What is a Business Cash Advance?
A business cash advance—also known as revenue-based financing gives you fast access to working capital by advancing funds based on your future sales. Instead of borrowing against what you have, you’re funded on what you’re projected to earn. Repayment is made through a small, fixed percentage of your daily sales, making it a flexible option that adjusts with your cash flow. It’s often easier to qualify for than traditional loans, especially for newer or seasonal businesses.

How a Business Cash Advance Works
A business cash advance isn’t your typical loan. Instead of fixed monthly payments, a set percentage of your daily or weekly sales is automatically withdrawn making repayment easy, predictable, and aligned with your business flow. It’s a smart way to access working capital without the wait or paperwork of traditional financing.

What Is a Merchant Cash Advance?
A merchant cash advance (MCA) gives your business quick access to working capital by advancing funds against future credit card sales. Repayments happen automatically—taken as a small percentage of your daily deposits.
Because MCAs are fast, flexible, and don’t require specific use cases, they’re a go-to option for businesses needing to cover short-term gaps or seize urgent opportunities.

How Does a Merchant Cash Advance Work?
Repayment starts once you receive the funds. Each day, a set percentage of your credit card sales is automatically deducted.
There are two repayment methods:
Split Withholding: The lender takes their cut directly from your daily credit card sales.
Lockbox: All sales go to a managed account; your portion is sent to you after the lender takes theirs.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Find answers to some commonly asked questions about business and merchant cash advances.
Can a startup get a business cash advance?
A business cash advance is an option for startup businesses that may not yet qualify for other types of business financing. Because a business cash advance is repaid based on your business’s income, time in business and other factors that can make securing financing difficult for startups don’t apply. If your startup has a strong income, a business cash advance could be an excellent solution for your fast-capital needs.
What are the pros and cons of a merchant cash advance?
Before taking a cash advance or any funding option, compare it with the other funding options available. Merchant cash advances are a unique form of financing with benefits and drawbacks:
Merchant Cash Advance Pros
- Speed of funding: Cash advances are quick to fund and can often provide cash within 24 hours of approval.
- Not collateralized: Generally, no collateral is required for a merchant cash advance.
- Long business history not required: Cash advances are often pitched to newer businesses or businesses with a shorter financial history, although you may be asked to provide 3-6 months of bank statements, receivables, or daily sales records.
- Won’t appear on a credit report: Due to the unique structure of a merchant cash advance payment, it’s actually considered a sales transaction. This designation means it won’t appear on a credit report.
Merchant Cash Advance Cons
- Expensive: Merchant cash advances typically have higher rates than other types of business financing. A high rate or longer repayment period due to low sales can result in an overall higher cost of financing.
- Not federally regulated: Since merchant cash advances are considered commercial transactions, they lack some regulations and requirements associated with other borrowing options.
- Business credit may still be checked: Some financiers may check credit before approving the advance, which can impact the factor rate of the advance.
- Doesn’t improve your credit: As mentioned above, due to the unique structure of a merchant cash advance payment, it’s considered a sales transaction and usually doesn’t appear on a credit report. But this means repayment of a merchant cash advance also won’t help build credit history or improve a credit score.
What is the difference between a loan and a cash advance?
A loan and a cash advance are two different types of financial aid used by businesses, and they come with distinct differences. A loan is a type of debt where a lender, often a bank, provides a lump sum of money upfront, and the borrower repays the amount over a set period with interest. The repayment schedule is usually monthly and the interest rate is typically fixed.
On the other hand, a cash advance is a short-term funding option where the funder provides a lump sum of money that the borrower repays through a fixed percentage of their future sales. Also, cash advances use a factor rate instead of an interest rate to calculate the total repayment amount. This makes cash advances a flexible, but often more expensive, option than traditional business loans.
Are there restrictions on how the funding is used?
We do not restrict how you can use your merchant cash advance funding. We believe small business owners understand best what they need to do to grow their businesses, so while our team may provide some coaching, the final decision is yours.
