How a merchant cash advance works
A merchant cash advance is a flexible, low stress form of funding for UK businesses. No hidden costs, you repay as your business earns from future card payments.
You apply & receive funds
Receive between £10,000 and £500,000. You agree the small percentage of your card sales that will go towards repayment, usually between 5% and 15%.
You make card sales
You sell to your customers on your card machine as usual.
Repay automatically
A small pre-agreed percentage is automatically deducted from your daily card transactions, and you receive the remaining amount as normal. You only repay when your business makes money.
Repayments end
Collections stop automatically once the loan amount has been repaid.
Super simple and quick! We needed capital to get through a difficult period, and with Merchant Advance we were able to get funding within a few days.
