Is A Business or working Cash Advance Right For You?
A Working Capital Advance (also known as a Business Cash Advance or Merchant Cash Advance) is not considered a loan. It is an advance of cash on future credit card receivables.
For this reason, there is no APR rate and no set repayment terms. There is only a set pay back amount. A flat fee will be charged to you for the advance. The short term business advance will range between 3 and 12 months.
This funding option is ideal for a business owner who has had difficulty getting a loan from a traditional bank due to poor personal credit or lack of time in business. A Working Capital Advance places less emphasis on these factors.
However, they are deemed high risk and because of this the cost of capital will be higher.
You will be given a term sheet indicating the amount you are borrowing and what your total pay back amount will be (the fee charged for the funding).
The repayment of Working Capital Advance is via a daily ACH debit from your bank account, or through your credit card processing. If through credit card processing the lender will hold back a percentage of daily credit card receivables.
