Merchant files matched to what you actually fund

Afterfirst is the broker. We read each full merchant file (statements, true deposits, positions, NSFs, time in business) and match it against your guidelines and the parameters of what you accept. A file goes only to funders whose box it fits. We don’t shotgun files.

Founding Partner: $299 a month, 10 seats, price locked 12 months. Right of first refusal on matched files in your category, plus everything in Featured. Month to month, cancel anytime.

Merchant consent, with Afterfirst as the broker. A file is shared only after the business owner agrees, and only with partners whose box it fits. Our proprietary matching system is being built to run this on every file; today our team reads and matches each one. Your own deals stay yours.

  • Shotgunned files reach every funder at once, so you’re racing before you’ve read the statements.
  • Most files you’re sent don’t fit your box, and your underwriters pay for every decline.
  • Shared leads get resold and recycled before you ever call.

The fix: files read in full before they reach you, matched to your guidelines, from business owners who applied with Afterfirst and agreed to share. Matched files come with Founding Partner, Featured and Premier, and Founding Partners get right of first refusal in their category.

Pay through Stripe and go live right away. Founding Partner $299 a month; other plans from $249 a month.

Questions partners ask

Is there a long-term contract?

No. Every plan is month to month, including Founding Partner, and you can cancel anytime. The Founding Partner price stays locked for 12 months while you stay subscribed.

How does the matching work?

Afterfirst is the broker. We read each full merchant file: bank statements, true deposits, open positions, NSFs and time in business. Then we check it against each partner's guidelines and the parameters of what it accepts, and the file goes only to partners whose box it fits. Our proprietary matching system is being built to run that read and match on every file; today our team does it file by file.

Do you shotgun files?

No. A file goes only to partners whose box it fits, and only after the business owner agrees to share it, with Afterfirst as the broker. Nobody else gets it.

What is the Founding Partner right of first refusal?

When a consented file fits your box in your category, Founding Partners see it before other partners and can make an offer or pass. If you pass, the file can go to other partners whose box it fits. It doesn't promise any number of files.

Afterfirst is a broker. Am I getting leftover files?

No. Partners see consented files we're shopping as the broker and can make an offer like any funder. Your own deals stay yours.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Cancel from your partner dashboard or Stripe’s billing page. Your listing stays up through the month you paid for, and partial months aren’t refunded.

How fast can I go live?

Right away. Create your account, pay for your plan through Stripe, and your listing goes live as soon as the payment is confirmed. Fill in your profile and buy box before or after you pay, and add the state registrations you hold. Listings are for real funding businesses: direct funders, ISOs and brokers that fund or place merchant cash advances or other small-business funding. We may pause or remove a listing with inaccurate information or a registration we can’t verify where the law requires one.

Who sees my profile?

Anyone on afterfirstmca.com. Your profile page is public, and business owners and brokers can find partners by state, position and amount. Featured and Premier add Sponsored spots in front of owners researching funding in the states and industries you fund; Premier also appears in our funding guides.

Do you guarantee leads, files or deals?

No. You pay a monthly plan price, not for leads, files or views, and we don’t promise any number of them. Matched files depend on businesses applying, choosing to share and fitting your box.

Are there other fees?

You pay your monthly plan price, with no setup fees or per-file fees. When a deal funds, the funder also pays Afterfirst a commission, as set out in the funder agreement.

How do the Sponsored spots work?

Wherever owners research funding for a state or an industry, there are two Sponsored spots. Premier takes the top spot, with only 2 Premier partners per state. The other spot rotates daily among Featured partners who fund that state or industry. Every spot is labeled Sponsored.

Do I have to link back to Afterfirst?

No. Your listing, placement and price never depend on a link back.
