What You Should Know About Merchant Cash Advance Companies
December 1, 2015
Merchant Cash Advance
Recently, merchant cash advance (MCA) companies have become even more prevalent, and have been marketing themselves to small business owners. Sometimes, they market themselves as a nontraditional factoring company. But, what exactly are they?
MCA companies provide short-term advances to companies in a wide variety of industries. Typically, there’s little paperwork involved, and within a day or two, an MCA company will deposit a lump sum into your bank account.
Important Considerations
Although it may appear to be a quick way to get cash, you should consider the following:
- MCA companies charge rates up to 30% or greater, more than quadruple the amount of factoring fees.
- Daily withdrawals from your bank accounts reduces cash flow.
- Unlike factoring, most MCA companies will not provide additional capital until previous balances have been paid in full.
