Run its reported $3,997 flat fee against its own $50,000 to $150,000 average client outcome and you get roughly $27 to $80 per $1,000 of credit obtained, before you even weigh that against doing it yourself for free. Every card still carries your personal guarantee. **Advertiser Disclosure:** StackEasy does not receive compensation from any card issuer, and this page does not rank, compare, or link to specific credit cards.

[Troy Johnston](/about/troy-johnston) Founder, StackEasy.ai · 11 min read [Reviewed against our editorial policy](/editorial-policy/) · Updated Sep 11, 2026 In This Article - [The Verdict: Is Fund and Grow Worth It](#the-verdict-is-fund-and-grow-worth-it) - [What Fund and Grow Actually Does](#what-fund-and-grow-actually-does) - [How It Compares to Alternatives](#how-it-compares-to-alternatives) - [Fund and Grow Scorecard](#fund-and-grow-scorecard) - [Questions to Ask Before You Buy](#questions-to-ask-before-you-buy) This review is built from Fund and Grow's own published terms, its Better Business Bureau record, and third-party pricing reports, checked September 2026. We have not purchased or completed the program ourselves, so read every dollar figure below as reported, not something we tested firsthand. The one thing we can add that Fund and Grow's own sales page will not: the math on what that fee actually costs you per dollar of credit, worked out below, next to what the same stacking strategy costs when you do it yourself for free. > 🤖 Ask AI > > Want a personalized breakdown? > > [Ask ChatGPT about this →](https://chat.openai.com/?q=Help%20me%20understand%20this%20StackEasy%20article%20and%20how%20it%20applies%20to%20my%20credit%20situation.%0A%0AArticle%3A%20%22Fund%26Grow%20Review%202026%3A%20Costs%2C%20Guarantees%20%26%20Results%22%0ASource%3A%20https%3A%2F%2Fstackeasy.ai%2Fblog%2Ffund-and-grow-review%0AKey%20context%3A%202026%20Fund%26Grow%20review%20covering%20costs%2C%20guarantees%20%26%20real%20results.%20Honest%20assessment%20to%20help%20you%20decide%20if%20it's%20worth%20it%20for%20credit%20stacking.%0A%0APlease%20summarize%20the%20main%20insight%20and%20tell%20me%20what%20action%20I%20should%20take%20based%20on%20my%20own%20credit%20profile.&utm_source=article&utm_medium=ask-ai-button&utm_campaign=fund-and-grow-review) Note - Fund and Grow applies for 0% intro-APR business cards on your behalf under a signed power of attorney. Its own site puts the average client outcome at $50,000 to $150,000 in business credit after the 12-month program, with up to $300,000 or more for applicants who have 700+ personal credit and typically two business partners. - There are two pricing structures, and they are not interchangeable. The flat 12-month plan is reported at $3,997 (third-party reviews; not published on the company's own site). The performance plan is $1 upfront plus 9% of whatever credit gets secured, which crosses $3,997 once you clear about $44,000 in credit, so it's only the cheaper option below that line. - Every card in the stack carries a personal guarantee. Fund and Grow's own site states you're personally liable for the full debt even when an issuer doesn't report it to your personal credit, and a missed payment still can. ## Fund and Grow vs DIY Credit Stacking | Criteria | Fund and Grow (Done-For-You) | DIY Credit Stacking | | --- | --- | --- | | Who files the applications | Fund and Grow, on your behalf (power of attorney) | You do | | Minimum credit score | None to enroll in the 12-month plan; 730+ for the performance plan | Set by each card issuer | | Personal guarantee | Required; you are personally liable (per their site) | Required; same cards, same terms | | Cost | $3,997 flat (third-party reported; payment plans reported running $4,248 to $4,497 all in) or $1 + 9% of funding; the 9% plan only wins below about $44,000 secured | $0 to apply; you keep every dollar | | Coaching and strategy | Dedicated coaching on sequence and approvals | Self-directed | | Target business credit | About $50K to $150K for program completers (company figure) | Depends on your profile | | Money-back guarantee | 60-day, conditional on missing your target credit | Not applicable | | Recurring fees | About $50/mo newsletter, auto-enrolled per third-party reviews | None | ## The Verdict: Is Fund and Grow Worth It Fund and Grow is a real, established company, not a fly-by-night operation. It holds an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and has been accredited since 2013. But it's not for everyone. If you have solid personal credit, want the applications and strategy handled for you, and can spend around $3,997, the service does what it describes: its team applies for 0% intro-APR business cards on your behalf. If you're comfortable doing the research yourself, you can learn the same sequence for free. Here's the number Fund and Grow doesn't publish anywhere: cost per dollar of credit obtained. Take the third-party-reported $3,997 flat fee and divide it by the company's own $50,000-to-$150,000 outcome range, and you get $80 per $1,000 of credit at the low end, $27 per $1,000 at the high end, roughly 2.7% to 8% of what you actually get access to. The $1-plus-9%-of-funding alternative looks cheaper because there's no upfront cost, but run the same division on it: 9% of secured credit passes $3,997 once you clear about $44,000 (that's $3,997 divided by 0.09). Below that line, the performance plan costs less. Above it, the flat plan does, and most of Fund and Grow's own stated outcomes, $50,000 and up, land on the expensive side of that line for the performance plan. At the top of their range, $150,000, the performance plan would run $13,501, more than three times the flat fee. $44,000 credit secured where the 9% plan stops being cheaper than the flat fee Source: StackEasy analysis: crossover point between Fund and Grow's flat-fee and 9%-performance-plan pricing tiers, per Fund and Grow's own stated pricing Flat 12-Month Plan Performance Plan (9%) Cost at $150,000 in Funding $3,997 $13,501 More than three times the flat fee at the top of Fund and Grow's own outcome range. ## What Fund and Grow Actually Does PRO TIP Before you pay for done-for-you help, check whether you need it. The 12-month plan has no minimum score to enroll, but the cheaper performance plan needs a 730-plus score and $10,000 to $20,000 in existing card limits. If you are close on either, a few months of on-time payments and lower utilization can move you into the better-priced option. Here's the mechanism. Fund and Grow's team applies for unsecured business credit cards in your name and entity, targeting cards that carry 0% introductory APR offers from major issuers. The company signs a power of attorney so it can submit the applications on your behalf, and it coaches you on entity setup and the order you apply in. To turn that 0% credit into cash you can actually spend, third-party reviews describe clients running it through bill-pay or balance-transfer services such as Plastiq or Melio, since a business card doesn't hand you cash directly. The personal guarantee covered above applies to every card in the stack, no exceptions. The coaching is where the fee goes. They tell you which cards to apply for first, how long to wait between applications, and what to say if a lender calls to verify your business. That's genuinely useful if you've never stacked business credit before. If you've already worked through a solid guide like our [credit stacking 101 walkthrough](/blog/credit-stacking-101), you'll recognize a lot of the advice. ### Track Your Credit Card Stack StackEasy tracks every card in your stack in one dashboard, balances, due dates, and annual fees, so nothing slips through the cracks while your new Fund and Grow cards come online. Premium adds real-time utilization tracking and missed-rewards detection.

The strategy itself is free to learn. If your budget is tight, start DIY: our [credit stacking programs compared](/blog/credit-stacking-programs-compared) breakdown lines up the paid options side by side, and our [guide on credit stacking for business](/blog/credit-stacking-for-business) shows how owners deploy 0% cards to fund growth. If you want more than card stacking, Credit Suite is a broader option: a business-credit and financing-matching service, not a lender, that layers business-credit building and lender matching on top of stacking. Check creditsuite.com directly for its current Genesis program pricing; published rates for financing-matching services in this space change often and weren't independently reverified for this review. If you'd rather monitor your own business credit, a free tool like Nav aggregates your business credit data and shows cards and loans you may qualify for. The trade-off is simple: you get data and recommendations, but no coaching and no one filing the applications for you. Which path fits depends on how hands-on you want to be, and how much your time is worth.

Send it → ## Fund and Grow Scorecard Overall Score 7/10 Coaching and Curriculum 7/10 The credit stacking mechanics are covered thoroughly and the one-on-one coaching adds value above free resources, though the written curriculum is thinner than standalone paid courses. Support 6/10 A dedicated point of contact handles the applications, the main thing you are paying for, and response times and hand-holding vary by reviewer account. Pricing Transparency 5/10 You have to book a sales call to hear the price since it is not listed on the homepage. Track Record and Reputation 8/10 Founded in 2007 with an A+ BBB rating and accreditation since 2013, a long and verifiable history, though some BBB complaints describe aggressive follow-up calls and disputes over a recurring charge. Business Credit Focus 9/10 Fund and Grow does one thing and stays in its lane, 0% intro-APR business card stacking, rather than selling loans or merchant cash advances. Two things behind those scores are worth knowing before you book the sales call. First, the 5-out-of-10 on Pricing Transparency isn't about the fee itself, it's that you only learn any number by calling; the math above is ours, built from third-party figures, not theirs. Second, on Track Record: Fund and Grow was founded in 2007 by Ari Page, and its BBB accreditation dates to 2013, a longer and more verifiable history than most programs in this space. That history isn't spotless. Some BBB complaints describe aggressive, repeated calls and texts after a lead-gen opt-in, which the company answers by pointing to the consumer's own opt-in through a third-party site, and others dispute a recurring monthly charge. Most of those were resolved with a refund, though not every complainant felt the refund was enough. ## Questions to Ask Before You Buy Before you book the sales call, ask three things. First, which plan applies to you, the flat 12-month membership or the $1-plus-9% performance plan, and what is the exact total cost? Second, confirm the personal guarantee in writing. You will be personally liable for the debt, so understand that before you sign. Third, ask exactly how the 60-day guarantee works. It's conditional on them not obtaining credit for you, and the refund is net of a transaction fee, so get the specifics.

Run the $3,997 fee against your own likely credit range the same way we did above, and go in only if you're fine personally guaranteeing the debt. It's a real, established company, A+ BBB rating, accredited since 2013, and it does what it says. Skip it if your realistic target lands under roughly $44,000 (the performance plan or DIY both beat the flat fee there), if you're comfortable filing the applications yourself since the strategy is free to learn, or if handing a company power of attorney over your applications doesn't sit right with you. ## Frequently Asked Questions **Q: What credit score do I need to qualify for Fund and Grow?** A: It depends on the plan. Fund and Grow's own site advertises no minimum credit score to enroll in the standard 12-month done-for-you plan. The cheaper performance-based option is stricter: third-party reviews report it requires a 730-plus score and $10,000 to $20,000 in existing bank credit-card limits. There's no income or car-loan requirement on either plan. **Q: How much funding can Fund and Grow secure for me?** A: Fund and Grow's own site puts the average client outcome at $50,000 to $150,000 in business credit after the 12-month program. Well-qualified applicants, typically two business partners with personal credit above 700, may reach $300,000 or more per the same source. These are the company's figures, not guarantees; your actual result depends on your credit, existing accounts, and how the applications land. **Q: What are Fund and Grow's pricing options, and which one is cheaper?** A: There are two separate plans. The 12-month done-for-you membership is reported by third-party reviews at $3,997, though the company doesn't publish that figure on its own site. The alternative is a performance plan: $1 upfront plus 9 percent of the funding secured. Do the math before picking one: 9 percent of secured credit passes $3,997 once you clear about $44,000, so the performance plan is only cheaper below that line. Most of Fund and Grow's own stated outcomes land above it. Third-party reviews also report that paying in installments rather than upfront runs higher, roughly $4,248 to $4,497 all in for the same 12-month membership. **Q: Does Fund and Grow offer a refund policy?** A: Yes, but read the conditions. Per the company's site, the 60-day money-back guarantee applies if Fund and Grow does not obtain credit for you at all, not simply less than you hoped for. Third-party reviews describe the refund as net of roughly a 4 percent transaction fee, about $160 based on the reported $3,997 price. It's not an unconditional refund. **Q: Does Fund and Grow require a personal guarantee?** A: Yes. Fund and Grow's own site states that applications require a personal credit check and a [personal guarantee](/blog/ein-only-business-credit-cards/), and that you're personally liable for all the debt, even when an issuer doesn't report it to your personal credit. Late payments will still be reported and can lower your personal credit score. **Q: Is Fund and Grow a legitimate company?** A: Yes. It's been operating since 2007, holds an A+ Better Business Bureau rating, and has been BBB-accredited since 2013. Some BBB complaints describe aggressive follow-up calls after a lead-gen opt-in and disputes over a recurring monthly charge; the company has responded to those on the record. That's a real, verifiable track record, more than most programs in this space can show. ### Sources & Further Reading - [Fund and Grow (official site)](https://www.fundandgrow.com/about), company statements on the program, target funding, and the required personal guarantee, checked August 2026 - [Better Business Bureau: Fund&Grow, Inc.](https://www.bbb.org/us/fl/spring-hill/profile/business-consultant/fundgrow-inc-0653-90123987), A+ rating, accreditation date, and the complaint records cited as fair comment, checked August 2026 - [Consumer Financial Protection Bureau](https://www.consumerfinance.gov/consumer-tools/credit-cards/), federal consumer guidance on credit card APR, fees, billing, and cardholder rights - [CFPB: Credit Reports and Scores](https://www.consumerfinance.gov/consumer-tools/credit-reports-and-scores/), federal resource on how credit scores and reports work and how to improve them - [Federal Reserve (G.19 Consumer Credit)](https://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/g19/current/), official U.S. data on average credit card interest rates and consumer credit Written by Troy Johnston Credit stacking gave Troy an edge, but managing it was chaos.
