As a funder, we screen all of our brokers before signing them up. But the same should go both ways. As brokers, ask questions, don't submit anything until you've read over their ISO Agreement and it's fully executed. Please exercise caution in not only who is funding your file, but who gets to see your merchants' personal and financial information. I get people asking to send me deals all the time before screening, but I tell them to sign an agreement before doing so, for my protection and yours. I know everyone's obsessed with speed and turnaround in this industry, but sometimes you need to hold your horses just a little bit and act more prudently. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
