Frequently asked questions

What type of financing does Merchant Capital provide?

Merchant Capital provides merchant cash advances, which are short-term financings repaid through a percentage of future credit card receivables rather than fixed monthly payments. The firm markets these advances as alternatives to bank loans for working capital, equipment, renovations, inventory, expansion, and tax obligations.

What are the minimum qualifications for a business to apply?

According to its own published guidelines, Merchant Capital requires a business to have been operating for at least three months and to generate a minimum of $5,000 in monthly revenue. The firm states that bad credit is not a disqualifying factor.

How fast can Merchant Capital fund a deal?

The firm states it can provide funding in as little as three business days from application. It typically provides a same-day or one-business-day approval decision after an applicant submits the online form.

What lien positions does Merchant Capital fund?

Merchant Capital states it is willing to fund into first through sixth lien positions. This targets borrowers who may already have multiple existing merchant cash advance stacks or other senior secured obligations.

Who runs investment and credit decisions at Merchant Capital?
