# Desert Rock Capital

> Desert Rock Capital is a licensed Utah consumer lender offering personal, signature, installment, quick, and no-credit-check loans from $100 to $3,000. It is NOT a payday lender. Three Utah locations (Salt Lake City, Orem, St. George) plus an online application serving Utah statewide.

Desert Rock Capital lends to Utah residents with no credit check, not based on credit history. There is no credit check and no collateral required. Loans are repaid in fixed, predictable biweekly payments with no balloon payment and no prepayment penalty. A loan decision typically comes back in about 30 minutes. Approval, loan amount, and funding timing are not guaranteed; a clear decision is. If approved, funds can be ready the same day.

## Markdown versions (for AI crawlers)

Every page has a clean, plain-Markdown twin at the same path with a `.md` suffix — no navigation, scripts, or styling, just the page's content. Fetch the `.md` instead of parsing the HTML. Each HTML page also advertises its twin with `<link rel="alternate" type="text/markdown">` in the head. Examples: `/index.md` (home), `/requirements.md`, `/loan-amounts.md`, `/calculators.md`, `/calculators/personal-loan.md`, `/branches.md`, `/blogs.md`, `/loan-officer.md`, and `/blogs/<slug>.md` for any article.

## Difference from a payday loan

A payday loan is usually due in a single lump sum on the borrower's next payday and is often secured by a post-dated check or pre-authorized debit. Desert Rock Capital does not do this. Its loans are installment loans repaid over multiple pay periods in fixed amounts, with no post-dated check held and no single balloon payment.
