Merchant Cash Advance

A newly-released study by Creditcards.com, shows that while Millennials and GenXers increasingly use plastic or their phones to pay for small purchases, 70 percent of Boomers and those in the 72-and-older group still prefer to use cash to pay for items that cost $5 or less at the store.

Flexible funding tailored to you

Unlock a more adaptable way to access capital — repaid only as your sales flow in. You’ll agree on a single, upfront cost — no fixed monthly payments, no hidden fees, no penalties, ever.

What is a Merchant Cash Advance?

A Merchant Cash Advance (also known as a Business Cash Advance) is an unsecured, sales-based finance solution, providing quick access to funding from £4,000 to £200,000. Unlike traditional loans, there’s no interest rate or fixed repayment schedule. Instead, you repay via a small percentage of your future credit and debit card sales — allowing flexibility that aligns with your business performance:

  • Busy periods = larger payments
  • Quiet times = smaller repayments

Ideal for card-accepting businesses, it’s a fast and convenient way to boost capital.
