What is merchant cash advance?

Merchant cash advance is a purchase of future receivables rather than a loan. The funder buys a set amount of future card takings at a discount, and the borrower repays via a daily split of card income.

It suits retail, hospitality and e-commerce operators with strong card flow but who fail cash-flow or credit tests for a term loan. Approvals are quick because the card processor is doing most of the underwriting.

We capture PSP, monthly card turnover and requested advance at enquiry so lenders can quote inside an hour.
