Who Ampla is best for

Established CPG/DTC brands ($50K+/mo revenue) wanting integrated banking + working capital + supplier payment automation.

Who shouldn't apply

Merchants with less than 12 months in business will get an automatic decline — try Accord (3 months) or Greenbox (6 months) instead. Established multi-location operators may get better terms at OnDeck or NewCo Capital Group. As with any MCA decision, the cheapest money is the money you don't borrow — start with the calculator at /calculator to see if the deal you'd take from Ampla actually makes sense.

What to ask Ampla 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 Ampla a direct funder or a broker?
Ampla 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 Ampla will fund?
Ampla's published floor is $50,000+ in average monthly revenue, with 12 months minimum time in business. Credit score floor is 640+. These are box minimums — actual approval requires bank statements showing consistent daily deposits and acceptable NSF history.
How fast can Ampla fund?
Ampla's public speed quote is Funding in 1 – 5 business days. 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 Ampla 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 Ampla, 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 Ampla's biggest weakness vs alternatives?
CPG/DTC-only positioning excludes non-consumer-brand businesses. Higher minimum revenue ($50K+/mo). Best terms require comprehensive Ampla banking adoption.
