What is a CASH ADVANCE?
A Cash Advance is money given to small business owners who need to raise immediate capital. We advance this cash by purchasing a pre-determined amount of your business sales volume from your Visa/MasterCard merchant account.
Is this something new?
No. Cash Advances or Receivables Financing as it is called in the banking industry has been around since the 1950's. It wasn't until a few years ago, however, that restaurant owners, service businesses and various retailers could take advantage of this method of funding.
How do I qualify?
If you are a restaurant, a retail establishment or other small company with at least 1 year in business and with at least $2,500 per month in VISA/MasterCard sales for the previous 4 months, you are almost there! Some new companies may be considered.
If you have no open tax liens, judgments or bankruptcies, have reasonably acceptable personal and business credit and are in good standing with your property leasor with at least one year remaining on your lease you are eligible.
