Broker

An intermediary that connects a business to funders without lending its own money.

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

What it means

As explained by Merchant Fund Express: An intermediary that connects a business to funders without lending its own money.

A broker or marketplace collects your application and shows it to funders whose guidelines fit your file, then helps compare offers.

Why it matters when you apply

A marketplace can save time by reaching several funders with one application. The funder, not the broker, sets the final terms.
