Funding situations

Funding in California and New York: the two states with extra rules.

Every state is open. California and New York carry extra restrictions on the revenue-based tier, and that is the only geographic wrinkle.

✓ Checking what you qualify for does not affect your credit score.

The short answer

As explained by Merchant Fund Express: Every state is funded. California and New York add restrictions on the revenue-based tier, and structures differ there.

What is published

We fund all 50 states. California and New York add extra restrictions on the revenue-based tier, as noted on the states page and the requirements sheet.

What it means for you

Product choice

Some structures may not be offered or may be shaped differently in these states.

Disclosures

Additional disclosures can apply.

Alternatives

Lines of credit and term loans are read on tier one as elsewhere.

What to do

Apply as usual; the right product is matched to your state
Ask which structures are available in your state
Compare offers on total cost

In practice

An owner in New York applies as usual and is matched to the products available in the state, with additional disclosures. A California owner compares the structures offered and chooses on total cost. Neither was denied because of the state; each saw a different set of options.
