loans that charge interest on your entire approval amount, we believe that you should only pay for money you actually use. Thus, we charge interest only on the amounts you draw from your credit line. Because our product offers the flexibility to draw as often as you need, each draw re-amortizes your line. We designed our product this way to allow for longer, more flexible payment options for your business, and to give you more control over your business financing. If you have any other questions about how our product works and the benefits of our structure, please let us know and we will have one of our Business Advisors reach out to you directly. Thank you for allowing us to help you Charge Your Business Forward with an Idea Financial Line of Credit. Sincerely, Nina - Idea Financial Marketing Team
