Uplyft Capital Launches MCA Affordability Calculator to Improve Transparency for Merchants and Brokers

June 5, 2026
Article by:

MIAMI, FL — Uplyft Capital announced the launch of its Merchant Cash Advance (MCA) Affordability Calculator, a free online tool designed to help merchants and funding professionals better evaluate working capital offers before funding decisions are made.

Available at https://uplyftcapital.com/tools/mca-affordability-calculator, the calculator was developed to address one of the most common challenges in the alternative finance industry: understanding how a proposed funding structure will impact a business’s daily cash flow.

As the MCA industry continues to grow, both merchants and brokers are placing greater emphasis on affordability, sustainability, and long-term client success. While approval speed and funding amounts remain important, many businesses now seek a clearer understanding of how repayment obligations fit within their operating cash flow.

The Uplyft Capital MCA Affordability Calculator allows users to input funding details and evaluate whether a proposed structure aligns with the merchant’s revenue and deposit activity. The tool provides a simple way to estimate payment burden and identify potential affordability concerns before a contract is signed.

“Our goal was to create a practical resource that helps merchants and brokers make more informed decisions,” said Michael Massa, CEO of Uplyft Capital.” The industry performs best when funding is structured responsibly. By giving users greater visibility into affordability, we believe we can help promote healthier outcomes for both merchants and capital providers.”

The calculator was built for a wide range of industry participants, including:

  • Independent sales organizations (ISOs)
  • Funding brokers
  • Direct funders
  • Underwriters
  • Small business owners evaluating capital options

The launch reflects a broader trend across the alternative finance sector toward increased transparency and data-driven funding decisions. Merchant cash advances remain an important source of capital for businesses that may not qualify for traditional bank financing, offering rapid approvals and flexible qualification standards. However, understanding repayment obligations remains critical to ensuring a successful funding experience. Merchant cash advances are designed to provide fast access to working capital and often rely on business performance rather than traditional credit metrics when determining eligibility.

The calculator is available free of charge and can be accessed by merchants, brokers, and industry professionals nationwide.

Cloudsquare Launches CS Broker Danube 7.0: The First Lending Platform to Bring HELOC Workflows to Business Loan Brokers

June 3, 2026
Article by:

Danube 7.0 gives business loan brokers a new product to pitch and sell, bringing home equity-backed business funding, faster lender selection, and a native Figure integration into CS Broker on Salesforce.

– At Cloudsquare, we build AI-first. We build Salesforce-native. And we build for the brokers and lenders who move the market. Today, that means giving business loan brokers a product they have never had before: a structured, end-to-end workflow to offer home equity-backed business funding to their clients.

Cloudsquare announces the release of CS Broker Danube 7.0, introducing the first HELOC workflow purpose-built for business loan brokers inside a Salesforce-native lending platform. With Danube 7.0, brokers can now help business owners leverage the equity in their home to secure business funding, capturing borrower income and property details, matching to lenders, and submitting directly to Figure, all without leaving CS Broker.

This is a new revenue channel for brokers. A business owner who may not qualify for a traditional working capital product could still access funding through the equity in their home. Danube 7.0 gives brokers the workflow, the lender connection, and the operational structure to offer it.

“CS Broker Danube 7.0 gives business loan brokers a product they can immediately start pitching and closing. Home equity-backed business funding has existed, but brokers have never had a structured platform workflow to manage it end to end. We built that. Combined with faster lender selection and a native Figure integration, this release expands what brokers can offer without adding unnecessary complexity to how they operate.”

— Jeffrey Morgenstein, CEO, Cloudsquare


A New Product for Business Loan Brokers: HELOC-Backed Business Funding

CS Broker Danube 7.0 introduces the first HELOC Module designed specifically for the business loan brokering workflow. When a business owner wants to use their home equity to secure business funding, the broker now has a guided, structured place to capture everything needed to move that deal forward.

When a HELOC lender integration is installed, a HELOC Candidate panel appears directly on the Opportunity record in Salesforce. Reps can enter borrower income and property details in a single, organized view, keeping that information tied to the deal and ready for lender review.

For brokers, this means a new product line without a new system. The workflow lives inside CS Broker, alongside every other deal type, giving teams a consistent way to manage HELOC opportunities from intake to submission.

Figure Integration: Connected HELOC Submissions Inside Salesforce

Cloudsquare introduces Figure as the first fully integrated HELOC lender in the CS Broker lender network. Built on top of the new HELOC Module, the Figure integration gives brokers a direct path from data capture to lender submission without leaving Salesforce.

Brokers can capture borrower income and property details inside CS Broker, then submit eligible HELOC opportunities to Figure directly from the platform. The integration keeps borrower data, property information, and submission activity all in one connected workflow, reducing duplicate entry and keeping the deal moving.

Figure is now fully supported and available for teams that are partnered with Figure and want to offer HELOC products through CS Broker.

Faster Lender Search and Bulk Selection

Danube 7.0 also upgrades how brokers navigate and manage their lender network inside CS Broker. Teams working with larger lender lists can now search lenders more quickly, select or deselect all visible results at once, and take advantage of improved bulk-selection behavior that stays consistent whether working individually or across groups.

When you are managing multiple lending partners, product types, and submission strategies simultaneously, cleaner lender selection directly impacts how fast a deal moves. Danube 7.0 removes friction from that process.

Built for Brokers Who Are Ready to Expand

CS Broker Danube 7.0 is built for brokerage teams that want to grow their product portfolio without growing their operational overhead. HELOC-backed business funding is a real opportunity for brokers serving business owners who have equity and need capital. Danube 7.0 gives those brokers the platform infrastructure to act on it.

From a new product type to faster lender workflows to a native lender integration, this release is designed to put more deal-closing capability directly into the hands of the teams using CS Broker every day.
