Overview

Merchant Cash Advances, explained.

A merchant cash advance (MCA) is not a traditional loan. It is the purchase of a portion of your future receivables at a discount. You receive a lump sum up front, and remittance is collected as a small fixed amount or percentage of daily or weekly sales until the agreed amount is satisfied.

Because the structure follows your revenue, MCAs are often accessible to businesses that may not fit conventional bank criteria, strong, consistent card or bank deposits matter more than a perfect credit file.

Cost & terms

How the pricing works.

Merchant cash advances are priced with a factor rate, not an APR. A factor rate is a flat multiplier on the advance, a $50,000 advance at a 1.3 factor means $65,000 of receivables purchased, full stop. There is no compounding.

Because remittance is collected from daily or weekly sales, the effective cost runs higher than bank financing, the trade-off for speed and flexible approval. You will see the full numbers in plain language before you accept anything.

Factor rate
1.1 – 1.5

A flat multiplier on the advance, not compounding interest.

Remittance

Eligibility

Requirements.

What we generally look for before this fits. Have these in hand and things move faster.

At least 6 months in business

Around $10k or more in average monthly revenue

An active business bank account

Consistent daily or weekly card sales or deposits

Cost & speed

What it costs and how fast it moves.

Honest ranges, not a quote. Actual terms vary by funder and underwriting.

A merchant cash advance is priced with a factor rate, not an interest rate, commonly about 1.1 to 1.5. A $50,000 advance at a 1.40 factor means $70,000 of receivables purchased, a flat figure with no compounding. Expressed as an APR-equivalent for comparison only, that cost runs well above a bank loan, which is the trade-off for speed and revenue-based approval. Actual terms vary by funder and underwriting.

Typical speed
How fast

Funding can reach your account in as little as 24 hours once your information is reviewed and an offer is accepted.

Paperwork

Documents you may need.

Gathering these up front keeps your review quick and clean.

Three to six months of business bank statements

A government-issued photo ID

A voided business check or your bank details

Basic business information such as EIN and entity type

Recent card-processing statements, if you accept cards

Underwriting

What affects approval.

The factors that carry the most weight when your file is reviewed.

Average monthly revenue and the consistency of your deposits

How long the business has been operating

Average daily bank balance and number of negative days

Industry and the stability of your sales

Any existing advances or daily remittances already in place

Credit is considered but is not the deciding factor

Straight talk

Risks to weigh.

No hype. Here is what to think hard about before you commit.

What to weigh

  • The total cost, shown as an APR-equivalent for comparison only, is higher than bank financing
  • A fixed daily or weekly remittance pulls from cash flow every business day, which can squeeze a slow week
  • Stacking a second or third advance on top compounds the daily drain quickly and is a common path into trouble
  • It is built for short-term needs, not as long-term or recurring debt

Questions

Merchant Cash Advances FAQ.

Still have a question? A specialist can usually answer the same business day.

Start a review
Is an MCA a loan?
No. An MCA is the purchase of a portion of your future revenue at a discount, so it is structured as a sale of receivables rather than a loan. We will walk you through exactly how the numbers work before you commit.
How fast can I get funded?
Many merchant cash advances fund in as little as 24 hours once your information is reviewed and an offer is accepted. Timing depends on documentation and your business profile.
What do you look at to qualify me?
Primarily your recent revenue and deposit consistency, time in business, and industry. Credit is considered but is not the only factor.
How is repayment collected?
Through a fixed daily or weekly remittance, often tied to a percentage of sales. You will see the schedule clearly before accepting.
Will applying affect my credit?
Starting a review does not involve a hard credit pull. Any later step that requires one will be disclosed to you first.
