How does repayment work
A Driven Small Business Loan is considered a fixed loan, which includes specific terms and conditions that outline your preferred repayment schedule and a fixed interest rate and principal to be paid. These requirements differ from a traditional bank’s small business loan, where repayment is based on a minimum balance, or the interest on outstanding balances only.
They currently offer daily, weekly, and biweekly repayment options.
I needed help with some emergency expenses and was having a hard time getting additional financing. Driven was able to process my application and get money in my account in less than 3 days. The service is fantastic!
Best of the best. Amazing service and so professional. Moustafa Kamal was a real pro and takes care of my business needs.
Highly recommended to everyone
I've been dealing with Driven (used to be Thinking Capital) for years. The service is fast, effective and professional! Never thought borrowing for your business could be so simple. I want to say a big thank you to Cordia who not only makes you feel like your dealing with a friend but she's always quick, helpful and to the point! Thank you Cordia!!!
Excellent service provided by Daniel in Thinking Capital (now Driven). Really happy with the service.
