Merchant cash advance

A merchant cash advance is a purchase of part of a business's future sales: the funder pays a lump sum now and collects a fixed payback amount through daily or weekly remittances or a share of card sales. It is not a loan, and its cost is set by a factor rate rather than an interest rate.

How it works

The Terms, in Plain Words.

How much
$5,000 to $2,000,000, sized on monthly deposits. The largest files cap near 10 percent of annual sales.
What it costs
A factor rate, 1.25 to 1.50 on our panel as of September 28, 2026. Payback amount equals the advance times the factor. Every offer shows the Estimated APR beside the factor.
How it is repaid
A fixed daily or weekly remittance from the business account, or a split of card settlements through the terminal.
How long
1 to 24 months, set by the size of the advance and the remittance the account can carry.
How fast
Often within 24 to 48 hours of approval. Complete statements before 2 PM Eastern on a business day fund fastest.
Credit
500+ on our panel, checked with a soft pull that does not affect your score. Deposits matter more than the score.

Timing depends on the provider, the time of day you apply, and how quickly documents arrive. Files submitted with complete bank statements before 2 PM Eastern on a business day are the ones that fund fastest. Not every file funds in a day.

When it fits

Use It for the Right Job.

A short gap with a known end

Inventory before a busy season, a repair, a receivable that is late but coming. The remittance ends when the payback is reached.

Speed matters more than price

When the cost of waiting a month is a lost contract or a parked truck, a day or two beats the cheapest money.

Credit below a bank's line

The file is read on deposits. A score that closes a bank's door does not close this one.

When Something Else Fits Better.

A planned, long investment

A term loan costs less over a long horizon when the deposits can carry a monthly payment. Term loans

A gap that keeps coming back

A line of credit can be drawn, repaid and drawn again, and charges interest only on what is out. Lines of credit

A truck, a machine or a buildout

Equipment financing lets the equipment carry its own note over its useful life. Equipment financing
Worked example

Run the Arithmetic.

Computed with the same math the desk prices an offer with. An estimate, not an offer.

A $50,000 Advance at a 1.35 Factor.

Remitted every business day over six months. Illustrative inputs inside our panel's range.

Advance
$50,000
Factor rate
1.35
Payback amount
$67,500
Cost of capital
$17,500
Daily remittance
$519.23 for 130 business days
Estimated APR
125.9%

The factor alone hides the term. The same 1.35 over twelve months carries a far lower Estimated APR than over six, which is why every offer is compared on Estimated APR and total payback.

Commonly Asked Questions

A merchant cash advance is a purchase of part of a business's future sales: the funder pays a lump sum now and collects a fixed payback amount through daily or weekly remittances or a share of card sales. It is not a loan, and its cost is set by a factor rate rather than an interest rate.

Is a merchant cash advance a loan?
No. A merchant cash advance is a purchase of part of a business's future sales. The funder pays a lump sum now and collects a fixed payback amount from sales. Its cost is a factor rate, not an interest rate, and every Batch Capital offer shows the Estimated APR beside the factor so it can be compared with a loan.
How do you calculate the cost of a merchant cash advance?
Multiply the advance by the factor rate. A $50,000 advance at a 1.35 factor has a payback amount of $67,500, so the cost of capital is $17,500. How expensive that is depends on how fast it is repaid, which is what the Estimated APR captures.
How fast can I get a merchant cash advance?
Often within 24 to 48 hours of approval. Files that arrive with three complete months of business bank statements before 2 PM Eastern on a business day are the ones that fund fastest. Not every file funds in a day.
What credit score do I need for a merchant cash advance?
500 or higher across our panel as of September 28, 2026, checked with a soft pull that does not affect your score. A funder reads deposits first, so steady deposits can outweigh a low score.
How much of a merchant cash advance can I get?
It is sized on the deposits into the business account. The largest files cap near 10 percent of annual sales, about 1.2 months of deposits. The advance calculator on this site runs the same math.
Can I get an advance if I already have one?
Sometimes, but say so up front. An existing remittance shows on the first page of the statements and changes every offer. Taking several advances at once, called stacking, is the fastest way to strain cash flow, so the desk will tell you when a second position does not make sense.
