Merchant Cash Advance (MCA): Access Funding Based on Your Future Sales
Is your business generating consistent sales, particularly through credit and debit cards? Are you looking for a flexible funding option where repayment aligns directly with your revenue flow? A Merchant Cash Advance (MCA) provides businesses like yours with quick access to a lump sum of cash based on your anticipated future sales. It’s a popular choice for businesses needing capital fast without the rigid structure of a traditional loan. At Éxito Funding, we offer accessible MCA solutions designed for speed and flexibility, allowing your US business to leverage its sales performance for immediate capital.
What is a Merchant Cash Advance (MCA)?
A Merchant Cash Advance (MCA) is a financing agreement where your business receives an upfront lump sum of cash. In return, you agree to repay this advance, plus a fee, through a percentage of your future credit and debit card sales (and sometimes other receivables). Unlike a traditional loan, an MCA is not debt in the typical sense; it’s a purchase of future revenue.
The repayment happens automatically as a small, agreed-upon percentage is remitted from each customer card transaction until the advance is fully repaid. This means that when sales are strong, repayment is faster, and when sales slow down, the repayment amount decreases proportionally, easing the pressure on your cash flow.
Why Choose Éxito Funding for Your Merchant Cash Advance?
Leveraging your future sales for immediate capital should be a simple and transparent process. Éxito Funding is a trusted partner for US businesses seeking flexible MCA solutions.
- Access Capital Exceptionally Fast: MCA is known for speed, and our process is streamlined to get you funds quickly. Once approved, capital can often be in your account within 24-48 hours, allowing you to act fast on opportunities.
- Approval Focused on Revenue: MCA approval is primarily based on your business's consistent sales volume, especially card sales. This makes it highly accessible for businesses with strong revenue but potentially imperfect credit history.
- Flexible Use of Funds: The cash advance can be used for almost any business purpose – inventory, marketing, equipment purchase, renovations, unexpected expenses, or bridging cash flow gaps. The flexibility is yours.
- Repayment Flexes with Your Sales: This is a key advantage of MCA. Repayments automatically adjust based on your daily or weekly sales volume. You repay more when sales are high and less when sales are lower, creating a natural alignment with your cash flow. There are no fixed monthly payments that strain your business during slower periods.
- Simple Application & Qualification: The application process for an MCA is typically simpler than traditional loans, requiring less paperwork and focusing more on your sales history.
- Partnership Focused on Your Success: We take the time to understand your business model and sales cycle to ensure an MCA is a suitable and beneficial funding solution for you.

If leveraging your sales for quick, flexible funding sounds like the right approach, an MCA could be your solution.
Frequently Asked Questions about Merchant Cash Advance (MCA)
An MCA is not technically a loan. It is a purchase of future receivables (your credit/debit card sales) at a discount. Loans typically have fixed terms, interest rates, and payment schedules, while MCA repayment fluctuates with sales volume.
The percentage of each sale remitted (known as the "holdback") and the total amount to be repaid (the advance plus the fee) are agreed upon upfront. Factors influencing these terms include your business’s sales volume, consistency, time in business, and other risk assessments.
The cost of an MCA is expressed as a "factor rate" (e.g., 1.2 or 1.3) rather than an interest rate. You multiply the advance amount by the factor rate to get the total repayment amount. The actual cost depends on how quickly you repay the advance through sales.
There is no fixed term like a loan. Repayment happens as a percentage of your sales. The speed of repayment depends directly on your daily or weekly sales volume. Higher sales mean faster repayment, lower sales mean slower repayment.
MCA is typically unsecured in the traditional sense. Approval is primarily based on your business’s sales performance. However, a personal guarantee from the business owner is often required.
That is the key flexibility of an MCA. On slow sales days, the amount remitted to the provider is smaller, directly corresponding to your lower revenue for that period. This helps ease pressure on your cash flow compared to a fixed daily or weekly payment regardless of sales.
