What is a merchant cash advance?

A merchant cash advance (MCA) provides a lump sum of capital in exchange for an agreed percentage of your future card sales until the advance — plus a fixed fee — is repaid. Unlike a traditional loan, repayments fluctuate with your revenue: busy months mean faster repayment; quiet periods mean lower repayments.

Because repayment is linked to card takings, MCAs are particularly well-suited to businesses with seasonal or variable revenue patterns.

Who is a merchant cash advance right for?

  • → Retail businesses with consistent card transactions
  • → Restaurants, cafes, bars and hospitality venues
  • → Salons, spas and beauty businesses
  • → E-commerce businesses with card/online revenue
  • → Businesses that need funding fast with minimal paperwork
  • → Businesses with imperfect credit history

Important Note

"MCAs are priced differently to conventional loans — using a factor rate rather than an APR. This makes comparison between providers genuinely complex. We help you understand the true cost of each offer and compare it against alternative funding options to make sure an MCA is the right fit."
