How a merchant cash advance works

A merchant cash advance gives your business a lump sum today in exchange for a fixed amount of future revenue. Instead of an interest rate, the cost is a factor rate: multiply the advance by the factor rate to get the total you repay. Repayment is a fixed daily or weekly debit from your business bank account.

Because the decision is based on your deposits rather than collateral or a perfect credit score, an MCA can be approved in hours instead of weeks. Business owners use it for payroll, inventory, equipment, renovations, marketing, or bridging a slow season.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers about merchant cash advances, eligibility, and how Workable Funding works.

What is a merchant cash advance?

+

A merchant cash advance (MCA) is business funding repaid from your future revenue. You receive a lump sum and repay a fixed total amount through daily or weekly debits from your business bank account. It is based on your sales, not collateral.

Is a merchant cash advance a loan?

+

No. An MCA is a purchase of future receivables, not a loan, so it uses a factor rate instead of an interest rate. Many people still search for it as an "MCA loan" or "cash advance loan".

How much does a merchant cash advance cost?

+

Cost is set by a factor rate. Your total repayment is the funded amount times the factor rate — for example, $50,000 at 1.38 repays $69,000. 1.38 is a common middle rate, not a floor; your rate is set from your own file.

Who qualifies for a merchant cash advance?

+

At Workable Funding you need at least 6 months in business, a business checking account, $15,000 or more in monthly revenue, and a 500+ personal FICO score.

How fast can I get a merchant cash advance?

+

Most businesses get a decision the same day they apply, and funds typically arrive within 24 to 48 hours of approval.

Does applying affect my credit score?

+

No. Applying does not impact your personal credit score. The decision is based mainly on your business bank statements.
