Do I have to get a new credit card terminal?
Very rarely. All you have to do is re-program your terminal, which takes only 10 minutes and it can be done over the phone. We will take care of this entire conversion process for you so as not to disrupt your processing.
Do I have to switch my current credit card processor?
Yes. You must switch to us to receive funding. We will meet or beat your current credit card processing rates. Most often times, our clients save money on processing when they switch.
Can the advance be renewed?
When the advance balance is down to approximately 20% of the original balance, the borrower can request it. As a matter of fact, most of our customers opt to do just that.
The owner of the business can request a renewal by phone, fax, or e-mail. Renewals are usually funded in less than 24 hours of being requested.
I have high enough overall sales, but my VISA/MC volume is very low. Is there any way I could receive funding?
Yes. The minimum requirement for qualification of the Business Cash Advance program is $5000 of your monthly VISA/MC transactions.
We custom tailor our products to suit our customers' needs all the time. Just ask! Our other financial products such as our fast business loan might be a better option. Check out our business loan page for more details.

Can I receive financing from Merchant Advisors while the financing from another company is still outstanding?
Yes, but we must pay off any outstanding balances on your current advance. (You receive all remaining proceeds).
I am already with another financing company providing similar financing. Does that mean I will get approved by Merchant Advisors?
