What to ask Kabbage (Amex Business Working Capital) 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 Kabbage (Amex Business Working Capital) a direct funder or a broker?
Kabbage (Amex Business Working Capital) 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 Kabbage (Amex Business Working Capital) will fund?
Kabbage (Amex Business Working Capital)'s published floor is $3,000 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 Kabbage (Amex Business Working Capital) fund?

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 Kabbage (Amex Business Working Capital) or through a broker?
