Announcing Early Payment Option: Giving Founders More Control in a Volatile Market

With the trade war between the U.S. and China escalating unpredictably, macroeconomic uncertainty has become the norm—not the exception. For founders and operators, this makes long-term planning harder and the need for flexibility greater than ever.

At Clearco, we believe your funding partner should adapt to you and the challenges you face—not the other way around.

That’s why we’re launching a powerful new feature for our Invoice Funding and Cash Advance products: Early Payment Option.

What Is Early Payment Option?

Strong businesses deserve more flexibility, not more restrictions. With Clearco’s Early Payment Option, eligible brands can enjoy prorated fees and no penalties for paying early.

Early Payment is completely optional for eligible businesses and there are no additional charges for choosing flexibility. You only incur cost while the capital is actively supporting your business.

How It Works: 

Early Payment Option gives eligible Clearco customers more control over their Invoice Funding or Cash Advance advances, but it’s important to follow the right process.

To receive a prorated cost adjustment, customers must first reach out to their Clearco representative or email [email protected] and specifically request the "Early Payment Option" so our team will then guide you through the process.

In Practice:

Say you receive funding with a 5% fee and pay it off halfway through a 6-month estimated term, you would pay approximately half the fee, which is 2.5%. The unused portion is credited back automatically.

It’s a simple way to keep capital working on your terms, especially when timing matters—whether you’re navigating shifting tariffs, adjusting marketing plans, or managing production cycles.

Why Liquidity Flexibility Matters Right Now

In periods of market dislocation and volatility, having sufficient liquidity—and the flexibility to quickly adjust strategy—is everything. Whether it’s ramping up inventory to get ahead of tariff shifts or leaning into paid media as ad markets fluctuate, timing is leverage.

Early Payment Option launches June 9, 2025, giving you the confidence to move fast without being tied to funding terms that no longer serve your strategy.

We’re not building for a predictable world. We’re building for the reality founders face every day—a market that moves fast, and demands even faster decisions.

Early Payment Option reflects that mindset: flexible, founder-first, and built for change.
