Summary verdict
IBusiness Funding, based in Fort Lauderdale, offers SBA 7(a) loans, USDA loans and business term loans through a platform it says connects applicants with "network lenders" (iBusiness Funding loans). It also sells lending software to banks. Its About page says it launched in 2015, was acquired by Ready Capital Corporation in 2019 and acquired Funding Circle US in 2024 (iBusiness Funding About). BBB lists iBusiness Funding, LLC with an A+ rating, not accredited (BBB).
Paper Grade: B paper
Its SBA 7(a) small loans run $15,000 to $350,000 with a 640 minimum FICO and 10–25 year terms. SBA standard loans require 2+ years in business. Its term loans run $25,000 to $500,000 over 6 months to 5 years (iBusiness Funding loans). A 640 credit floor with SBA and term products puts this at B paper. Paper grade describes the borrower profile this lender targets, not the lender's quality.
Research-Based Reputation Score: 6.0 / 10 (reputation rank: tied #46 of 72 lenders scored, as of October 2, 2026)
How we got there: start at 5.0, then +0.5 for an A+ BBB rating without accreditation, +0.5 because BBB lists the business as started in September 2018 (8 years) (BBB), and +1 because our searches of regulator sites, court records and news coverage turned up no regulator orders or court judgments in which it is a named party. Then −0.5 for a BBB customer-review average of 1/5 from 3 reviews (BBB reviews) and −0.5 for a repeated complaint theme: 2 of its 3 BBB complaints in three years are billing issues (BBB complaints). The total is 6.0.
About the Paper Grade: it reflects only the borrower profile and deal type the lender targets (stated credit, time-in-business and revenue minimums, and product type). It is not a judgment of the lender's quality. A = strong credit (about 625–650+), established businesses, APR-priced loans or lines. B = fair credit (about 600+), short-term or factor-rate products. C = credit about 500–599, younger businesses, MCA or revenue-based, or sales-based platform financing with no credit check. D = minimal credit requirements, very new businesses, stacked positions or high-risk industries. Lawsuits and regulator actions never change the Paper Grade.
About the Research-Based Reputation Score (1–10, half-points): it summarizes public signals and is not the opinion of MCAFax. Every lender starts at 5.0. Points are added for BBB accreditation and an A+ rating, years in business, strong Trustpilot ratings, and a clean record (no regulator orders or court judgments in which the lender itself is a named party). Points are subtracted for a BBB rating of C− or lower (−1), a BBB customer-review average below 2.5/5 (−0.5), recurring complaint themes (−0.5 to −1), and a pending class action (−0.5). Government actions are scored only when the lender itself is a named party: −1 for a settled action not about borrowers, −2 for a regulator consent order with a penalty and no admission, −3 for active enforcement or a final order about borrower treatment, and −5 for an industry ban or court finding of liability. The lowest score, 1.0, is reserved for lenders under an industry ban or a final fraud judgment. Ratings we could not read score zero, and routine collection suits are not scored. Every point applied to this lender is listed above. Ranks are as of the date shown; MCAFax cannot confirm or deny any allegation counted here.
