If you wait until you NEED money… you’ll get the worst money.

In the first Stop Working Broke episode of 2026, Chad Murray sits down with his funding partner Mike Farrell (MJF Funding Solutions) to break down how business owners can access revolving 0% APR business credit lines and even $50K–$250K in startup capital (often 12–18 months at 0%) — without getting trapped in predatory loans or merchant cash advances.

They cover how business funding actually works, why banks reject most owners, how smart businesses use “other people’s money,” and how credit can often be improved faster than people think — so you can get positioned to scale, not scramble.

What you’ll learn:
-Why the worst time to get funding is when you “need it”
-How 0% business credit lines work (and why banks offer them)
-The “1% minimum payment” advantage on revolving credit
-How to avoid merchant cash advance traps
-Funding strategies for startups AND established businesses
-Credit repair paths that can make you fundable again

Next step: Apply first (soft pull). If you’re declined, Chad and Mike will help map the credit-fix path so you can get funded the right way.
