What affects the price

When you look at MCA financing, the price isn't a flat fee. It usually depends on your company's daily transaction volume, your industry type, and how long you have been operating. Lenders check your cash flow to gauge risk, which directly influences the factor rate applied to your advance. If your business has steady, high-volume deposits, you might see better terms. Conversely, businesses with fluctuating sales or shorter track records might see higher rates to offset the lender's risk. While factor rates typically range from 1.1 to 1.5, your specific situation dictates the final number. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

About this service

If you have experienced credit issues, an MCA can still be an option because the focus is on your business’s daily sales performance rather than your personal credit score. This makes it a viable path for owners who have been turned away by traditional banks. You would use this when your business is performing well and generating consistent sales, even if your credit history isn't perfect. It allows you to leverage your business health to obtain funding.
