About Windwood Funding Group
Is Windwood Funding Group the lender?
No. Windwood Funding Group is a broker, not a lender, whatever the words Funding Group suggest.
Where is the business?

Which towns near Fayetteville, AR do you work with?

No. Only business funding. We also do not take agriculture or trucking requests.
Choosing funding
Where do I start if I do not know which product I need?
Start with the bill and where repayment comes from. The six-way comparison sets the structures side by side.
Can I pay myself out of a business loan as an Arkansas owner?
Money raised for the business has to be spent on the business. A reasonable salary run through payroll is normally a business expense, but many agreements restrict owner distributions. Ask the partner before using funds that way.
Should I take a personal loan for my Arkansas business?
Some owners do early on, but it puts personal credit directly behind business risk and does nothing to build a business credit history. Compare business structures first.
Is a merchant cash advance a loan?
No. A merchant cash advance is not a loan; a funder buys part of your future receipts. Holdbacks and factor rates are covered on the advance page.
Applying
Can an Arkansas LLC get a business loan?
Yes; Arkansas LLCs apply for business funding all the time. Partners usually ask for formation documents, bank statements in the LLC's name and the owners' details, and many ask the owners for a personal guarantee.
What will the Windwood request form ask me?
Your full name, phone, email and business name, plus three drop-down ranges: time in business, annual revenue and the amount you want. Then a consent checkbox. There is no box for a Social Security number, bank statements or documents, and we ask about the purpose when we call.
Will a request affect my credit?
Credit may be pulled by the partner while it reviews the file. Before you authorize a check, ask the partner whether it is a soft or hard inquiry.
Can Windwood tell me if I will be approved?
No. Each partner applies its own yardstick. How a request works shows where the decision happens.
Arkansas and local questions
Where are the Arkansas guides?
The resources page collects the Arkansas loan checklist, notes on Fayetteville, AR and Northwest Arkansas city business licenses, a list of free local help and a restaurant loan payment calculator.
Does Fayetteville, AR require a city business license?
Check with the City of Fayetteville directly; its official website is accessfayetteville.org. We do not give legal answers on licensing.
