Merchant Cash Advance
What to know about merchant cash advances and other funding solutions for small businesses.
What’s a merchant cash advance?
A merchant cash advance (MCA) — also called a business cash advance — isn’t a loan. The same rules, regulations and requirements do not apply. Instead of borrowing money, you sell your future revenue. MCAs can be appealing because they provide quick funding and have more lenient qualification requirements — meaning you can get approved even with bad credit.

Before you decide which funding option is right for you, research your options to understand how a merchant cash advance works and how it compares to other forms of small business funding.
How does a merchant cashadvance work?
A merchant cash advance loan forwards payment to your business against future credit or debit card sales. It’s typically used to increase working capital for businesses and cover cash flow gaps. The advance works like this:
- Your business receives the cash
- The financing company charges fees
- Your business repays based on future sales
Minimum qualifications for MCA
What Are the Requirements for MCAs? Am I Eligible?
Every lender is different. One lender might require that you maintain at least $2,500 in monthly credit card transactions, while another might require $5,000.
While most will require that you’ve been in business for at least a year, another might consider you for advance with less than six months time in business. Some lenders may even require that you make five or more deposits a month. Some may require less.
