New Square Loan in 2024

I’m at a bit of a loss for what else I need to do to be offered a new Square Loan at this point. I’ve been with Square for over 10 years, had 7 loans now that I’ve have paid back early every single time. Metrics are all in green, record sales year. In 2023, record numbers across the board, no refunds, no complaints or issues of any kind in our entire history. Current loan is 80% paid off, but no new offer in site. This is the kind of stuff that causes businesses to find someone else to process through! Please help! I’m sure I’ll get the same old excuses that you guys send to everyone about looking at every aspect of the business. But there isn’t a single aspect that isn’t way up. I’m not sure if there is a new process they are using now, or if there is some kind of issue with my banking or something else I’m not thinking about or aware of. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, because I could really use some new capital to start the year off with and reinvest into my business!

Update update update. 

I received my new offer yesterday at 79%

My previous loan was 100k paid back 79% in right at 6 months.

Sales and processing were way up and this offer was $106,000 k my daily percentage went down to 18.5 from 20%

 

I accepted offer and was approved and deposited today.

Should have this paid back by the same percentage around the first of the year.  Square is still actively lending. They are just choosing who to loan to and how often.

 

Good luck and happy processing everyone!

So this latest one I did 857k on offer 106 k and my last offer was 707k processing and loan was 100k. 

I thought the increase should’ve been more but then they lowered the repayment rate. It’s just a computer AI making the decision??

thanks for the info. I just like to know others loan amounts based off a percentage of sales. It looks like you’re between 12-14%. My fourth loan was my highest as based of sales at 11%. My current fifth loan is a whopping 4.2% based off my sales with sales increasing from 128k to 150k between offers. My repayment went from 17.25% down to 12.5%.

Hello, I think I saw your post earlier about waiting to see if you can get a higher offer by waiting? Unfortunately, from all I've seen, they have gone down, or no other offer came at all. You went back into the lottery drawing or algorithm. My last 3 offers lower than 1k higher, and the last one double the previous. Since last June, when I really started to watch the trends, maybe a handful had a significant increase, that's it. Either the same as before or less. Good luck, and let us know if you don't take it, and you don't mind to say hey wow it went down even more or up. It is your personal information, but it does help others know. Hmm, maybe I better not wait or ok. Let's roll the dice. Good luck to you in whatever way you go! BTW, way to kick some butt this summer and painting like crazy! Definitely, getting it done congrats to that

That is still good. I process more than you and only got a 47k offer. I was happy that the repayment came way down though.

I don’t think they base the offer just on processing. I keep a ton in savings folders. I think it’s based on many things AI

You are correct! They have shareholders to answer to, the market, the economy, the Feds, and interest rates all play into as well. But, all of the above has started to mellow out and maintain pretty steady. The Feds indicated they aren't raising rates, and that makes lenders feel better to open up a little more. Hopefully, offers can come up some and more going out!

Ughhhhh,  with you and your year ordeal, I was screaming with joy just to see you post you got an offer! Unfortunately, it is lower than normal, but honestly, about 90% I've seen have been. Hopefully, things will pick up and offers with the latest news from the Feds. The market isn't crashing but is maintaining pretty steady, and that makes lending companies feel better.

It's all computer generated. If they start asking for information like bank statement or business licenses, then a person is looking at it. After that, I'm not sure if that person determines your loan or back to the algorithm to determine your factors and offer. I'm guessing only I'll take number 2 on that. Anymore offers are tending to be around the same as the last one or lower. Anymore, I'm just happy to see them moving! All the factors outside of sales are starting to Mello, and Feds said they weren't raising rates. Hopefully,  things will pick up and the offers. Way too many 2-3 mths completely paid off and no offer yet? I want to see this board to just light up with offers! Good luck to you and everyone waiting!

Congratulations again and way to go! When I see big box chains closing up and small businesses kicking it, I love it! Sometimes, it's hard for me to see small businesses pushed to the side when, at one point, we were always considered the backbone of America and around the world. I love it and way to gooooooo!

To be honest I have no clue… I thought maybe they were trying to find out sweat spot but I just don’t know anymore… we process every day except Sundays… everything else is good. Had a couple charge backs a whileee back but everything went back green… like I don’t understand and we are way ahead of schedule pay back
