Merchant Cash Advance

What is a Merchant Cash Advance

A merchant cash advance, also known as a business cash advance, is basically an agreement by a borrower to sell a percentage of future sales receivables at a slight discount for an up-front bulk cash payment. Most lenders require that you accept credit cards and the agreed upon percentage is deducted automatically from each future sale. This can be very advantageous for borrowers because there isn’t a monthly bulk payment. If the business experiences a slow cycle then the amount being repaid on the advance at the time also decreases. This removes the stress involved with having to make payments during slow business cycles. Also, all the payments are completed electronically so there is very little effort required with the payback process as there is with standard invoices mailed or checks written.

Merchant Cash Advances Without Credit Card Processing

Being a leader in the business financing industry we also feature various business funding options for companies that do not process credit cards. The process is very similar to the above mentioned, however, instead of receiving the payments via the credit card processor we establish a program where a portion of the revenues are deposited. It is very convenient for business owners who receive the bulk of their revenues through different payment methods. We will continue to develop innovative funding solutions to ensure that our clients always have access to working capital.

If you have been denied a business loan because of bad credit or you fail to meet traditional financing credit requirements our merchant cash advance program can be a great alternative.
