How Merchant Cash and ACH Advances Work

A Merchant Cash or ACH Advance is a lump sum advance of cash today which will be repaid from future credit card or retail sales. The provider will collect repayment by taking a percentage of each sale until the advance is repaid. Its important to note that most Merchant Cash or ACH Advances are not considered loans but simply advances of cash based on the probability of future sales.

There are some significant advantages and benefits to Merchant Cash and ACH Advances over other forms of financing which include...

No Personal Guarantees: In most cases, there are no personal guarantees required from the business owner.
Flexible Repayment Terms: Because the provider takes a small percentage of each sale until repayment is made, there are no fixed monthly payment amounts. If sales are slow, the repayment is decreased. If sales are robust, the repayment is faster.
Ease of Access: Merchant Cash and ACH advances are one of the easiest forms of financing for many businesses to access.
Use for Any Purpose: Though commonly used to purchase new equipment or for facility expansion, Merchant Cash and ACH Advances can be used for virtually any purpose.

A Renewable Source of Funding

Although Merchant Cash and ACH Advances are sometimes considered "expensive" methods of business finance, there is considerable risk for the provider in these unsecured cash advances transactions, so the expense is understandable. It is also important to note that industry statistics evidence nearly two out of every three businesses opting to utilize this type of funding, find the advances so beneficial, that they renew their advances a second and even third time for working and expansion capital until they can qualify for a more traditional and less expensive type of financing.
