Funding situations

Funding with an IRS payment plan: a plan being paid is a plan under control.

A payment plan is a recurring debit, not a bar. The point is that it is current.

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

The short answer

At Merchant Fund Express, here is the short answer: An installment agreement is a recurring debit. Being current is what matters, and the paperwork should be ready.

How it reads

An installment agreement shows a business with a known obligation and a plan to meet it. On-time payments are visible on statements as a recurring debit.

In practice

An owner on a $1,400 monthly plan shows six on-time payments on her statements and the agreement letter. The reviewer treats it as a modest debit. A second owner, behind on the plan, had to catch up before the file could be read.
