COMPARE FUNDING OPTIONS

Three ways to approach the same question: what does the business need now?

Each structure works differently. The right choice depends on the business, the reason for the capital, eligibility, and the terms available after review.

MERCHANT CASH ADVANCE

Working capital through a purchase of future receivables.

An MCA provides capital upfront in exchange for an agreed amount of future business receivables. It is not structured as a traditional term loan.

WHAT BUSINESSES USE CAPITAL FOR

Fund the need. Protect the momentum.

The reason for capital is often more important than the label on the product. Business owners use funding to solve timing problems, make purchases, and act on opportunities.

Business equipment and operations Equipment and repairs
Warehouse and inventory operations Inventory and operations
UNDERSTANDING MCA

Merchant cash advance should be explained clearly.

An MCA is generally structured as a purchase of future receivables. The business receives capital upfront and agrees to deliver a specified amount of future receivables under the agreement.

Not a traditional term loan The structure is based on an agreed purchase of future business receivables.
Business performance matters Review can include bank activity, time in business, industry, credit information, and other business factors.
Review the agreement carefully Understand the purchased amount, remittance structure, and other terms before accepting funding.
Use capital for the business Working capital can support legitimate business needs such as inventory, payroll, equipment, repairs, and growth.
