A quick summary of when to use each tool.
Flat $49/mo, 100% exclusive leads, built-in pipeline dashboard. The highest ROI option if you want inbound deal flow without per-lead costs.
Large inventory of MCA leads. Higher cost ($297–$997/mo), leads are shared. Good fit for brokers with large teams who can work high volume.
Middle ground — some exclusivity, mid-range pricing. Fewer features than FundPipe, but decent quality for the price tier.
Raw data platform — good for building cold call lists, not inbound pipeline. No qualification, no exclusivity. You do all the prospecting work.
Shared leads are sold to multiple brokers simultaneously — typically 3–8 brokers all calling the same merchant within minutes of each other. Exclusive leads go to a single broker only. FundPipe's round-robin system assigns every lead to exactly one broker, so you're never competing for the same deal.
FundPipe generates leads across four product categories: Merchant Cash Advance (MCA), Term Loans, Lines of Credit, and SBA Loans. Leads self-select their funding type during the application — you can see this context before you reach out.
Lead lists (like DataToLeads) are cold data — businesses that match certain criteria but haven't expressed any intent to borrow. FundPipe leads are inbound: business owners who actively completed a multi-step funding application and are ready to talk. The close rate difference is significant.
Every lead receives a 0–100 score across four dimensions: credit range (30 points), monthly revenue (30 points), time in business (20 points), and funding type fit (20 points). Scores of 80+ are "highly qualified," 60–79 are "qualified," and 40–59 are "needs review." This lets you prioritize your outreach instantly.
Yes. FundPipe is month-to-month. No annual contracts, no cancellation fees. You can cancel directly from your dashboard at any time.
Most brokers receive their first lead within 72 hours of signing up, once they're added to the round-robin assignment queue. Lead volume depends on the flow of merchant applications — you'll see all incoming leads in your dashboard in real time.
Exclusive leads. Pre-qualified applicants. Built-in pipeline. No per-lead fees. No long-term contracts. Start getting broker leads today.
