Company details
Written by the company
Clearco introduced non-dilutive funding to ecommerce and remains its leading provider. Clearco is a capital partner for growing ecommerce brands across DTC, wholesale, retail, and marketplaces. Brands use Clearco funding to purchase inventory, pay suppliers, support always-on marketing, fulfill major purchase orders, prepare for peak seasons, launch new products, and expand into new sales channels. For ecommerce operators, the need for capital often comes down to timing. Inventory may need to be ordered months before it sells. Suppliers often require deposits or payment before products arrive. Wholesale and retail partners can take 30, 60, or 90 days to pay. Marketing spend happens before customer revenue comes back into the business. Clearco is designed to help brands manage those gaps and keep important business priorities moving. Qualifying brands can access up to $10 million in funding with estimated terms of 4 to 12 months. Clearco offers Cash Advance and Invoice Funding, along with Fixed Funding Capacity and Rolling Funding Capacity options, so brands can choose how capital fits into their business and growth plans. Clearco funding includes capped weekly payments, early payment flexibility, no personal guarantees, and no all-asset liens. Its non-dilutive structure allows founders and operators to access capital without giving up ownership in their business. Clearco works with ecommerce brands across apparel, beauty, food and beverage, health and wellness, household products, sports and outdoors, pets, baby and toddler, and consumer electronics. Whether a brand is restocking a bestselling product, placing a larger inventory order, increasing marketing spend, paying a supplier, fulfilling a wholesale purchase order, or expanding into retail, Clearco provides ecommerce funding built around the way modern brands operate. To date, Clearco has provided more than $3.3 billion in funding to over 11,000 businesses. Clearco helps ambitious ecommerce founders and operators put capital behind what is next while maintaining ownership, flexibility, and control.

Beyond happy
Beyond happy. Clearco saved my company twice. Whereas VC invests when things are going well, Clearco invests based on data and fundamentals.
We are looking forward to becoming a profitable company in 2022 while maintaining fast growth thanks to Clearco's leverage.

Think of ClearCo as a business tool
Think of ClearCo as a business tool that will enable your business growth and simplify the finance raising process. It's like fresh air in a room kind of thing.
Things are going so well that our management team signed Round 2 financing to give us much-needed capital going into our peak season of the year.

Clearco has been an excellent resource…
Clearco has been an excellent resource and partner for the past two years. Their team has gone above and beyond anything I could expect, and their dedication to making the job of the founder easier is remarkable.
I have been impressed with the amount of data they are able to leverage for us as a company. The Dashboard they built is a helpful tool that we look at almost every day.
Clearco is an easy company to work with and is a great resource for founders looking to scale their companies. Would recommend.

Invaluble for a first time biz owner
Invaluble for a first time biz owner
The ClearAngel program has been an exciting and definitely eye opening experience for me as a first time business owner. I did not know the potential growth possibilities for my business until I started meeting with my coach and I now have a long term plan in place. Owning my own business has been the hardest (yet most rewarding) job I've ever had, and without the guidance of the Angel program I would not have even tried to scale my business. I would highly recommend them for seasoned and first time biz owners. Access to other founders and events they host gives you no excuse not to learn and grow.

As a bootstrapped company
As a bootstrapped company, hit by pandemic-related challenges, Clearco not only provided the funds we needed to market our way through the storm but also offered to lower our interest rate when we needed help in a cash flow crunch. It's clear to me that borrowing money from innovative entrepreneurs who 'get it' was a good business decision.

Good onboarding
The onboarding process was smooth, i got the funds fairly quickly. However i did spend 2 months chasing the 6% cashback i was owed and they mistakingly withdrew money (though my account was already paid off). All has now been resolved and i was made aware these issues happened due to changeover in staff and poor miscommunication. I have been assured things should be better moving forward.

I run multiple businesses in the US
I run multiple businesses in the US, and I live overseas, and the US banks won't fund me because I do not have an SSN, and the overseas bank wouldn't fund me because I don't have a business there. Clearco funded me in this complex situation while I still own all my companies.

I was skeptical of Clearco at first
I was skeptical of Clearco at first, but these guys are exactly who they said they would be. I love their customer service as they really feel more like a partner than a bank. Our first loan approval came 20 minutes after they sent it in for approval! If you are primarily an online D2C business like Telic, then you likely won't need any other capital source.
