If you’re in the merchant cash advance space, you already know how fast things move. One minute you’re reviewing a new file, the next you’re following up with a merchant or chasing a submission that’s gone quiet.
More and more MCA brokers and funders are saying no, and that’s exactly why outsourcing their underwriting work has gone from a nice-to-have to a necessity.
When a merchant applies for funding, they’re usually not waiting around for just one offer. If your team takes too long to respond, another funder could easily step in and take the deal.
Outsourcing underwriting to a dedicated team means files get reviewed quicker—sometimes even within the hour. That kind of speed? It can make or break a deal.
Let’s be honest—when you’re juggling multiple submissions, it’s easy to miss things. A strange withdrawal pattern, a recent chargeback, or a flagged bank statement might slip through.
That’s where an experienced outsourced underwriter makes a difference. They spot red flags because that’s all they focus on. It’s not a side task—it’s the main one.
You might think, “Why not just hire another in-house underwriter?” Well, you could—but that comes with its own set of headaches: salaries, training, turnover, and overhead.
With outsourcing, you can scale up or down depending on your deal volume. You’re only paying for what you use, not holding payroll for someone sitting idle between files.
Underwriting is crucial—but it’s not what brings new deals in the door. Brokers and funders who outsource free themselves up to do what they do best: network, sell, and build relationships.
You don’t want your top salesperson stuck reading PDFs all day, right?
A solid outsourced partner isn’t just any virtual assistant—they’re trained in MCA workflows. They understand cash flow analysis, deal stacking, renewals, and risk categories.
You don’t have to teach them what “NSF” means or how to calculate average daily balances—they already know.
At the end of the day, outsourcing underwriting isn’t about cutting corners. It’s about building a smarter, more agile operation that can move with the market—and move fast.
If you’re feeling the weight of back-end tasks, maybe it’s time to hand some of that weight off—to someone who knows how to carry it.
