Frequently asked questions
How much can I borrow with a merchant cash advance?
Typically, businesses can access between 100% and 150% of their average monthly card turnover. So if you process £30,000/month in card sales, you could typically access £30,000-£45,000 in funding.
What percentage of card sales is repaid?
Repayment rates (called the 'holdback rate') typically range from 10-25% of daily card sales, depending on the lender and your risk profile. This is agreed upfront and remains fixed throughout the advance.
Is a merchant cash advance the same as a business loan?
No - a merchant cash advance is a purchase of future revenue, not a loan. There is no fixed term, no APR, and no missed payment risk in the traditional sense. The advance is repaid as your card sales come in.
