Merchant cash advances

MCAs move quickly when deposits are strong — and they can get expensive. We say that up front.

What this structure is for

An advance against future card or ACH deposits, repaid as a share of intake. We underwrite deposits and existing obligations first — the product name comes second.

Benefits

  • Speed over cheapnessOften faster than bank term loans; cost is usually higher.
  • Holdback mathRepayment tracks deposits, so quiet weeks pull less — busy weeks pull more.
  • Stacking riskMultiple advances can choke the account; we check existing holds.
  • Honest disclosureFactor rates and estimated cost of capital are discussed before signing.

When it fits

Card-heavy or ACH-heavy businesses needing speed and able to absorb a higher cost of capital.

When it does not

Thin-margin operators already carrying stacked advances, or anyone seeking the cheapest long-term facility.
