What is merchant cash advance?

A merchant cash advance (MCA) is a purchase of future receivables, the funder buys a set dollar amount of the merchant's future revenue at a discount. Repayment is typically daily or weekly ACH pulls calibrated to a percentage of sales.

MCA is the workhorse of the alternative finance space: fast, forgiving on credit, and highly commissionable. The trade-off is cost, buyers should be ready to educate merchants on true APR-equivalent economics.
