What graders are actually looking for
MCA underwriting isn't credit-driven — it's bank-statement-driven. Funders look at the same 5 things across every deal:
- Monthly deposits. $15K+ unlocks meaningful advance sizes. Below $8K, you're capped.
- Average daily balance. $3K+ is the comfort zone. Below $500 means deposits are leaving as fast as they come in.
- NSF (overdraft) days. 0 is ideal. 1-2 is a tier-A concern. 3+ pushes you to tier B at best.
- Negative-balance days. 0 is ideal. 6+ means cash management is broken.
- Deposit count. 8+ per month signals revenue diversity. 1-2 large deposits means concentration risk.
The path to a better grade isn't a one-time fix — it's 3 months of clean activity. If your current statements are C/D, the best next step is usually: lock down NSFs, stop the over-drafting, then re-apply in 60-90 days from a stronger position. You'll get a meaningfully better factor rate for your patience.
What this tool doesn't see: deposit concentration (one customer = 80% of book), MCA-related debits, gambling/risky-industry tags, and other trend signals real underwriters weigh. Use this as a 30-second triage — it's not a substitute for a full underwriting read.
