What to ask Accord Business Funding before signing
- "What's the APR-equivalent on this deal?" A funder who can't or won't quote it has something to hide. Required disclosure in five states as of 2026.
- "Is there a prepayment discount?" Some funders charge the full factor regardless of payoff speed. Get the discount in writing before you sign.
- "What's the reconciliation policy if my revenue drops?" The best funders adjust the daily ACH downward when deposits drop. Many won't. Ask in writing.
- "Will you stack on top of an existing position?" Stacking is one of the top reasons MCA merchants default. If a funder accepts second/third position freely, that's a yellow flag for the merchant.
Frequently asked questions
- Is Accord Business Funding a direct funder or a broker?
- Accord Business Funding is a direct funder — they underwrite and deploy capital from their own balance sheet (or institutional credit facility), not by routing your file to other lenders. This matters because direct funders are accountable for the terms they quote.
- What's the minimum revenue Accord Business Funding will fund?
- Accord Business Funding's published floor is Flexible — no published floor in average monthly revenue, with 3 months minimum time in business. Credit score floor is Accepts B/C-paper down to 500. These are box minimums — actual approval requires bank statements showing consistent daily deposits and acceptable NSF history.
- How fast can Accord Business Funding fund?
- Accord Business Funding's public speed quote is Next-day for approved files. In practice, clean files (consistent revenue, no NSFs, no second position) fund at the fast end of that range. Files needing additional documentation, second-position deals, or larger amounts ($250K+) take longer.
- Should I go directly to Accord Business Funding or through a broker?
- Going direct gets you a single quote with no broker commission baked into the factor rate. Going through a broker (like Fundnode) gets you scored against multiple funders, including Accord Business Funding, with full disclosure of how we earn. There's no universal right answer — but if you only want one quote, going direct saves the broker's cut.
- What's Accord Business Funding's biggest weakness vs alternatives?
- MCA only — no LOC or term. Smaller deal cap. Higher factor rates as the trade for accessibility.
