Merchant Cash Advance

Capital that moves with your sales.

A merchant cash advance is not a loan. It is an advance against your future card and bank deposits, repaid through a set share of sales. Approvals depend on your revenue and cash flow more than your credit score, which makes it a fit for seasonal and fast-moving businesses that need capital quickly.

Frequently asked questions

Is a merchant cash advance a loan?

No. The funder purchases a portion of your future receivables at a discount. You receive the advance up front, and the funder collects its share through daily or weekly remittances from your deposits.

How is the cost calculated?

Advances are priced with a factor rate rather than an interest rate. For example, a $50,000 advance at a 1.30 factor rate means $65,000 is remitted in total. We show the total cost and the expected remittance amount before you sign.

When does an advance make sense, and when does it not?

It works best for a short-term need with a clear return, such as inventory you will sell within a few months. It is usually a poor fit for long-term projects or for covering ongoing losses. If a lower-cost option like a line of credit or term loan fits, we will tell you.

Do I have to change my card processor?

Sometimes. Some advances are collected directly through your card processor. Others are collected by ACH from your bank account, so you can keep your current processor.
