MCA Directory Highlights Business Financing Fraud Reporting During Cybersecurity Awareness Month

Oct 19, 2026

The Los Angeles-based platform pairs a searchable directory of verified merchant cash advance funders with a private fraud-reporting form, giving business owners, brokers and funders a way to flag scams and compare underwriting criteria before entering a deal.

Los Angeles, California, October 19, 2026 -- MCA Directory, a centralized platform for the alternative business financing industry, is highlighting its fraud-reporting tools during October 2026, which the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has recognized as Cybersecurity Awareness Month. CISA kicked off the month on October 1, 2026, recommending that organizations recognize and report suspicious emails and links. Based in Los Angeles, California, MCA Directory provides brokers, funders and business owners with a searchable directory of merchant cash advance funders alongside a private fraud-reporting form built to flag suspected scams.


The directory lists each funder's minimum revenue requirements, credit thresholds, position limits, terms and maximum funding amounts in one searchable location, replacing informal methods such as scattered group chats and screenshots. Brokers use MCA Directory to connect with verified funders, who are confirmed to be actively funding, through introductions coordinated by the platform.


A private fraud-reporting channel allows business owners, brokers and funders to flag suspected scams directly to MCA Directory.


"Scams hurt more than just the business owners who lose money. They erode trust in every honest lender and broker in this industry. Platforms like MCA Directory that verify funders and give owners a safe place to report fraud are exactly what this market needs," said Steven Kay of fundivi. Steven Kay is a business funding advisor. Further information on financing options is available through fundivi.


Guides, a glossary and an underwriting calculator published on the MCA Directory website are designed to help business owners understand underwriting terms and compare offers before working with a broker or funder. Funded USA, which is part of MCA Directory, is on Instagram as Funded USA.


About MCA Directory

MCA Directory is a centralized platform for the alternative business financing industry. It replaces scattered group chats and screenshots with a searchable directory of funders and their real underwriting criteria: minimum revenue, credit requirements, position limits, terms and maximum funding. Brokers use it to match deals to the right funder in seconds. Verified funders are hand-vetted, confirmed to be actively funding, and reachable through warm introductions.


The platform also works to make the industry safer. Brokers and funders review each other, and every review requires company emails and supporting documents. A private fraud-reporting form lets business owners, brokers and funders flag scams. Guides, a glossary and an underwriting calculator help business owners make informed decisions and reach qualified lenders through reputable brokers.
