FAQ
What is working capital financing?
Short-term funding used to support operations like payroll, inventory, and day-to-day expenses.
What is a merchant cash advance (MCA)?
An advance against future sales, typically repaid through daily deductions from revenue.
Why are MCAs considered risky?
Because repayment is tied to daily cash flow, and costs can escalate quickly if not structured properly.
Are there better alternatives?
Often yes—depending on revenue, time in business, and how the capital will be used.
How fast can working capital be funded?
Some options fund in days—but speed should never come before structure.
Is this right for every business?
No. It works best when the business has consistent revenue and a clear use for the capital.
