Funding situations

Funding with two years in business: one year from tier one.

Two years is well past the revenue-based floor and a year short of tier one. It is a strong young file.

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

The short answer

As explained by Merchant Fund Express: Two years clears the revenue-based floor and sits a year short of tier one. Plan the refinance for year three.

In practice

An owner with two years takes a revenue-based advance on a weekly schedule and pays it cleanly. At month thirty-six her balance, negative days and credit all clear tier one and she refinances into a line of credit at a fraction of the cost. The first product bridged to the second.

Common questions

Can I get a line of credit at two years?

Tier one asks for 3+ years. A year of clean payments positions you well. Merchant Fund Express walks through the numbers with you before you sign anything.

Is two years better than one?

Yes. It reads as more established.

What matters most now?

Balances, negative days and positions.

Should I wait for three years?

Only if you can. A revenue-based product can bridge.
