What Makes Multiply Capital Stand Out to SMEs

Unlike other online lenders that are typically P2P or crowdfunding lenders, Multiply Capital is a subsidiary of IFS Capital Limited group. Because of this, they fully own the capital they lend and are thus able to to quickly process and disburse loans at a reasonable price. They offer several types of financing options, including a working capital loan, invoice financing and factoring, and a joint-Singaporean government loan. SMEs looking to borrow money should compare Multiply's two products based on how much they need, what they're willing to pay in interest and the time frame they plan to pay the loan back.

Their primary SME loan, the x-Loan, boasts some of the lowest interest rates for SMEs in the market. Interest rates are as low as 0.59%-1.5% per month, compared to other firms who charge 0.80% - 5% monthly or 7.75%-18% per annum. Within three days, you can be lent up to S$50,000 for 12 months or less, making x-Loan a strong choice for companies looking to fund short-term projects or daily operations.

Besides taking out a business loan, customers can use Multiply Capital's x-Invoice platform, which gives companies an early payment on outstanding invoices. With a flat fee starting at 1%, which is lower than most online lenders, you will be returned up to 90% of your invoice value, up to S$100,000 for 3 months. This financing option allows you to focus on growing the business rather than chasing up on payments.

Other Charges and Fees

Like most lending institutions, Multiply Capital charges a processing fee to take out the loan. For their x-Loan, it costs 1% of the amount you intend to borrow; for the x-Invoice, it is 0.7% of the invoice. With all their products, furthermore, Multiply Capital offers flexible weekly or monthly repayment schedules where you can pay back more than the sum required at no extra cost. Paying back is easy too, as you can quickly do a bank transfer or GIRO for weekly or monthly payments.

Who Can Borrow: Eligibility Criteria

To apply for the x-Loan, your firm must have at least one year of operating history. For the x-Invoice, however, the requirement is less—at 6 months.

Since there is no collateral or business history collected, this loan is a good option for fairly new SMEs. Multiply Capital will consider both the economic history of your company and its projected growth, meaning they can lend your business money if you are currently making a loss but show a promising future. Moreover, businesses can take out a loan from Multiply Capital whilst having other other loans from different providers. Overall, they will assess your firm's credit score and potential growth prior to making a final decision.
