At Merchant Fund Express, we publish the terms and thresholds behind this page so you can check your own numbers before you apply.
A young logistics company is read on broker deposits by name, driver settlement debits and fuel. Consistent deposits across several brokers show diversification, which funders value.
Funding is for businesses that are earning. The published tiers start at six months in business; the strongest tier asks for three years and a 650 FICO. The minimum FICO is 500, and the better your credit, the better your offer.
| Stage | Published |
|---|---|
| Strongest tier (line of credit, term loan) | 3+ years, FICO 650+, $300,000 a year or $25,000 a month average |
| Second tier | Built for files that miss the first tier; published floor from 6 months in business |
| Renewals | 2 years, FICO 550, once 50% of the original balance is repaid |

For a freight or logistics company, the weakness we see most is concentration in one broker whose payment cycle changes.
Possibly at six months in business, with deposits from several payers. Merchant Fund Express shows the exact amount, schedule and total cost in your offer before you sign.
The minimum FICO is 500, and the better your credit, the better your offer. The published tiers use 650, 600 and 550 as product criteria rather than a floor.
