Apply Now (305) 384-8391Montana is home to roughly fmt(125000) registered small businesses serving a population of fmt(1120000). From Billings, Missoula, Great Falls, Bozeman, Helena to rural communities across the state, Montana small business owners face the same challenge: traditional bank financing is slow, restrictive, and turns down most applicants under $500K.
Merchant Fund Express provides Montana businesses with access to capital that banks don’t. Our underwriters focus on revenue and cash flow — three months of bank statements — instead of two years of tax returns and 680+ FICO. We’ve funded Montana restaurants, contractors, medical practices, trucking companies, retailers, and service businesses across every county.
For Montana businesses, this means same-day decisions when paperwork is clean, funding in your account within 1–3 business days, and capital structured to fit how small businesses actually run — daily or weekly micro-payments instead of crushing monthly debt service.
Real human underwriters review every Montana file the same day it’s submitted with complete bank statements.
Revenue and cash flow matter more than credit score. We’ve funded Montana operators with 520 FICOs.
Personal guarantee only on most working capital and MCA approvals for Montana businesses.
Montana files routed to underwriters who specialize in your specific industry — restaurant, trucking, construction, medical, etc.
Three months of bank statements is all most Montana files need. No two-year tax return requirement.
See your offers without impacting your credit. We only hard-pull when you accept the terms.

Bank declines are common — approximately 82% of small business loans under $500K are declined nationally. Our underwriting differs: we approve based on bank statements (deposit consistency, average balance, NSF history) rather than tax-return-heavy criteria. Most of our Montana approvals come after a bank decline.
