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.

Frequently asked in Hayward
What is a merchant cash advance?
