With a people-first approach and a focus on real relationships, Merchant Funding Collective is helping business owners secure the capital they need without the confusion, hassle, or one-size-fits-all roadblocks.
Chicago, IL, August 8, 2025 — Merchant Funding Collective is flipping the script on how small and mid-sized businesses secure growth capital. By focusing on expert financial consulting and relationship-first lending, the company is making it easier than ever for entrepreneurs to get the small manufacturing business funding they need to move forward.
With loan amounts ranging from $5,000 to $5 million and trusted partnerships with over 50 lenders, the lending partners have collectively helped over 10,000 businesses and disbursed over $2 billion in funding. But ask the team what really sets them apart, and you won’t hear numbers; you’ll hear stories from all the satisfied clients they have helped.
“Every business has its own heartbeat,” said Matt Fleeks, Founder and CEO of Merchant Funding Collective. “We’re not just matching people with funding, we’re listening, learning, and creating real financial strategies that support their long-term vision.”
The company specializes in working capital consulting, credit and lending advisory, equipment financing, SBA loans, and one-on-one coaching. Whether a business is expanding to a second location or just trying to cover next month’s payroll, the support is hands-on and tailored to fit.
And that’s precisely the point. Merchant Funding Collective was built around the idea that meaningful guidance can make all the difference, especially for entrepreneurs navigating tough decisions.
“So many of our clients come to us after being told ‘no’ by their bank or confused by online loan platforms,” said one of the consultants at the firm. “They’re discouraged. What we do is slow things down, explain their options, and help them move forward with clarity.”
From restaurants upgrading kitchen equipment to eCommerce businesses scaling up inventory, the funding solutions are as varied as the clients themselves. But what ties it all together is the belief that trust and clear communication should be the foundation of any financial decision.
Business owners can reach out online and connect with a real advisor (not an automated bot) who’s there to help, not sell. The team guides clients through every step, offering clear answers and practical next steps from day one.
“We treat every business like it’s our own,” Fleeks added. “Because at the end of the day, when they grow, we grow too.”
For anyone feeling stuck or unsure where to turn for business capital, Merchant Funding Collective offers a better way, one built on trust, transparency, and a shared goal of success.
