Merchant Cash Advance for Dallas Businesses

What is a Merchant Cash Advance?

A Merchant Cash Advance (MCA) is a unique financing option where you receive a lump sum of capital in exchange for a percentage of your future credit and debit card sales. It’s not technically a loan—it’s a purchase of your future receivables.

For Dallas businesses that process significant card transactions, an MCA offers flexibility that traditional financing can’t match. Your repayment adjusts automatically based on your actual sales, providing built-in flexibility during slow periods.

How a Merchant Cash Advance Works

1. Receive Your Funding

After approval, you receive a lump sum deposit directly into your business bank account. Funding can be as fast as the same day for qualified applicants.

2. Automatic Repayment

A small percentage of your daily credit and debit card sales (called the “holdback” or “retrieval rate”) is automatically deducted and sent to repay the advance. This typically ranges from 10% to 20% of your daily card sales.

3. Flexible Payments

When sales are strong, you pay more. When sales are slow, you pay less. This built-in flexibility helps protect your cash flow during seasonal downturns or unexpected slow periods.

4. Full Repayment

The advance is fully repaid when you’ve remitted the agreed-upon total amount (your advance plus the factor rate fee). There’s no fixed end date—repayment depends on your sales volume.

Benefits of a Merchant Cash Advance

Revenue-Based Repayment

Unlike fixed monthly loan payments, MCA payments adjust with your sales. This is particularly valuable for seasonal businesses or those with fluctuating revenue.

Fast Access to Capital

MCAs are one of the fastest funding options available. Many Dallas businesses receive funding within 24-48 hours of approval.

Less Stringent Requirements

Because MCAs are based on your card sales rather than traditional creditworthiness metrics, they’re often available to businesses that might not qualify for traditional bank loans.

No Collateral Required

Your future sales serve as the basis for repayment, so you don’t need to put up equipment, real estate, or other assets as collateral.

Flexible Use of Funds

There are no restrictions on how you use MCA funds. Invest in inventory, marketing, equipment, staffing, or any other business need.

MCA Requirements

To qualify for a merchant cash advance with Equipment Financing Dallas Pros:

• Time in Business: At least 6 months of operating history
• Monthly Revenue: Minimum $15,000 in monthly gross revenue
• Card Sales: Significant credit/debit card processing volume
• Credit Score: 500+ FICO (we look at the whole picture)

Who Benefits Most from MCAs?

Merchant cash advances are ideal for:

• Restaurants & Cafes: High card transaction volume and seasonal fluctuations make MCAs a perfect fit.
• Retail Stores: Inventory-heavy businesses can use MCAs to stock up before busy seasons.
• Service Businesses: Hair salons, auto shops, and other service providers with card-based payments.
• Seasonal Businesses: The flexible repayment structure accommodates busy and slow seasons.

Understanding MCA Costs

MCAs use factor rates rather than interest rates. A factor rate of 1.11 means you’ll repay $1.11 for every $1.00 advanced. For example:

• Advance Amount: $100,000
• Factor Rate: 1.11
• Total Repayment: $111,000

The effective cost depends on how quickly you repay. Faster repayment (from strong sales) means a higher annualized cost, while slower repayment spreads the cost over more time.
