Business funding built around the need in front of you.
Inventory, payroll, equipment, expansion, repairs, marketing, or cash flow all create different conversations. FundMelo helps merchants explore commercial funding paths without forcing every business into the same box.
Merchant cash advance built around business receivables.
A merchant cash advance is generally structured as the purchase of a portion of future business receivables. It may be worth exploring when a merchant values a streamlined commercial review and flexible use of proceeds for legitimate business needs.
Availability, approval, amount, pricing, and terms depend on provider criteria and business qualifications.
Which funding direction fits the moment?
Choose a product to understand the general structure and the kind of business need it may support. This is an educational starting point, not an approval or product recommendation.
A receivables based commercial transaction.
An MCA may be worth exploring when business performance is an important part of the review and the merchant needs capital for a broad legitimate business purpose.
Capital for the operating needs that keep business moving.
Working capital is a broad category that may include different commercial structures. It can support day to day operations, timing gaps, seasonal needs, or planned business activity.
Revolving access for recurring or unpredictable needs.
A business line of credit may allow a qualified merchant to draw against an approved limit, repay, and access available credit again under the provider terms.
Finance the tools that produce, deliver, and grow.
Equipment financing may support the purchase or refinance of machinery, vehicles, technology, medical equipment, restaurant equipment, or other business assets.
For qualified businesses planning a larger or longer term move.
SBA backed loans are made by participating lenders and generally require a more detailed review. They may be worth exploring for qualified businesses with time to complete the process.
Five paths. Different business moments.
No product is automatically the best product. The right conversation depends on purpose, timing, qualifications, cost, and how the business expects to manage the obligation.

What is the business trying to accomplish next?
The use of funds is one of the clearest ways to begin narrowing the conversation. Hover over the cards to pause the movement.
Start broad. Narrow the path. Review the terms.
The goal is not to push every merchant toward the same product. It is to understand the need and explore what may be available through participating providers.
Understand the goal
What amount is being explored, what will it support, and why does the timing matter?
Review the business
Revenue, cash flow, time in business, industry, credit, and existing obligations may shape the available paths.
Explore possible products
Available options depend on provider criteria, documentation, qualifications, and product availability.
Compare before deciding
Review the structure, total cost, payments or remittance, term, guarantees, collateral, and all other terms.
A clearer request begins with clear information.
Exact requirements vary by product and provider. Having the core business information ready can help keep the process organized.
Business basics

Funding purpose
