Funding Options for Businesses with Poor or Recovering Credit
As a Merchant Cash Advance (MCA) provider, we’re often asked what other financial products are viable options for businesses with poor or recovering credit. Here’s a quick rundown of the products that come to mind:
Business Credit Cards
Credit cards allow businesses flexibility in repayment, though interest does accrue. They are great for emergency situations when needing to make quick purchases or repairs.
Business Line of Credit
A Business Line of Credit is a revolving loan that gives access to a fixed amount of capital. Businesses often use Lines of Credit to finance their short-term working capital needs. In many cases, you will be required to offer collateral as a way of securing the Line of Credit.
Equipment Financing
Equipment financing is often pursued by businesses that need to replace or add new equipment. This financial product is often secured through the equipment you are purchasing.
Merchant Cash Advance (our products/specialty!)
Merchant Cash Advances (MCAs) allow you quick access to your future sales in exchange for a percentage of your daily sales. One key difference between a Merchant Cash Advance and a business loan is what factor your repayment is based on. Loans charge you a fixed number each month, while MCAs are based on your projected revenue – so as your sales fluctuate, your payment amounts will fluctuate, too. This means more flexibility in repayment and more room to breathe.
