Verdicts by use case
- Lowest cost for established merchants — Winner: Fundbox. Fundbox is a LOC (line of credit) with APR pricing, typically equating to lower effective cost than Greenbox's MCA factor pricing for qualifying merchants.
- Lower revenue businesses ($8-15K/mo) — Winner: Fundbox. Fundbox accepts $8K/mo revenue vs Greenbox's $15K floor.
- Bad credit acceptance — Winner: Greenbox Capital. Greenbox accepts 500+ credit; Fundbox wants 600+. For sub-600 credit, Greenbox is the only option of the two.
- Industry breadth — Winner: Greenbox Capital. Greenbox funds trucking, construction, hospitality. Fundbox is more selective and won't fund higher-risk verticals.
- Speed — Winner: Tie. Both fund in 1-3 days for clean files.
The honest takeaway
Greenbox Capital and Fundbox solve overlapping but distinct problems. The right choice depends on three things you already know about your business: how fast you need the money, how long you've been operating, and whether the capital need is one-time or recurring.
Frequently asked questions
- Which is cheaper?
- Fundbox if you qualify — LOC APR pricing materially cheaper than MCA factor rates. But Fundbox's 600+ credit + 6+ month TIB excludes many merchants Greenbox serves.
- Can I have both?
- Yes if their use cases don't overlap (e.g., Fundbox LOC for ongoing AR + Greenbox advance for inventory purchase). But Fundbox treats new MCA stacking as a covenant issue.
- Which builds business credit better?
- Fundbox — reports to business credit bureaus. Greenbox MCAs aren't reported to business credit, so they neither help nor hurt your business credit profile.
