Legal Disclaimers
Full legal disclaimers and regulatory disclosures for RJ Business Funding and Merchant Services.
ITIN Compliance — Business Funding
RJ Business Funding welcomes ITIN-holding business owners. The following disclosures apply to all ITIN-related business funding services:
- No Work Authorization: An ITIN does not provide authorization to work in the United States. It is a tax processing number issued by the IRS for federal tax filing purposes only.
- No Immigration Status Change: An ITIN does not confer, change, or create any inference regarding immigration status.
- Lender Discretion: Not all lenders in our network accept ITINs for business funding applications. ITIN acceptance is at each lending partner's sole discretion.
- Business EIN Separate: A business Employer Identification Number (EIN) is separate from a personal ITIN or SSN. Business entities can obtain an EIN regardless of the owner's tax ID type.
- SBA Loans: Some SBA loan programs have specific eligibility requirements regarding tax identification. ITIN holders should consult with an SBA-approved lender for specific program eligibility.
- ITIN Renewal: ITINs not used on a federal tax return for 3 consecutive years expire. Expired ITINs may affect loan applications.
RJ Business Solutions does not provide immigration legal advice. For immigration-related questions, consult a licensed immigration attorney.
Broker Disclosure

We are a commercial loan broker and marketplace platform that connects businesses with third-party lending institutions. We do not make loans, advances, or financing decisions. All underwriting, approval decisions, rates, terms, and conditions are determined solely by the lending partner.
RJ Business Solutions may receive compensation in the form of broker fees, commissions, origination fee splits, or referral fees from lending partners for successfully connecting borrowers with funding. These fees do not increase the cost to the borrower beyond what the lender would charge directly.
