A Simple Advance Built to Flex with Your Actual Daily Revenue
If your business experiences busy weekends and quiet Mondays, your loan payment shouldn't be a rigid, stressful flat fee. An MCA structure ensures your cash flow remains highly protected because the payback mechanics automatically map to your daily transaction traffic.
Merchant Cash Advance
Built for retail, hospitality, and consumer-facing businesses with steady card sales.
- Rapid Processing Speed
- Timing depends on the program and the lender; many working-capital files move quickly, real estate takes longer.
- Adaptive Security
- On slow sales days, your repayment amount automatically drops. On high-volume days, you pay back faster.
- No Rigid Collateral
- Secured strictly by your business's future transaction volume—no physical equipment or property liens required.

The Midwest · Medical staffing
The situation. The owner had a large balance sitting in receivables and could not cover Friday payroll. His agency places nurses and surgical techs into three regional hospital systems; his people get paid every Friday, his hospitals pay in sixty days. A new contract meant hiring a new team before a single hour of it could be billed — and his bank turned him down before he could explain who his customers were, because his credit still carries a personally guaranteed line from a business that closed.
What we did.
- Read the agency's operating history and invoices billed to hospital systems that pay slowly and pay every time.
- Ruled out a line of credit — it was out on his credit score.
- Ruled out a term loan — one lump sum for a problem that returns every sixty days.
- Advanced about $280K against invoices already issued. The invoice is the asset, so the credit underwritten is the hospital's — no minimum personal credit score, no personal guarantee.
The outcome. He made that week's payroll and kept every new hire.
Approval is never guaranteed, and timing depends on the program and the lender.

- About $280K first advance

The Southeast · Salon & spa
The situation. A spa build-out ran long and ran over, so the owner took an advance in April to finish it rather than let the rooms sit empty through summer. July was slow the way July is always slow, and the advance did not care — so she took a second one to cover the first. By August three advances were debiting her account, two of them daily: about $2,400 leaving the business every business day before she opened the doors or sold a single service. She had stopped paying herself in June and started stretching product orders until her stylists noticed the empty shelves.
What we did.
- Pulled four months of bank statements, added up every debit, subtracted it from deposits, and looked at what was actually left to run a business on. It was not enough to reorder color.
- Ruled out a term loan — a new fixed payment would have landed on top of three existing ones, and her days would have looked identical until the advances retired on their own.
- Ruled out a line of credit — a line is built for a gap that opens and closes on its own schedule; she had three fixed obligations that would keep pulling until they were paid off.
- Consolidated instead: paid off all three advances and replaced them with one structure built around how a salon actually earns — weekly and unevenly, not the same amount every business day.
The outcome. Three daily and weekly debits became one payment she could plan around. She reordered products the same week and paid herself in September for the first time since spring.
Approval is never guaranteed, and timing depends on the program and the lender.
MCA Consolidation
- Amount placed:
- Three advances retired, one payment
- Timing:
- Shortly after approval
MCA Daily Repayment Estimator
A merchant cash advance repays as a small percentage of your daily sales, so payments flex with your volume. See what the daily remittance looks like and roughly how long payback takes.
Your Sales & Advance
Holdbacks commonly run 8% to 15% of daily card or bank sales. Factor rates commonly run 1.2 to 1.5.
The factor rate is total cost, not an interest rate — a 1.35 factor means you repay $1.35 for every dollar advanced. Slower sales stretch the payback period rather than raising the daily amount.
Estimate for planning purposes only. Actual holdback, factor rate, and term are set by the funding partner in underwriting.
What this calculator works out
This merchant cash advance calculator converts an advance amount, factor rate, and daily holdback percentage into total payback, estimated daily remittance, and how long repayment takes based on your card and deposit volume.

Questions, Answered
Yes! MCAs are designed around the health of your daily revenue and card sales, not your credit score. If your business has consistent, stable daily sales, you may be a fit for these programs; approval depends on lender review. Credit score guide →
Repayments are completely automated. They are pulled as a tiny, pre-agreed percentage of your daily credit card credit batches or through a standard bank ACH, meaning you never have to worry about missing a manual due date.
