What to ask JPMorgan Chase Business 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 JPMorgan Chase Business a direct funder or a broker?
JPMorgan Chase Business 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 JPMorgan Chase Business will fund?
JPMorgan Chase Business's published floor is $15,000+ in average monthly revenue, with 24 months minimum time in business. Credit score floor is 680+. These are box minimums — actual approval requires bank statements showing consistent daily deposits and acceptable NSF history.
How fast can JPMorgan Chase Business fund?
JPMorgan Chase Business's public speed quote is Pre-qualification minutes; funding 5 – 60 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 JPMorgan Chase Business 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 JPMorgan Chase Business, 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 JPMorgan Chase Business's biggest weakness vs alternatives?
Strict underwriting — 24+ months operating, clean financials, 680+ credit. Slower than fintech alternatives. Branch-dependent — some products require in-person closing.
