Merchant Cash Advance

Revenue-based capital when your business needs it fast.

A merchant cash advance turns your business's future revenue into working capital today. Approval is based on your revenue — not just your credit. Funding is fast, repayment scales with your sales, and if you have a slower month, your payment scales down with it. That's how MCAs work when they're structured fairly.

  • Funding from $5,000 to $2 million
  • Same-day approval, funded in 24 to 48 hours
  • Approval based on revenue, not credit alone
  • Payments scale with your daily revenue

The Basics

What is a merchant cash advance, exactly?

A merchant cash advance isn't technically a loan. It's a purchase — we buy a portion of your business's future revenue at a discount, and you repay us over time as that revenue comes in. Because it's structured as a purchase rather than a loan, MCAs aren't subject to state usury laws that cap traditional loan interest rates.

Instead of an interest rate, MCAs use a factor rate (usually 1.1 to 1.5) that tells you total repayment. If you receive $50,000 at a 1.3 factor rate, you'll repay $65,000 total. Payments are collected either daily or weekly, usually as a fixed percentage of your business's revenue (the "holdback").

MCAs are best suited for businesses that need capital fast, have steady revenue, and want repayment tied to their cash flow rather than a fixed monthly amount. If your revenue slows, so does your payment. That flexibility is the point.

  • Structured as a purchase of receivables, not a loan
  • Factor rate replaces interest rate — full cost disclosed upfront
  • Daily or weekly payments as a percentage of revenue
  • Slow month? Payment scales with your revenue
Why Businesses Choose MCA

When speed and revenue-based approval matter.

MCA isn't right for every business or every situation. But when speed matters, credit isn't strong, or you want repayment that scales with your revenue — it's often the best fit.

01

Speed to Funding

MCA is the fastest business funding product. Same-day approval on most applications, funded within 24 to 48 hours. Banks can't compete on this timeline.

02

Revenue-Based Approval

Your business's revenue is the primary underwriting factor. Personal credit matters less than it does with traditional loans, which is why businesses with credit challenges often qualify for MCAs.

03

Payments That Scale

Because payments are usually a percentage of daily or weekly revenue, they scale with your business. Slow week? Smaller payment. Big month? Payment adjusts accordingly.

04

No Collateral Required

MCAs are unsecured — no need to put up property, equipment, or personal assets. Your business's future revenue is the collateral, which lets you keep control of your assets.

05

Flexible Use of Funds

Use the capital for anything your business needs — inventory, payroll, marketing, expansion, equipment, or covering seasonal cash flow gaps. No restrictions on use.

06

Renewable at Payoff

Most businesses that use MCAs come back for additional funding as their needs grow. Once you've established a track record with us, renewal funding is often faster and available at better terms.

Do You Qualify?

Straightforward requirements.

MCA qualification is simpler than most business funding products. If you meet these four requirements, you're likely eligible for at least a small advance. Higher revenue and stronger business fundamentals unlock larger amounts and better terms.

Merchant Cash Advance FAQ

Straight answers about MCAs.

MCAs are one of the most misunderstood business funding products. Here are honest answers to the questions we hear most. For our complete FAQ, see our full FAQ page.

See our full FAQ →
What's a factor rate, and how does it compare to interest rate?
A factor rate is a decimal number (usually between 1.1 and 1.5) multiplied by the advance amount to determine total repayment. If you receive $50,000 at a 1.3 factor rate, you'll repay $65,000 total. Unlike interest rates, factor rates don't compound — the total repayment is fixed at the time of funding. This is disclosed upfront so you know the total cost before signing anything.
What's a holdback percentage?
The holdback is the percentage of your daily or weekly revenue that gets automatically deducted for MCA repayment. Common holdback percentages are between 8% and 20% of daily revenue. A higher holdback means faster payoff; a lower holdback means slower payoff but less impact on daily cash flow.
How much can I get with an MCA?
MCA advances typically range from $5,000 to $2,000,000. The exact amount depends on your monthly revenue, time in business, industry, and the strength of your bank statements. As a rough rule of thumb, most businesses can qualify for an advance in the range of 50% to 150% of their average monthly revenue.
Are MCAs expensive compared to bank loans?
Honest answer: yes. MCAs cost more than traditional bank loans because they carry more risk for the funder and provide capital faster and to more businesses. If you can qualify for a bank loan or SBA loan and can wait weeks for funding, that's usually a cheaper option. MCAs make sense when speed matters, credit isn't strong enough for a bank, or you need funding a bank won't provide.
What if my business has a slow month?
Because payments are typically a percentage of revenue rather than a fixed dollar amount, slower revenue means smaller payments. That's the built-in flexibility of an MCA. If your revenue drops significantly, contact us — we sometimes have options to adjust temporarily during genuine slow periods.
Can I pay off my MCA early?
Yes. If you want to pay off your advance ahead of schedule, contact us for a payoff quote. Because MCAs use a fixed factor rate rather than accruing interest, early payoff typically doesn't reduce the total repayment — but it removes the daily holdback from your revenue and frees up cash flow for other uses.
Will an MCA affect my credit score?
Applying with us doesn't require a hard credit pull that affects your score. During underwriting, we may perform a soft credit check for underwriting purposes only. MCA repayment isn't reported to consumer credit bureaus the way traditional loans are, so it doesn't directly impact your personal credit score.
Can I get a second MCA while I still have one active?
Stacking multiple MCAs is possible but not always advisable — multiple daily holdbacks can significantly strain cash flow. If your business's revenue has grown substantially, renewal or refinancing your existing MCA is usually smarter than stacking. Our team can walk through the options.
