Merchant Cash Advance is a well-known and well-liked substitute for conventional bank loans. Your company receives funding from a lender, which you then repay with a certain portion of future sales proceeds.
A Merchant Cash Advance, or MCA (alternatively referred to as a Future Receivables Purchase and Sale Agreement), is a loan made to a business in exchange for a fixed percentage of future credit card and/or overall sales at a discount. The business must repay the advance until a greater amount (purchased amount) is paid in full than the specified amount (purchase price). This process is unique in that it allows for flexible payments (a percentage of credit card or overall sales) that fluctuate in the future in accordance with sales revenue. The "factor rate" is the difference between the large upfront payment and the specified amount (purchase price) or payback amount.
