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