You cannot protect what you cannot see
When submissions happen through scattered inboxes, there is no reliable record of which lender received the file first, which rep owned the relationship, or what happened after the send.
Deal Protection
MCA Backdoor Deal Prevention
Starts With Better Tracking.
Big Tuna gives brokers and funding companies a clear submission trail so management can see where files went, who handled them, how partners responded, and where suspicious activity needs attention.
Timestamped lender submission history
Deal ownership and user activity tracking
Partner response and status visibility
Reporting built around exceptions and missing outcomes
Create a defensible submission trail
Centralized timestamps, recipients, package details, responses, and user activity give management the evidence needed to investigate a disputed or missing deal.
Use reporting to catch patterns early
One unusual result may be noise. Repeated missing responses, unexplained status changes, or inconsistent lender activity can reveal a pattern before it becomes a larger annual loss.
Workflow
Protect the deal from first send to final outcome.
1
Record ownership and package details
Tie the merchant, rep, documents, requested terms, and submission-ready package to one deal record.
2
Track every destination
Log where and when the file was sent, the method used, partner responses, and all follow-up activity.
3
Review exceptions
Use dashboards and reports to find unresolved deals, unusual outcomes, and activity that does not match the expected workflow.
Questions
Straight answers for funding teams.
What is a backdoor deal in MCA?
A backdoor deal generally refers to a merchant being funded outside the broker or expected referral path after the broker submitted or introduced the opportunity.
Can software completely prevent backdoor deals?
No software can guarantee prevention, but a complete submission trail, user activity, lender responses, and exception reporting can reduce blind spots and help teams act earlier.
Does Big Tuna track who received each deal?
Yes. Submission workflows can record recipients, timestamps, status changes, responses, and related activity on the deal.
