Connecticut Commercial Financing Bill Moving Forward

Connecticut’s commercial financing bill is moving its way through the state legislature. See it here.

Like a few other states it applies to merchant cash advances and it includes an APR requirement. While an earlier version of the bill exempted all sales-based financing transactions above $250,000 from the rules, it removed the threshold and made all transactions of all sizes subject to them. Both brokers and funders would be required to register with the Banking Department in order to offer commercial financing to Connecticut-based merchants.
