MCA Funder Accountability Report 2026
BBB grades, complaints and enforcement records for 39 funders and brokersOne table. Every cell traced to a public record, with the date we checked it.
The table lists the Better Business Bureau grade and accreditation status, the complaint count on file, the reason the BBB gives when it lowers a grade, any regulatory or court action we could locate, and whether confession of judgment use appears in the record, for the merchant cash advance funders, revenue-based lenders, brokers and commercial collectors profiled on this site.
Nothing here is our opinion of a company. The grades are the BBB's and the actions are the regulators' and courts' own.

02
How to read it
What each column measures, and what it doesn't.
BBB grade
The Better Business Bureau's letter grade measures how a business handles complaints, its time in business and whether it has paid for accreditation. It does not measure whether customers are happy, which is why an A plus can sit next to a one-star customer review average, and it is not a measure of pricing.
BBB accredited
A paid status the business applies for. Not accredited means only that the company has not applied or has not been approved; several third-party review sites get this wrong in both directions, which is why the date is shown where the profile gives one.
Complaints on file
The BBB's three-year count where our profile records it. Complaints are allegations, not findings.
Reason BBB gives for the grade
When the BBB lowers a grade it states why, usually unanswered complaints or complaint volume. A blank cell means the BBB states no reason, which is what an A plus profile shows.
Regulatory or court record
Enforcement by a state attorney general, the Federal Trade Commission, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau or a state financial regulator, and court records that bear on how the company treats merchants. "None located" means we searched those sources on the checked date and found nothing; it is not a clean bill.
Confession of judgment
Whether the record shows the company using or holding confessions of judgment, a clause that lets a funder enter judgment without a hearing. New York courts stopped entering them against out-of-state merchants in 2019. Brokers, banks and collectors do not use them, shown as not applicable.
Checked
The date the row's figures were read from the sources. Older rows are re-verified first at each refresh.
03
What the table shows in aggregate
Finding 1
The six lowest grades share one explanation
Kapitus F, Reliant Funding C minus, Mantis Funding B minus, Union First Funding B minus, Fundo B and Vader Mountain Capital A minus all carry the same BBB explanation: complaints filed and, in four cases, complaints left unanswered.
Finding 2
The heaviest records sit with two names
Yellowstone Capital and its affiliates, barred from the industry by the January 2025 New York settlement, and Biz2Credit, which carries a 33,000,000 dollar FTC judgment.
Finding 3
Six A+ grades aren't funders at all
Six companies with A plus grades are brokers, a bank or a collection agency rather than funders, and their grades say nothing about the funder your file was placed with.
Finding 4
A clean row is not a recommendation
Everest Business Funding and Vader Mountain Capital are related businesses per the BBB and hold an A plus and an A minus respectively. Libertas Funding and Vox Funding hold A plus grades with accreditations dated 2026, so their complaint files have had months, not years, to accumulate. The aggregate that matters for a merchant is not the grade but what the agreement says about reconciliation, the personal guaranty and any confession of judgment.
04
Method and sources
Every figure is read from the company's headquarters BBB profile, the BBB complaint file, the company's own published pages, state regulator and attorney general publications, the FTC and CFPB enforcement pages and public court dockets (New York State courts, PACER via CourtListener). Where a company has more than one BBB listing, the headquarters listing is used and the branch is noted in the profile.
No figure on this page comes from a third-party review site, a press release or a company's own badge; the Union First Funding row exists partly because a 2026 press release claimed an A plus standing that the live profile did not show.

Business Debt Adjusters. MCA Funder Accountability Report 2026: BBB Grades, Complaints and Enforcement Records for 39 Funders and Brokers. Updated September 24, 2026. /mca-funder-accountability-report-2026/
Free consultation for merchants: BDA reviews the agreement, the debit history and any filings, and tells you what is realistic before you commit to anything.
Is a BBB A plus rating a sign that a merchant cash advance is fair?
No. The grade measures complaint handling, time in business and paid accreditation. It says nothing about the factor rate, the daily debit, the reconciliation clause or the personal guaranty. Several A plus funders on this table have court records of confession-of-judgment use.
Why do some rows say the BBB grade is not recorded?
Our profile of that company was built from regulatory and court records rather than the BBB file, usually because the enforcement record is the story. Those rows are re-verified against the BBB headquarters profile at the next refresh.
How often is this report updated?
Quarterly, oldest rows first, and whenever a regulator or court publishes an action naming a company on the list. Each row shows the date its figures were last read from the sources.
What does confession of judgment mean?
A clause in which a business, and usually its owner, agrees in advance that judgment may be entered against them without notice or a hearing if the funder declares a default. New York courts stopped entering them against out-of-state merchants in August 2019, and several states will not domesticate them.
