Please Read These Terms Carefully

These Business Financing Connection Services Terms and Conditions ("Terms and Conditions" or "Agreement") are applicable in connection with any business funding inquiry, application, or request for financing information ("Request for Business Financing") submitted by or on behalf of any business entity through BizBee Funding, LLC's digital platform and associated services.

1. Business Financing Connection Services and Platform Operations

BizBee Funding operates as a comprehensive business financing connection platform and information services provider that facilitates connections between business entities seeking various forms of commercial financing and a network of qualified funding providers, financial institutions, alternative lenders, and commercial finance companies (collectively, "Funding Partners" or "Partners"). Our platform provides sophisticated matching algorithms, financial analysis tools, and comprehensive application processing services designed to optimize funding opportunities for our clients.
