The MCA Broker's First 90 Days: A Playbook to Your First Funded Deal

Quick answer: in your first 90 days as an MCA or commercial lending broker, spend days 1-30 setting up the business and lender relationships, days 31-60 building lead flow and starting outreach, and days 61-90 submitting deals and closing your first funded transaction. The brokers who succeed treat it as a sequence, not a scramble.

Most new brokers quit because the first few months feel like chaos with no income. A clear 90-day sequence turns that chaos into momentum. Here is the playbook.

Days 1-30: Build the Foundation

• Set up the business: entity, business bank account, email, phone, and a simple website or profile.
• Get ISO agreements in place with several funders across credit tiers and products.
• Learn the products cold: MCA, term loans, lines of credit, equipment financing, factoring.
• Choose a CRM built for the deal flow so nothing slips once leads start coming.

Days 31-60: Turn On Lead Flow

Now you need prospects. Rather than buying recycled lists, set up continuous lead generation in one or two target verticals, start daily outreach, and refine your pitch with real conversations. Track every contact so you learn what is landing.

Days 61-90: Submit and Close

By now you should have live conversations turning into applications. Collect clean documents, submit to multiple funders, present offers clearly, and push your first deal to funding. Your first funded deal is the hardest; it proves the system works and builds the confidence to scale.

Common First-90-Day Mistakes

• Waiting until everything is perfect before making calls.
• Buying cheap shared leads and burning your energy on dead records.
• Following up once and giving up; most deals close on the 4th to 8th contact.
• Trying to serve every industry instead of focusing where you can win.
