About Us

The Funding Family is a business funding marketplace headquartered in Cedarhurst, NY, helping small business owners across the United States access capital when traditional banks say no. Founded in 2017 and incorporated as The Funding Family LLC in January 2019, we connect entrepreneurs with the right funding — without the runaround, hidden fees, or one-size-fits-all sales pitch that defines too much of this industry.

We are proud to be a BBB Accredited Business with an A+ rating, accredited since April 26, 2021.

Why We Exist

Most small businesses don't get turned down by banks because they're bad businesses — they get turned down because traditional underwriting doesn't account for the realities of running one: seasonal revenue, a shorter operating history, an industry banks consider "risky," or a personal credit score that doesn't reflect how the business is actually performing today.

We started The Funding Family to close that gap — matching business owners with lenders who actually understand their situation, backed by a dedicated funding specialist who explains every option in plain language instead of burying it in fine print.

How The Funding Family Makes Money

We believe you should know exactly how we're paid before you work with us. The Funding Family earns a commission from the lender when a deal is successfully funded — similar to how a mortgage broker is compensated. You never pay an upfront fee for our matching service, our consultations, or the guidance our funding specialists provide. Every cost associated with your actual funding — interest rate, fees, repayment terms — is disclosed to you in writing by the lender before you sign anything.

FamilyScore™: How We Match You With the Right Lender

FamilyScore™ is our proprietary matching system, used across every funding product we offer. Rather than relying on a credit score alone, FamilyScore™ evaluates:

Revenue consistency and bank statement health

Time in business

Industry type and seasonality

The specific factors different lenders in our network weigh most heavily

This lets us match business owners — including those already declined by a bank — with lenders whose underwriting criteria actually fit their situation.
