Which one is right for a single-location restaurant?

Depends on revenue. Above $100K/mo, NewCo's pricing usually wins. Below that, NewCo's revenue floor disqualifies you — Accord or Greenbox become the right path.

Can a merchant work with both?

In principle yes (different markets, different paper grades). In practice, most merchants pick one based on their tier. If your file fits NewCo cleanly, take it — they won't fund alongside Accord typically.

Which one has better factor rates?

NewCo, generally — but only if you qualify for them. NewCo's higher minimums select for lower-risk merchants who get tighter pricing. Accord serves higher-risk merchants at higher factor rates.

Verdicts by use case

A-paper merchants ($100K+/mo) — Winner: NewCo Capital Group. NewCo's $100K/mo revenue floor signals an A-paper book with tighter pricing. Accord doesn't target this tier.
B/C-paper merchants — Winner: Accord Business Funding. Accord specifically underwrites paper NewCo declines — recent NSFs, irregular revenue, low credit, second/third position.
Newest businesses (3-6 months) — Winner: Accord Business Funding. Accord's 3-month TIB floor is reachable for new businesses. NewCo requires 12+ months.
Renewal economics — Winner: Accord Business Funding. Accord pays 100% commission on renewals (rare in the market). NewCo's renewal economics aren't publicly stated.
Larger deal sizes — Winner: NewCo Capital Group. NewCo caps at $500K. Accord caps at $150K.

The honest takeaway

NewCo Capital Group and Accord Business Funding 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.
