I keep seeing no-credit-check MCA ads, and my credit score is not great. The ads make it sound like approval is easy as long as the business has deposits. I do have revenue, but it is inconsistent month to month. If they are not focused on my credit score, what are they really looking at?
No-credit-check does not mean no underwriting. MCA funders usually look at bank deposits, average daily balances, negative days, revenue consistency, time in business, existing advances, overdrafts, chargebacks, and whether your cash flow can absorb another daily or weekly payment. Some may still soft-pull credit or review business credit. The risk is that approval can be easier than repayment. Before accepting, calculate the exact daily or weekly payment, how much of gross profit it consumes, and what happens if the next month is weaker than the last one.
