| Business Cash Advance FAQ |
|
Maybe you're unsure of exactly what a business cash advance really is, or maybe you think it sounds too good to be true. Either way, the information should help resolve any uncertainties you may have regarding our BCA program. |
|
|
 |
So
what is a Business Cash
Advance?
|
|
A
BCA, or sometimes called Merchant Credit Advance, is an advance (of dollars)
to a merchant/borrower based upon the average credit card charges that
are collected each month. |
 |
How
does it work?
|
|
The merchant is advanced a percentage of their monthly sales (typically
between 50% and 250%) and then repays these advanced monies by having a portion
of future sales deducted each month. Please note that higher advance percentages are available depending on the ratio of credit card sales to gross sales each month.

|
|
 |
How
fast can you close the deal?
|
|
Funds can typically be wired within ten (10) business
days, though it typically takes less time than this. The key is the timely submission of limited, requested documentation. |
 |
Is
there an application fee?
|
|
Absolutely not. We offer a no cost / no obligation quote
along with $0 in up-front fees for 'out-of-pocket' expenses such as
credit reports, overnight mailings, etc. |
 |
What
are the minimum requirements
that have to be met?
|
|
 Business has accepted
Credit Cards for at least 12 months
|
|
 Monthly
Credit Card volume is 15+ transactions and $5,000+ in sales
|
|
 All prior bankruptcies
(if any) have been resolved for 12+ months
|
|
 At least one (1) year
remains on the current retail lease (if property not owned)
|
 |
Are there usage restrictions on the advance?
|
|
None whatsoever! While this statement is 100% true, we do
suggest using the money wisely on such things as: expansion,
renovations, partnership buyouts, opening new locations,
purchasing inventory, and increasing business marketing, and other revenue generating activities. |
 |
Does the merchant have to change credit
card processors?
|
|
Fortunately, yes! We are able to offer the increased the benefit of reduced processing fees to 99% of our merchants, all while providing superior service. The change-over process is a simple one and in 90% of cases the current credit card terminals can simply be reprogrammed in a matter of minutes. |
 |
What documents are needed to close a deal?
|
|
The list of docs/stips is relatively minimal and typically inclusive of:
- GMC BCA Submission Form
- 12 Months Credit Card Statements
- Most Recent Bank Statement (optional)
- Voided Business Check
|

Merchant Photo ID
Merchant Business License
Copy of Lease / Deed
Broker Completed W-9

|
 |
What
if there is already an existing business
advance in place?
|
|
Luckily we're able to offer larger advances than most others and should
be able to, as long as the merchant meets certain guidelines and thresholds, payoff the existing
advance and/or outlay additional dollars. |
 |
What
about poor credit scores?
|
|
Adverse credit histories may affect the likelihood of receiving an approval. One must remember that this program has no personal guarantees, no liens, & no collateral and therefore we have to consider the likelihood of poor personal payment history threatening the future viability of the business. We've seen that ~525 scores and below present the most challenges, though a letter of explanation can go a long way to helping us better understand the situation. |
 |
Is
it difficult to renew?
|
|
Not at all, it's even easier the 2nd, 3rd, and subsequent times around.
In fact, our customers are so happy with us that 75% of them
come back for a 2nd time! Once the remaining balance hits 20% or less we can look to advance additional dollars, typically in only a few days. |
