What is a Merchant Cash Advance? A guide on an increasingly popular type of loaning in which you can pay back your loan using payments made through your card terminal. An option for businesses which operate on a seasonal level.
A Merchant Cash Advance is a loaning option that was imported from America 2007/2008 with a growing popularity in the UK in the past 4 years.
A Merchant Cash Advance allows you to raise finance based on your credit card terminal turnover on a monthly basis. Your proven average monthly turnover is typically the amount you can receive a merchant advance loan for. If you make £5000 per month through your card terminal for 12 months, you are likely able to loan up to £5000.
What you can show is your average monthly turnover tends to be what you can get depending on the loaner, and you are able to repay this amount (additional of a fee) by agreeing to give a small percentage (usually 10-15%) of all card receipts to the advance provider until the loan is paid off. It's an easy-option because this is done automatically at the terminal with each transaction and you don't have to change your card processor.
- Get up to your monthly average turnover as a business cash advance
- Repay by giving a percentage of card sales towards repayment. No deadlines.
- Very flexible with adverse credit histories but minimum trading time is 9 months
- No need to change your card processor
