Frequently Asked Questions
What is a merchant cash advance?
A Merchant Cash Advance is a financing option for small businesses in which some of your business’s future sales are purchased for a lump sum today. It is repaid via a percentage of your future sales.
What does that mean to me?
You can get immediate access to working capital without the strict criteria of a business loan.
What are the benefits of an MCA?
- Lower eligibility requirements. Applicants with poor credit, non-U.S. citizens, businesses with prior defaults or tax liens, and business industries that banks won’t finance are all eligible.
- Less paperwork than a traditional bank loan; we simply need 3-4 months of your business bank statements to get you qualified.
- Quick turnaround time; the application takes less than five minutes to complete, the funding decision is often in 2-3 hours, and funds hit your bank account in as little as as little as 24 hours.
- Flexibility based on how your company is performing. If your sales go down, so do your remittances. We want to ensure that your business still has enough working capital to be successful. Furthermore, we won’t tack on additional fees if the repurchase takes longer than initially anticipated.
