What is the cost of a merchant cash advance and how it works?
A merchant cash advance incurs no upfront fees and has no fixed payment terms. Instead, you automatically repay a percentage of your future card takings over a short period, usually six to twelve months. There are no fixed repayment terms or penalties for late payments. Repayments occur only when a card transaction is processed, allowing you to repay more during busy periods and less during quieter times.

Every business is unique, so pricing is unique. The cost of this type of finance is clear and straightforward as it is calculated using a factor rate which gives you a total repayment figure. A repayment percentage of each future sale by card is repaid to the lender until the loan amount is paid off in full by the business owner. There are no other hidden charges or costs associated with this type of borrowing.
The pricing for this commercial finance varies based on the individual business. It is calculated using a factor rate, providing a clear and straightforward total repayment amount. The business owner repays a percentage of each future card sale to the lender until the loan amount is fully paid off. Rest assured, there are no hidden charges or additional costs associated with this borrowing option.
A factor rate is a calculation used by lenders to determine the total repayment amount for a loan. It involves multiplying the loan amount by a factor rate, typically ranging between 1.1 and 1.5.
For example, let's say your business borrows £10,000 based on its sales volume, and the lender sets the factor rate at 1.3. To calculate the total repayable amount, you would multiply the loan amount (£10,000) by the factor rate (1.3). In this case, the total repayable amount would be £13,000 (£10,000 x 1.3). This includes the total cost of finance.
No, there are no fixed monthly repayments. Unlike traditional cash loans, there is no fixed term or APR (Annual Percentage Rate). Instead, you repay a small percentage of your future credit and debit card sales until the advance is fully repaid. This flexible repayment structure accommodates seasonal businesses where card takings can vary significantly.
