California compliance stack: CCPA/CPRA grants California consumers (including sole-proprietors acting as "consumers") the right to opt out of sale of their personal information. If your firm is subject to CCPA, you must honor opt-outs and maintain a "Do Not Sell or Share" mechanism. California SB 1235 requires commercial-financing disclosures (APR-equivalent, total payment amount, prepayment terms) for any commercial financing offer to a California business under $500K. California SB 1001 requires AI agents to disclose they are not human upon request. All three frameworks apply simultaneously if you fund, broker, or market to CA business owners.
MCA partner network intake: when a business owner completes a working-capital application with any lender or broker in our partner network, the application record is ingested into the Owner Leads Direct database (subject to the operator's consent as captured in the lender's intake flow). The ingested record includes: owner name, business name, phone, email, revenue band (from the application), and — where the lender collected it — bank-statement summary and EIN. These application-sourced records carry the highest funding-intent signal in the database and command a premium in the individual-pack pricing tier.
