ATTENTION LOAN STAR PARTNERS: TWO EXCITING NEW PRODUCT OFFERINGS

Interest-Only Revolving Line of Credit

With today’s inflationary instabilities and supply chain debacles, now more than ever business owners must be financially prepared to pivot at any moment. That means quick access to the most affordable capital is essential to keep pace with the challenges they face. ARF Financial understands those changing needs and has recently introduced a new Interest-Only Revolving Line of Credit, IO-Bankroll, to help merchants maneuver as quickly as the market fluctuates.

With IO-Bamkroll, clients only pay the interest on their outstanding balance for up to a year and can draw funds or make partial principal payments as often as they need­ during the 11-month revolving period. This ensures the client is in complete control of their finances based on the franchises changing needs.

The merchant will be required to submit updated bank transactional data via PLAID or via paper statements prior to a draw request being funded. ARF will strive to fund all qualified draw requests within two business days of receipt. The Interest-Only Revolving Line of Credit product can only be offered by active, validated Loan Star partners.
