What is a Merchant Cash Advance (MCA)?

Definition: Merchant Cash Advance (MCA) is an alternative financing solution which offers merchants access to capital based on their monthly credit / debit card sales. Through the purchase and sale of credit / debit card receipts, money is advanced upfront to a merchant and the advance is repaid by taking out a small % of the daily credit / debit card sales until the advance is paid off.

Get Working Capital Now!

A merchant cash advance is a way to provide working capital to a business by purchasing their future credit / debit card sales from their customers. Higher approval rates than traditional finance products. MCA is for you when you can't get a loan from a bank. There's no fixed monthly payments since an MCA works with your business' cash flow and credit card sales. Repayment is made by delivering a fixed percentage of the merchant's future credit card sales to Capify. There's no personal guarantee! MCA is for low risk type processing industries, i.e., card present environments, restaurants.

Some uses for the MCA:

  • Advertising
  • Expansion - Opening new locations
  • Inventory - For example: taking a $20k advance to buy goods that will be resold at $60k.
  • Partner Buyout - MCA is cheaper than giving away X% of profits.
  • Extra Cash-Flow
  • Renovations - Taking an MCA now will bring an additional $X in future revenue. For example, building a new party room in a restaurant can yield over $100k of revenue over time.
  • Repairs / upgrading equipment
  • 70% of merchants renew for additional working capital.

No Bank Needed. Risk Free Deal
We are buying a merchant’s future credit / debit card sales today at a discount. We advance them $X for the right to buy back $Y worth of their future credit / debit card sales. We do this by taking a small % of their future credit / debit card sales going forward until the advance is paid off. We typically pay 74¢ for each future credit / debit card receivable purchased.

Advantages of taking an MCA:

  • No real estate - No assets to pledge or secure it with
  • Less paperwork involved than a bank loan
  • No fixed time period - payback is based on a % of merchant's future credit card sales.
  • No fixed interest rate
  • Works with merchant's cash flow. If sales slow down, payback slows down.
  • No fixed monthly payment to worry about
  • No personal guarantee
  • The amount is never reported to credit bureaus, unless merchant violates the agreement.

Pass-through Account

Here's how the payback is collected:

A pass-through account is a separate business checking deposit account that is set up in the merchant's name whereby daily credit card deposits will be directed. The full deposit is diverted into this pass-through account where the withhold is applied. Once we receive the daily credit card deposits, we take out our withholding % and send the balance of the funds via ACH credit to the merchant’s main operating bank account. With the pass-through account, there is typically a 48 hour / 2 business day delay on top of when the merchant would normally receive their money from their credit card processor. There is no cost to open a this account. However, there is a $25 monthly maintenance fee charged to the merchant once the account is actively being used.
You Could Get Advanced 100% of Your Monthly Sales Volume
We typically will advance up to one months worth of a merchant’s credit card receivables (or roughly 100% of their volume). The amount advanced ultimately is based upon not only the merchant’s credit card sales, but also their overall total sales.
We Don't Hamper Your Business Growth With an MCA
To protect the merchant’s cash flow, we like to take less than 20% of a merchant’s future credit card sales until we've collected the amount of future credit / debit card receivables purchased. And as an additional safeguard to the merchant, we will not take out more than 10% of the business’ total gross sales.
