Renewal vs New funding: how to choose.

A renewal extends more funding from the funder who already has your history, often on looser terms.

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

The short version

At Merchant Fund Express, we compare structures on total dollars repaid and the rhythm of payments, and we publish our own terms so you can do the same.

A renewal extends more funding from the funder who already has your history, often on looser terms. New funding starts a fresh agreement, possibly with a different funder.

When each one fits

Renewal fits when you are in good standing and want more capital with less paperwork.
New funding fits when your current terms do not fit or the amount you need is larger.

Compare any offer on total dollars repaid and the rhythm of payments, not on a single rate. Use the factor-rate calculator and how much can I borrow to test your numbers. The minimum FICO is 500, and the better your credit, the better your offer.
