A direct funding conversation rather than a self-service rate table.
National Funding at a glance
National Funding provides working-capital and equipment finance to established businesses. Its published revenue threshold makes it a poor fit for very small firms, despite the six-month operating minimum. The advertised maximum is not a promise of approval. A final offer can be smaller and can use a different payment structure after the provider reviews revenue, credit, industry, state and recent bank activity.

What the financing actually looks like
Direct finance company offering working capital plus equipment financing and leasing.
Pricing is set after underwriting. Working-capital cost should be compared in total dollars, while equipment offers should be compared by rate, fees, term and ownership result.
Working-capital schedules can be frequent. Equipment finance generally uses a longer installment or lease schedule tied to the asset.
Equipment normally secures its own facility. Working-capital agreements may include guarantees or business liens.
National reach is advertised, subject to product, industry and state rules.
National Funding publishes a six-month operating minimum, $250,000 in annual sales and a business bank account for its main working-capital route.
The revenue floor is the first filter
A six-month operating history looks friendly until it is paired with $250,000 in annual sales. That works out to roughly $20,800 a month, well above the revenue of many microbusinesses. Owners below that level should skip the application and look at CDFIs, microloans or a smaller online line rather than stretching revenue figures.
Equipment changes the credit conversation
National Funding advertises equipment finance up to $150,000. A machine, vehicle or fitted asset gives the provider something specific to value, which can support a longer schedule than unsecured working capital. Compare the cash price, financed amount and end-of-term ownership. A low monthly lease can hide an expensive buyout.
Ask for the early-payment math
The company promotes early-payment discounts on some funding. That wording needs a dollar schedule. Request the payoff after one quarter and halfway through the term, then compare it with the original total obligation. The answer shows whether an early sale, insurance payment or strong season actually reduces cost.
Who should keep it on the shortlist?
An established, higher-revenue operation choosing between a short operating facility and asset-specific equipment finance.
A small business below the revenue floor or an owner who wants fully published pricing before an application. That second group should compare a bank, credit union or government-backed route before paying for a shorter online process.
Our view
National Funding covers two needs that should not be blended. Equipment belongs on an equipment term; a temporary operating gap belongs on the working-capital side. No published threshold can predict an individual approval, and no company maximum should set the size of the request.
How to read the offer
Ask for the cash delivered after withheld fees, total dollars repaid, number of payments and payment frequency. Then read the personal guarantee, UCC filing, collateral, default and early-payment sections. If the offer uses a factor, calculate an estimated annualized cost for comparison without pretending that estimate changes the contract into a loan.
Model the payment against the weakest recent revenue month. Leave payroll, sales tax, suppliers and existing debt in the bank forecast. A fast approval can still be the wrong product when automatic withdrawals create another gap before the financed project returns cash.
