Know what you're signing before you sign it
Factor rates are not interest rates
A “1.3 factor” on a 6-month advance is not 30% APR — the equivalent annualized cost is far higher because you repay the full fee no matter how fast you pay down. Always ask for the total payback amount and the term, then compare.
Speed costs money — decide if it's worth it
24-hour funding exists, and it is priced accordingly. If you can wait two weeks, a line of credit or term loan is usually cheaper. If a broken walk-in freezer is costing you revenue today, fast capital can be the rational choice.
Funding questions, straight answers
How fast can a business actually get funded?
For revenue-based products like merchant cash advances, funding in 24–72 hours after submitting statements is realistic. Term loans and lines of credit typically take a few days to a few weeks; SBA loans take 30–90 days.
Does requesting funding hurt my credit?
The initial request forms we link to do not require a hard credit pull. If you move forward with a specific funder, they may run credit as part of underwriting — you can ask before authorizing anything.
What do funders look at besides credit score?
Monthly revenue (bank deposits), time in business, average daily balances, and NSF/overdraft history matter more than credit score for most working-capital products. Many funders work with scores in the 500s if revenue is steady.
What if most of my revenue comes through card sales?
Ask about card-split or lockbox repayment. Instead of a fixed daily debit, repayment flexes as a percentage of daily card sales — slower days mean smaller payments. It is often available even when fixed-debit products are not.
MerchantDash is not a lender, broker, or financial advisor. We connect business owners with independent funding partners and may receive compensation when a referral results in funding — at no cost to you. Funding amounts, speed, and approval depend on the funder's underwriting of your business.
