# Revenue Based funding

> Who qualifies for MCA and BLOC, how the estimate works, which lending partner gets the file, and how to finish the Revenue Based workflow.

# Revenue Based funding

Revenue Based funding covers a **Merchant Cash Advance (MCA)** and a **Business Line of
Credit (BLOC)**. The money comes from a lending partner, not from your client's personal
credit cards or term loans. The partner pays you a referral fee, so there is no client
invoice on this path.

> [!NOTE]
>
> SBA loans are not offered yet. An SBA product never appears in **Product Decisions**, and the Revenue Based estimate never includes one.

## Who qualifies

Underwriting checks each product on its own. A client can qualify for MCA, BLOC, both, or
neither.

| Product | Credit score | Monthly business revenue | Time in business |
| - | - | - | - |
| MCA | 600 or higher | $50,000 or more at a score of 600–639; $20,000 or more at 640 and up | 6 months or more |
| BLOC | 660 or higher | \$20,000 or more | 2 years or more |

## The estimate

Open the client's **Product Decisions** panel and click **Add Annual Revenue**. Enter the
business's exact annual revenue and click **Save Annual Revenue**. Saving re-runs
underwriting with that number.

The estimate is **8–12% of annual revenue**. For $600,000 a year, that is $48,000 to
\$72,000. The same range shows on MCA and on BLOC, and **Total Estimated Funding** counts it
once, not once per product. SBA never gets an estimate. Without annual revenue on file, the
Revenue Based products show no dollar estimate.

## Start the workflow

In **Product Decisions**, select MCA, BLOC, or both, and confirm. The Revenue Based workflow
then appears on the client's **Funding** tab. It has four steps.

### 1. Review & approve underwriting

This step checks itself off when underwriting is approved.

### 2. Send doc upload link to client

Click **Send Upload Link**. The link asks the client for the last 4 months of business bank
statements, which is what both lending partners need. See
[Document upload links](https://docs.myfundingmachine.com/operators/funding/document-upload-links.md).

### 3. Submit file to lending partner

Click **Open Submission**. The dialog shows the one partner this file goes to.

**Which partner gets the file.** The split is monthly revenue:

* **Under \$75,000 a month** goes to [Lexington Capital](https://docs.myfundingmachine.com/operators/funding/lexington-capital.md).
* **\$75,000 a month or more** goes to [Sandbar Fund](https://docs.myfundingmachine.com/operators/funding/sandbar-fund.md).

The app uses the revenue band from the client's business questionnaire first, then the
**Avg Monthly Revenue** on the client's record. When neither settles it (for example,
the record says $50,000–$100,000), the dialog asks **Is the business's monthly revenue
\$75,000 or more?** Confirm with your client and pick an answer.

**One-time setup.** The first time you send a file to a partner, the dialog asks you to
sign up with that partner and paste your client application link. You do this once per
partner. You can change it later under **Settings → Lender Integrations**. Each partner's
page explains where to find the link.

**Send the file.** After setup, the dialog shows:

* **How to submit**: that partner's instructions.
* **Deal package**: the last 4 months of business bank statements.
* **Client application link**: click **Email application link to client**, or copy the link
  and send it yourself.

Tick the box that says you sent the link and the deal package, then click
**Mark Submitted & Complete Step**. The step can only be completed from this dialog. From
here the partner works the file with your client.

### 4. Record commission payment received

When the partner pays your referral fee, click **Log Payment**.

## Record the commission

This app does not record the payment for you. Record it in the CRM:

1. In the CRM's **Payments** area, create an invoice for the partner's referral payment.
2. Record it as a manual payment, so it shows as paid.
3. Note the CRM transaction reference and which partner paid.

Then click **Mark Recorded** in the **Record commission payment** dialog. That only checks
off the workflow step.

## Record the outcome on the Funding tab

The workflow tracks your steps, not the deal's result. To show what the partner approved,
open the client's **Funding** tab and use the **MCA** or **BLOC** section of the funding
plan:

1. Click **Add** in the matching section.
2. Enter the lender and the amount.
3. Set the status as the deal moves: **Not Started**, **In Progress**, **Applied**,
   **Approved**, **Declined**, or **Completed**.

Approved amounts count toward **Total Funded**. See
[Funded breakdown](https://docs.myfundingmachine.com/operators/funding/funded-breakdown.md).
