Merchant Cash Advances for Restaurants and Retailer’s
Monday, September 24th, 2007The reality of the economic climate facing business owners today is that traditional lenders are toughening the requirements needed to obtain working capital. Over 90% of all small business owners can not get money from banks. Reasons include length of time in business, lack of collateral, and the owner’s poor credit just to name a few.
Let’s explore a unique solution for business owners who need a quick infusion of capital. One of the least-known merchant financing strategies for successful businesses is potentially the single best working capital management strategy for obtaining needed capital. The use of a merchant cash advance program or credit card factoring program.
For any business that accepts credit cards as a method of payment, a merchant cash advance is a critical business financing tool that is often overlooked. Merchant cash advances are based solely on the company’s future credit card sales. A merchant cash advance allows a business owner to get a large sum of cash now, without incurring any additional debt.
Some of the key advantages of a merchant cash advance over other forms of financing are: no long application process, 24 hour approvals, cash in 5-7 working days, no application fees, no tax returns needed, no business plan needed, no closing costs, no fixed payment terms, no fixed time, no hassles. Typically a merchant can obtain between $5,000 and $1,000,000 per location. The amount depends on your monthly VISA/MC sales volume.
You can you use the money for, buying out a partner, expansion, advertising campaign, hiring personnel, payroll, emergencies, almost anything related to your business.
Collection of the purchased credit card sales occurs automatically through the credit card processor, which sends the funding company a small fixed, predetermined percentage from each credit card sale. The seamless integration of processing and ease of obtaining working capital is a natural fit and an obvious benefit to businesses that can not acquire traditional funding.
Merchant cash advance companies work with both established and expanding businesses to provide working capital to businesses in the small-to-medium sized range that prefer a funding option that aligns with their cash flow.
As you can see, a merchant cash advance, can potentially be the single best working capital management strategy for obtaining needed cash. This is a vital business financing tool that should not be overlooked.
