Answers to common questions about securing institutional capital for MCA platforms.
Have other questions? Contact usWhat size MCA platforms do you work with?
We work with platforms from $1M monthly fundings (seeking first facility) to $100M+ (optimizing capital structure). Key factors are data quality, track record, and underwriting discipline.
How do institutional lenders view MCA?
Institutional appetite for MCA has grown but remains selective. Lenders focus on default rates, collection efficiency, regulatory compliance, and whether the platform has clean "true sale" documentation.
What about regulatory concerns?
MCA operates in a complex regulatory environment. We help platforms position appropriately—ensuring proper documentation, state compliance, and structures that address lender concerns about true lender and licensing issues.
What data do lenders require?
Typical requirements include deal-level data with factor rates, funded amounts, payback amounts, payment frequency, vintage performance, collection rates, and default/loss metrics. We help prepare this in institutional format.
How long does it take to close a facility?
First-time facilities typically take 4-6 months. Platforms with existing facilities, strong data, and clean compliance positioning can move faster.
