KEY PROVISIONS

What SB 345 requires

Standardized disclosure

Covered providers are expected to deliver a standardized pre-contract disclosure summarizing funded amount, total repayment, fees, and cadence.

Plain-language terms

Financing terms are to be presented in plain, easy-to-read language so small business owners can evaluate offers without legal help.

APR-style comparison metric

Consistent with peer states, an annualized cost metric is expected so Kansas borrowers can compare MCA offers on a common basis.

Prepayment and reconciliation transparency

Any prepayment terms, reconciliation rights, and collection methods should be disclosed upfront rather than buried in the contract.

PENALTIES

What happens if a provider doesn't comply?

Specific penalty amounts are not detailed in the extraction on file. Borrowers and providers should confirm civil penalty and enforcement provisions against the enacted bill.
