We're a team of business owners. Between us we've raised capital a number of ways — but primarily through the financing tools available to established, revenue-generating businesses: SBA loans, working capital, lines of credit, invoice factoring, equipment financing, and 0% business credit.
Some of it was the smartest money any of us ever took. An advance against inventory that turned in six weeks paid for itself several times over. Some of it we'd undo. The difference was never the product — it was whether it fit the situation the business was actually in.
What struck all of us was how hard the information was to find. That a major bank offers a business card at 0% for a year. That invoice factoring exists as a category at all. That an SBA loan reads more like a mortgage for your company than the ordeal people assume. Nobody hands you a map — and that's true even when you're actively looking. Most owners aren't, because they're busy running a business.
So they take the first offer they're shown. And the first offer is rarely the cheapest one they'd qualify for; it's the one from whoever called first, on the product that pays the caller most.
Fund Match Pros publishes plain guides on every funding option available to an established business, runs a free eligibility checker so you can see where you actually stand, and — if you want to move forward — connects you with a funding partner.
We're paid by that partner when a deal funds, which we say on the how-it-works page in more detail than most sites in this industry would. The reason is simple: the guides only have value if you can trust them, and you can only trust them if you know how we make money.
What you won't find here. Countdown timers, "pre-approved" language, invented urgency, or a promise that everyone qualifies. If the honest answer to your situation is that you shouldn't borrow right now, we'd rather the guide tell you that.
Answer four questions and see which funding options fit your business — and the criteria behind each one.
