Merchant Cash Advance
Unlike traditional business loans, a merchant cash advance has become a more popular option for small businesses as it helps alleviate financial difficulties quickly, particularly their current cash flow.
It is specifically designed for businesses receiving a lot of credit card or EFTPOS payments. Often, funds are needed on demand to keep up with operating costs, debt payments, and other unexpected expenses to meet certain business goals.
The lender purchases a business’s future cash flow so future transactions are used to repay the borrowed funds, in addition to a fee charged by the lender for the loan product. The lender takes a percentage of each future sale the business makes until the debt is fully repaid.
A merchant cash advance provides more timely funding than traditional business loans.
