About The Fund Scope

The Fund Scope covers the US small-business funding industry: merchant cash advance funders, alternative and bank lenders, brokers and ISOs, servicers, syndicators and fintech operators.

We report what changed in the industry, by how much, and what it means for the people who fund and broker deals. Numbers come before narrative, and every figure carries its source and date.

What we publish

• News: launches, lender moves, deals and people moves.
• Regulation: what changed in state and federal rules, and who it affects.
• Data and rates: originations, rates and credit-market data.
• Analysis: how pricing, structure and policy are shifting the industry.
• Playbooks: working guides on underwriting, compliance and operations.
• Weekly Roundup: the week in small-business funding in one read.

Who reads it

The Fund Scope is written for industry insiders. It assumes familiarity with ISOs, factor rates, holdbacks, stacking and renewals. It is not a borrower guide.
