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.

How a Merchant cash advance repayment works
1

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%.

2

You make card sales

You sell to your customers on your card machine as usual.

3

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.

4

Repayments end

Collections stop automatically once the loan amount has been repaid.
