How to Choose a Loan Broker
The right broker saves you time and money. The wrong one costs you both. Here's what to check before you hand over your financial information:
- ✓Ask for references. A good broker can name borrowers who will vouch for them on deals similar to yours.
- ✓Confirm their lender network. Ask which lenders they work with and whether they will submit your file to each one.
- ✓Ask how they get paid. Transparent brokers disclose their fees upfront. Hidden markups are a red flag.
- ✓Check their deal accuracy score. Compare the broker's quoted terms with the final lender documents.
- ✓Check applicable licensing with the relevant regulator, and confirm the broker's legal business identity.

How to vet a broker
Ask for the legal business name, relevant licensing status, recent comparable transactions, and lender references. Confirm compensation, information sharing, and the scope of the broker's work in writing. Directory information is a starting point for these checks.
What is an MCA ISO?
An MCA independent sales organization connects a business seeking a merchant cash advance with a provider and may receive a commission. Before sharing bank statements, ask which providers will receive your information and get the broker's compensation in writing.
Compare the amount advanced, total amount to be repaid, withdrawal schedule, and any reconciliation terms in the actual offers. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau describes MCA as sales-based financing; the contract terms still need careful review.
