Merchant cash advance for businesses with strong card-based revenue

Merchant cash advance is a funding route where repayment is linked to future card takings, which can make it relevant for some retail, hospitality and leisure businesses.

What is a merchant cash advance?

Merchant cash advance is a facility where funding is advanced to the business and repaid through an agreed proportion of future card receipts. Because repayment moves with card income, the structure can feel more flexible for some trading models.

It is typically explored by businesses with steady card-based turnover where a traditional fixed monthly loan may not be the only route worth considering.

Repayment linked to card salesThe repayment flow can flex with trading rather than sitting as one fixed monthly amount.
