What is a Merchant Cash Advance?

A Merchant Cash Advance (MCA) is a purchase of future receivables. You receive capital up front and repay via fixed daily/weekly remittances or a small percentage of card sales—so payments flex with cash flow. Pricing is via a factor rate (not APR), and funds are typically fast once approved.

What is a Merchant Cash Advance?

With our merchant cash advances, you receive upfront capital in exchange for selling a portion of your future receivables. Repayment typically occurs through fixed daily or weekly remittances, or as a percentage of card sales, until the purchased amount is satisfied; pricing uses a factor rate rather than interest.


MCAs are best for short-term needs when speed and flexibility matter. Typical durations range from about 6–18 months. An MCA is a purchase of receivables, not a loan, and may involve a UCC-1 filing and personal guarantee depending on the funder.
