Merchant Fund Express works with a network of funders organized across four qualification tiers — with two products available at the top tier — because a 10-year-old company with great credit and a 6-month-old business rebuilding after a rough year need different things. Here's an honest look at where your business likely fits.
Key takeaways
- Time in business, credit, and revenue are what move a file from one tier to another
- One application lets your file get reviewed against all four options
- Applying doesn't commit you to accepting any offer
