Business Draw Fee Changes Net Proceeds
Reconcile the cash received from a business credit line draw with the balance recorded and any fee withheld, financed or paid separately.
In this guide
Reconcile cash delivered with the amount recorded against the line.
Worked example
A $20,000 draw with a $400 fee deducted delivers $19,600. An invoice for $20,000 still needs $400 from other cash if the fee is withheld.
What to check
Check whether the fee is deducted, charged later or included in the outstanding balance.
Next step
Ask for the disbursement amount and the principal on which interest or other charges are calculated. Use FinToku’s Loan Offer Translator to organize or compare the figures.
Official background: SBA guide to small-business loan programs. The example is illustrative and your written terms determine the applicable figures.
Work back from the supplier amount
A 2% fee withheld from a $20,000 draw leaves $19,600. If a supplier requires $20,000 net, the same percentage treatment would require about $20,408.16 gross draw. Confirm how the fee is charged and whether enough line availability exists. Include interest on the actual drawn balance in the cost comparison.
Confirm these details
- Is the charge withheld or added to debt?
- Does the limit include financed fees?
Keep the quote or statement used for this comparison and verify the posted result against the agreed figures. The example is hypothetical and does not establish approval, a permitted use of funds or an available product.
