What is a Business Cash Advance?
Turn your future credit card sales into cash.
A business cash advance known also as a merchant cash advance involves you receiving cash for selling a small portion of your future Visa- and MasterCard- receipts. It's that simple.
Convert credit card receivables into capital.
The business cash advance is established when a merchant sells an agreed upon percentage of future Visa and Master Card merchant account receivables in order to gain needed capital.
Cash advance is similar to factoring-except no business invoices.
This is pretty much similar to invoice factoring, except in this case your future credit card receivables are factored rather than the business to business invoices.
This is how your Business Cash Advance is repaid
Your business cash advance is repaid automatically by deducting a daily percentage of your future credit card sales. (No coupon books or fixed monthly payments to worry about)
Example:
-
You process $1000.00 in total Visa/MasterCard/American Express/Discover transactions on Monday
-
We deduct 15% (or $150.00) from the total amount of Monday's sales.
-
The net proceeds of $850.00 are deposited to your business checking account on Wednesday.
-
We provide a monthly statement showing the remaining balance left to repay on your advance. It-s that simple.
All revenue your company receives via check and cash remain protected cash flow as we only use your total credit card proceeds to repay the advance.
How it works for your business
Once the cash advance is in your hands, your business can create much needed revenue in the following ways:
| Utilize advertising | Expand to other locations |

What are the differences between traditional bank loans and a Merchant Cash Advance?
Loan Requirements & time
A typical business loan requires a written loan proposal, business and personal financials and is time consuming and very restrictive. If approved, it takes weeks through traditional bank lenders.
Loans & Personal Guarantee
The borrower must personally guarantee the loan. Moreover, a strict monthly payment schedule is adhered to regardless of monthly revenue.
Loans & Credit History
Loans are also very difficult to secure when they are needed most because a borrower is a greater financial risk liability to the lending institution.
Bankers focus on past credit history to determine a fixed loan repayment program which is of paramount interest while approving a loan.
Cash Advance: No fixed monthly payments
Merchant Cash Advances introduce minimal cost for your business while immediately increasing profits since the advance is only repaid when you process credit card sales.
Whereas, traditional loans require fixed monthly repayments that restrict your company's cash flow.
Cash Advance: Spending is your choice
The business is free to use the funds received in the form of a cash advance for whatever needed purpose.
With a loan, the lender often dictates the purpose for which the company can use the funds, which would hinder your company-s growth potential.
