Our standard terms and one price are straightforward and transparent. All customers get the same price without a preference for size, name-recognition, or connections.<\/p>\r\n<p>Carta charges two fees:<\/p>\r\n<ol>\r\n<li>An\u00a0annual subscription fee instead of several variable and confusing fees (like facility fees, unused line fees, and fees each time you draw down the loan).<sup>3<\/sup><\/li>\r\n<li>A one-time, fixed $3,000 fee to cover closing costs.<sup>4<\/sup> Because we don\u2019t negotiate terms, our legal closing costs are consistent and predictable.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<p>More importantly, we\u2019re not a bank so we\u2019re not in the business of making money from interest. All capital call loans have an interest rate of PRIME minus 0.75%\u2014our cost of capital. We\u2019re simply passing along our cost of financing.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>We charge a subscription fee to cover servicing costs like same-day fund transfer, account statements, customer service, and our proprietary software.
