Credit Card Factoring-Quick Cash for Retailer’s Christmas Season

September 24th, 2007

Christmas season is coming and retailer’s must purchase their stock soon. Some retailer’s will fall short and may need extra cash in order to make this Christmas season a great one. One of the best ways to obtain working capital for small business is also one of the least known. It’s called credit card factoring. Credit card factoring is a very unique solution for those who need a quick infusion of cash. 

Every small business needs capital at some point. Credit card factoring utilizes an asset that is unrecognized by traditional financial institutions — a steady stream of credit card sales — to determine the financial viability of a business.  

Credit card factoring companies can help small business owners avoid financial black holes through purchasing a fixed amount of the businesses future credit card sales, at a small discount, and in turn, providing them with a lump sum of working capital.  

Credit card factoring cash advances typically varies from $5,000 to $1,000,000. Small businesses will frequently benefit from converting future cash flow into immediate working capital.  

The most likely candidates to benefit from this strategy are restaurants, bars, service businesses and retail stores. These loans can be used for expansion, buying out a partner, advertising, payroll, emergencies, anything related to business. 

Credit card factoring companies work with both established and expanding businesses to provide working capital to companies in the small-to-medium-sized range who have difficulty securing funding from traditional financial institutions or prefer a funding option that aligns with their cash flow. Working capital can be in the hands of the business owner in 7-10 days.

Credit Card Factoring- Financing for Aggressive Retailers

September 18th, 2007

Credit Card Factoring strategies for short-term working capital management is often overlooked because of an apparent preference for long-term business financing. Although long-term business loan options are frequently appropriate, there are several short-term working capital management possibilities that will be much more effective for business owners in achieving successful business financing results. One of the most overlooked short-term working capital financing strategies is Credit Card Factoring programs.

Credit Card Factoring - SHORT TERM WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

For any business that accepts credit cards as a method of payment, a Credit Card Factoring advance is a critical business financing tool that is often overlooked. Even thriving businesses frequently need more working capital than they can borrow from a bank. One of the least-known merchant financing strategies for successful businesses is potentially the single best working capital management strategy for obtaining needed cash for growing their business: the use of a Credit Card Factoring program.

The most likely candidates to benefit from this working capital loan strategy are retail stores, service businesses, restaurants and bars. The highly-recommended and highly-effective working capital financing strategy uses an under-utilized business asset (credit card receivables) to obtain Credit Card Factoring advances based upon a merchant’s sales volume.This working capital management strategy is also known as “credit card receivables funding”. Many businesses have relied upon a working capital financing strategy called “receivables factoring” or “receivables financing” which allows them to sell their future receivables at a discount.

Most small businesses cannot adequately document their receivables in order to qualify for this kind of business financing. Many other small businesses (such as restaurants, bars, retail stores and service businesses noted above) simply do not have such receivables to rely upon as a commercial financing tool.

What these businesses do have in many cases is documented sales volume and documented credit card sales activity. It is this documented level of sales volume and credit card sales activity that becomes a financial asset to the business and its business financing strategies. Credit Card Factoring advances from $5,000 to $1,000,000 can usually be obtained based on a merchant’s sales volume and future credit card sales.  

The business financing time period covered by a Credit Card Factoring advance is typically 12 months or less. For businesses that desire to continue the Credit Card Factoring advance program beyond this period, it is usually an easy matter to get an additional business cash advance once the initial one has been completed. Typically in 48 hours.

Credit Card Factoring-A viable Option for Working Capital

August 21st, 2007

One of the best ways to obtain working capital for small business is also one of the least known. It’s called credit card factoring. Credit card factoring is a very unique solution for those who need a quick infusion of cash. 

Every small business needs capital at some point. Small business loans are getting harder and harder to get from traditional lenders. In fact banks decline over 90% of all small business loan requests for various reasons including insufficient time in business, no collateral and less than perfect credit.  

Credit card factoring utilizes an asset that is unrecognized by traditional financial institutions — a steady stream of credit card sales — to determine the financial viability of a business. Capital advances are based solely on the company’s future credit card sales. A Credit card factoring funding for your business may be just what you’ve been looking for. 

According to the latest statistics from Equifax, there are more than 6 million small businesses in the

US. A high percentage of those small business owners are digging into personal savings, taking out home equity loans, borrowing from family and friends and running up credit card bills as forms of financing.  

Credit card factoring companies can help small business owners avoid these financial black holes through purchasing a fixed amount of the businesses future credit card sales, at a small discount, and in turn, providing them with a lump sum of working capital.  

Credit card factoring cash advances typically varies from $5,000 to $1,000,000. Small businesses will frequently benefit from converting future cash flow into immediate working capital.  

The most likely candidates to benefit from this strategy are restaurants, bars, service businesses and retail stores. These loans can be used for expansion, buying out a partner, advertising, payroll, emergencies, anything related to business.

Merchant Cash Advance Helps Retailers

August 9th, 2007

Opens Doors to the Financial World for Many

The merchant cash advance industry is growing at an astonishing clip. This growth is because traditional banks are not meeting the needs of small businesses.

“This product is very unique,” said Daniel Ollman, President of Crown Financial Services, Inc. “It’s a purchase of an asset, not a loan, so we have to use specific language consistent with a purchase of an asset, like retrieval rate and discount rate instead of interest rate. A lot like factoring but it’s of a sale that hasn’t yet happened.”

A cash advance provider gives merchants a lump sum cash advance up front. In exchange, merchants agree to pay back the principal and fee, by giving the company an agreed percentage of their credit card sales until their balance is zero. This percentage is between 12%-24%. The payback time-frame is only 5-12 months.

Merchants generally must use the providers’ credit card processor because the advance is paid back automatically as a percentage of each batch’s proceeds. A small number of merchant cash advance companies do not require the merchant to change credit card processors. So if this would be a problem, make sure to ask the merchant cash advance company you are thinking about working with.

“Cash advances are very different from traditional funding programs,” said Daniel Ollman, President of Crown Financial Services, Inc. “In essence, we purchase a small percentage of future MasterCard and Visa revenues, and the merchant repays this as a daily percentage of those revenues.” Getting cash from traditional financing institutions can be difficult for some businesses, particularly retail, restaurant, franchisees or seasonal businesses. These merchants most heavily use credit card processing, so merchant cash advance programs offer a number of benefits.

Why Do Merchants Like It

“The cash is usually available more quickly than it is with traditional loans said Ollman. These programs appeal especially to retail and restaurant merchants not only because these types of businesses can rarely get traditional funding, but also because of the immediate liquidity”. Crown Financial Services, Inc. usually funds within 5 days of approval. Most cash advance providers advertise that the cash can be available in about 10 days.

Unlike a loan with a fixed rate of interest, amount due and set due date each month, with merchant cash advances the money is paid back as credit card receivables come in.

“We ebb and flow with the business, so it is cash flow friendly, especially during seasonally slow periods,” Ollman said. “Traditional loans and leases require a set payment every month, whether the business has made a sale or not.” “Because payments are calculated as a percentage of sales, if sales are growing, the amortization could be quicker,” said Ollman, but if the proprietor experiences some interruption or downturn in business, the payments will be lower.”

In most cases, business owners put up no personal collateral and make no personal guarantee.

How Providers Make Money

According to Ollman, financing charges can vary widely, not just from one provider to another, but from one advance to another. “As an example, the range of financing on a $10,000 advance could be as low as $1500 or as high as $4,000. That’s a 60% difference,” he said.

There is no fixed interest rate; the effective interest rate varies depending on the business. If the merchant’s business is doing well and sales are up, the advance provider collects the money sooner and the interest rate is rather high. If sales are sluggish, the payback Since there is no time limit on paying back the loan, the effective annual rate decreases as the payments are extended over time, although the cash provider typically forecasts a fairly short period for payback, usually less than a year.

“There’s no question that the merchant’s cost for this kind of financing is going to come in more than a conventional loan,” Ollman said. “But it’s pretty much a foregone conclusion that a conventional bank will reject this merchant for their much needed loan.

“The merchants interested in a program like this may have a sketchy or distressed credit history. They’ll have things like past tax issues, a list of delinquencies, collection matters, liens or judgments that would be an automatic red flag for a conventional bank.

” The merchant cash advance industry caters to businesses that can’t get traditional funding.

A Risk Worth Taking

There is a risk to cash advance providers and a fairly high risk (hence the higher cost to the merchant for the money), but they use sophisticated models to determine the future likely credit card purchases. They also offer the cash with relatively short payback periods to help mitigate risk.

Although approval isn’t as difficult as it is for most bank loans, few cash advance providers will approve new merchants without a history of credit card transactions. Even fewer will approve sums larger than what merchants can reasonably expect to earn from credit card transactions in a year. Crown Financial Services, Inc. is a merchant cash advance provider that does not just look at the Visa/MasterCard sales volume, but the total cash volume of the business.

“The provider of the cash advance takes all of the risk,” Ollman said. “The risk is high, but since it is paid out of projected future sales, it is typically a risk worth taking.”

Seasonal businesses that need cash to carry them through lean seasons or merchants who have an unexpected downturn in business (say because of road construction, building repairs or extended illness) might find a need for a cash advance until business picks up again.

However, merchant cash advance companies say that ailing businesses are not the only merchants interested in this kind of program. Many types of businesses are often underserved by traditional funding institutions.

“Take for example a restaurant,” Ollman said. “It could be a very successful business, but a traditional bank wants to see tangible assets. Perishable foods or used restaurant equipment just won’t make the cut, even if that restaurant is packed every night.”

There are many examples of times when owners of healthy small businesses could use cash to help build their businesses but can’t get the traditional funding necessary. These include franchisees who have exhausted their savings to purchase their first franchise and want to open a second one; merchants whose competitors have closed and have the chance to buy their competitor’s old inventory or move into a new location; expansions; buyouts; or simply the desire to move quickly on a perceived new opportunity.

Now let’s answer the most frequently asked questions about this type of financing.

What is The Difference Between a Bank Loan and Credit Card Receivables Funding?

A business bank loan is a time consuming and inflexible process where the bank is very restrictive. You need a lot of documentation, collateral and your business has to be in an excellent shape. In a few words; the bank will usually lend you money when you least need it. Should you eventually get the loan; the repayment time is rigid as well as the amount and date on which it has to be paid. At Crown Financial Services, Inc. we have made the approval process very simple and straight forward. Approval and funding is usually done within a week. Since this is not a loan, your credit is not affected. The repayment process focuses on how your business is doing; “We’re paid when You’re paid”

How Do I Qualify For Funding?Thanks to our innovative system, the application process is quick and easy. All you need to qualify is:

  • One year in business
  • At least $5,000 in VISA/MC sales per month
  • No unresolved bankruptcies

Does it Cost Anything to Apply?

No, the application is free and we charge no processing fees to fund you.

How Much Funding Can I Get?

$5,000-$300,000 per location. The amount depends solely on your monthly VISA/MC sales volume.

How Quickly Can I Get Funded?

As little as four days but typically 7-10 working days. The funds are deposited directly into your business account.

Are There any Limits on How I Can Use the Money?No, most companies use the money to grow their business; remodel, add space, marketing, purchase additional inventory or employ more people to name a few. Others use the funds for events that they didn’t plan or budget for. In any way you see fit for your business. 

How do I Repay?
A small percentage is deducted from each credit card transaction. We don’t have any preset amounts or dates. The time to repay depends on your sales; if you have a slow month, you pay back a little less and it also depends on the program you qualify for.
 

Is There a Penalty for Early Repayment?

Since this is not a loan with a fixed time frame, we do not charge anything if you repay a little quicker than you anticipated.

Do I Have to Switch Processors?

Not necessarily, we have a list of processors that we work with. Should you have to change, no need to worry – we will beat your current rates.

When can I re-apply?

Once you have repaid the original Business Cash Advance you can apply again. It is possible to apply for an additional Business Cash Advance, provided that part of it will be used to pay off the original funding. In most cases, the initial Business Cash Advance has helped to grow the business and you now qualify for increased funding levels.

How do I know my current balance?We will provide you with printed monthly statements. In addition, you will be able to go on-line and get up-to-the-minute information. All this is in addition to the statements you will receive from the Credit Card Processor.

Merchant Cash Advances

June 17th, 2007

Merchant Cash Advance strategies for short-term working capital management are often overlooked because of an apparent preference for long-term business financing. Although long-term business loan options are frequently appropriate, there are several short-term working capital management possibilities that will be much more effective for business owners in achieving successful business financing results. One of the most overlooked short-term working capital financing strategies are merchant cash advance programs.

 Merchant Cash Advance - SHORT-TERM WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

 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. Even thriving businesses frequently need more working capital than they can borrow from a bank. One of the least-known merchant financing strategies for successful businesses is potentially the single best working capital management strategy for obtaining needed cash for growing their business: the use of a merchant cash advance program.

The most likely candidates to benefit from this working capital loan strategy are retail stores, service businesses, restaurants and bars. The highly-recommended and highly-effective working capital financing strategy uses an under-utilized business asset (credit card receivables) to obtain a merchant cash advance based upon a merchant’s sales volume.This working capital management strategy is also known as “credit card factoring”.

Many businesses have relied upon a working capital financing strategy called “receivables factoring” or “receivables financing” which allows them to sell their future receivables at a discount. Most small businesses cannot adequately document their receivables in order to qualify for this kind of business financing. Many other small businesses (such as restaurants, bars, retail stores and service businesses noted above) simply do not have such receivables to rely upon as a commercial financing tool.

What these businesses do have in many cases is documented sales volume and documented credit card sales activity. It is this documented level of sales volume and credit card sales activity that becomes a financial asset to the business and its business financing strategies.

Merchant cash advances from $5,000 to $300,000 can usually be obtained based on a merchant’s sales volume and future credit card sales. The business financing time period covered by a merchant cash advance is typically 12 months or less. For businesses that desire to continue the merchant cash advance program beyond this period, it is usually an easy matter to get an additional business cash advance once the initial one has been completed. Typically in 48 hours.

As with any successful business financing strategy, there will typically be only a small handful of  lenders who are effective at implementing this working capital management strategy properly.

Credit Card Receivables Funding
