How Merchant Cash Advance Works

Split Program

How We Get Paid

The payments are simple, each day we collect a small % of your sales until the full amount is paid back. That way, we only get paid when you get paid. This makes a merchant cash advance a very cash flow friendly cash advance funding tool!

This % is the most important number in determining if these types of business cash advance financing are right for your business. The withholding % ranges from 4% – 30% of your daily sales, and would vary depending on a variety of factors, including the amount of the cash advance, revenue, type of company, industry, etc.

NOTE: The withholding % should not be confused with an interest rate. It is the number of your daily sales that gets collected and put towards paying your financing. It has nothing to do with your cost of capital.

How Much You Pay

There is a cost of money that gets determined as a factor rate. Meaning we assess a one-time cost based on the value of sales you might have in the future. Other than the factor fee, there is NO other costs on the funds.

The way a factor rate is calculated is as a multiplier of the amount you receive. The Factor rate will typically fall between 1.18 – 1.48.

Your advance amount is multiplied by the given factor rate to determine the total amount that must be paid back. For example, if you’re given $25,000 at a factor rate of 1.30, you’ll need to pay back a total of $32,500 (25,000 X 1.30 = 32,500).

The factor rate is determined based on a large number of factors including industry, location, years in business, number of employees, amount of funds being provided for credit card merchant financing, etc.

How we calculate Factor Rate

As a merchant lender & merchant cash advance company in Canada, We use our propriety software to create a credit score for your business (Unrelated to traditional credit scores) and thus determine the factor rate for your business as a cash advance lender. The longer we work with your business and the more we understand your business’s particular needs no matter, the more funding we will be able to give and the lower the factor rate will go and can offer some best business cash advance financing.

Factor Rate vs . Interest Rate

Please keep in mind that a factor rate is different from an interest rate in that a factor rate doesn’t take time into consideration. Interest rates are calculated on an annualized basis. In the case of a factor rate instead of a fixed payment, the speed at which you pay back is based on your sales and performance of your business and therefore cannot be computed to an interest rate.

How Do We Differ

NO INTEREST

NO FIXED PAYMENTS

NO ACCRUING INTEREST

NO APPLICATION FEES

NO DOWN PAYMENT

NO LATE FEES

Quick overview of a merchant cash advance

A merchant cash advance is the provision of a set amount of money, determined by your existing credit/debit card payments.

Once the amount of the advance is accepted, a percentage (known as a withholding) will be proposed. This can range anywhere from 4% – 30% of your daily sales and is determined by a variety of factors. Note: the withholding percentage can vary based on whether your sales are higher or lower than normal, in order to assure you don’t pay more then you can afford.
