Kudo Funding and Kudo Capital: the same company or two?
On the pages reviewed, they are one business under two names. Kudo Funding's terms of use name Kudo Capital, LLC as the company doing business as Kudo Funding. If you see the Kudo Capital name on a contract or bank statement, check that it matches the company in your written offer.
Do not confuse the borrower site with its partner program. The partner page is written for ISOs, brokers and advisors who send client files, so its numbers (such as average time to funding and maximum financing) describe the program rather than a promise to any one borrower.
What Kudo Funding publishes about eligibility
Kudo Funding lists three qualifications: at least one year in business in the U.S., $20,000 or more in gross monthly revenue, and a minimum credit score. The credit figure appears twice and does not match: the eligibility heading says 600+, while the paragraph below it says owners must maintain a score of 500 or above.
If your score sits between 500 and 599, ask Kudo Funding in writing which figure applies before you send documents. A written answer avoids a wasted application and a hard conversation later.
Prime Funding Now takes a different approach: it does not publish a single credit-score cutoff or fixed revenue minimum, and reviews deposits, time in business, credit and the deal itself together. See what funders commonly review.
Funding structure and documents
Kudo Funding's partner page describes revenue-based financing, and its borrower page asks for a driver's license, a voided check and four months of business bank statements. Prime Funding Now reviews a request for several structures, including short-term working capital, a line of credit, equipment financing and term loans, depending on the purchase.
- Revenue-based financing ties repayment to sales and suits businesses with steady deposits. See revenue-based financing for product sellers.
- A one-time inventory or equipment purchase may fit better with a structure matched to when the goods sell. Compare options on which funding fits your business.
Who may fit each company
Kudo Funding's published criteria point to established businesses with at least $20,000 a month in revenue that want revenue-based financing with a short document list. Prime Funding Now fits a product business with a specific purchase and a payment date, for $25,000 or more, that wants the structure matched to the deal.
Neither page tells you whether a particular industry will be approved, so do not rule a company in or out on that basis. Ask directly.
Questions to ask before you sign any offer
Put every offer on the same dollar lines: gross amount, fees withheld, net deposit, total repayment, payment frequency and first payment date. Then ask what happens if sales slow.
- What is the net amount deposited after all fees?
- What is the total repayment, in dollars?
- Are payments daily, weekly or monthly, and when does the first one start?
- Is there a cost or credit for paying early?
- Which legal entity is the funder on the contract?
Use the offer comparison tool to line up two offers, and see the comparison hub for other providers. When you have a purchase with a deadline, apply with Prime Funding Now.
