El proceso

What is the process for obtaining financing?

The process consists of three steps:

1) Complete a simple application with basic information about your business and submit your last 4 bank statements.

2) A Luca representative will contact you to advise you and customize an offer.

3) Accept the offer, sign the contract, and receive the funds directly in your bank account.

How soon can I receive the funds?

Once the process is complete and the contract signed, you can receive the funds in your bank account in less than 24 hours.

What specific documents do I need to submit during the application?

During the application, we'll ask you some basic questions about your business. Upon completion, we'll ask you to upload the last 4 statements from your business bank account for analysis. Once you receive and accept our financing offer, we'll sign a contract to formalize the agreement. The entire process is 100% digital.

Después de tu adelanto

Is it possible to renew or extend the financing once the term has ended?

Yes, it is possible. Once you have paid more than half of your current balance, we can evaluate the possibility of extending your financing or applying for additional capital, provided your payment history has been positive. The longer your payment history with us, the better the terms we can offer you.

Are there penalties for early payments or for canceling financing before the agreed-upon term?

Quite the opposite. There are no penalties for early payment; in fact, if you cancel your financing ahead of schedule, you will end up paying a lower total cost. At Luca, we reward customers who wish to settle their commitment before the agreed-upon term.

What happens if I can't make the agreed-upon payments?

Everyone can face difficulties in business, so if you ever can't make your payments, the best thing to do is contact us. We'll help you reconfigure your payments for a period so you can get your finances in order. Remember, communication with us is key. If you ultimately don't pay, this will affect your company's credit history, which could make it difficult to obtain financing in the future.

Costos y pagos

What is the interest rate or the total cost of financing?

The total cost of financing varies depending on your financial profile, income, and documentation. Once your documents are reviewed, Luca will present you with a clear, personalized proposal outlining the full terms. Advances are offered from $5,000 to $100,000 with repayment terms of 5 to 12 months.

How does this financing affect my personal credit history?

Applying won't affect your personal credit, as Luca does not perform hard inquiries ("hard checks"). Even if you receive the financing, your personal credit score will not be affected.

Do you offer daily payments?

We do not offer daily payments because we believe they can affect our clients' cash flow. We offer financing with payments, initially, twice a week, weekly, or bi-weekly.

Do you offer monthly payments?

Currently, we offer financing with payments made twice a week, weekly, or bi-weekly. Based on the review of your documentation, we will determine which repayment schedule you qualify for.
