Get a capital call line of credit in one day

Why get a capital call line of credit from Carta?

With Carta capital call lines you can expect:

• One price. Everyone gets our best offer. Borrow at PRIME minus 0.75%, plus a $2,000 subscription fee per $1M of facility, and a one-time $3,000 line closing fee.¹
• One day. Complete the loan application, review and accept our standard terms and price, and sign the loan documents in as little as one business day.²
• One provider. Bundle your fund administration and capital call line providers to manage fewer vendors and make your back office more efficient.

How does it work?

Everyone gets our best offer, which includes fair and transparent terms. We’re standardizing all legal documents, so there’s no more back and forth. 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. Carta charges two fees:

1. An annual subscription fee instead of several variable and confusing fees (like facility fees, unused line fees, and fees each time you draw down the loan).³
2. A one-time, fixed $3,000 fee to cover closing costs.⁴ Because we don’t negotiate terms, our legal closing costs are consistent and predictable.

More importantly, we’re not a bank so we’re not in the business of making money from interest. All capital call loans have an interest rate of PRIME minus 0.75%—our cost of capital. We’re simply passing along our cost of financing. We charge a subscription fee to cover servicing costs like same-day fund transfer, account statements, customer service, and our proprietary software. You can request an advance, initiate a payback, and more in the Carta app. To bring you these loans, we’ve partnered with Coastal Community Bank, Member FDIC, a Washington state-chartered bank. You’ll sign the loan agreement with Coastal, who will be your lender. Carta will guide you through the loan application process and provide administrative services and software. Here’s what you can do in-app:
