What it is

It is priced as a factor rate, not an interest rate. Borrow £50,000 at 1.3 and you repay £65,000, taken as an agreed slice of your daily card takings. Quiet month, smaller payment, longer term. Repayments flex directly with trade rather than sitting fixed on a calendar.

It is more expensive than a term loan, and we will say so plainly. If your bank conduct is strong and you can wait a week for a decision, we will tell you to take the loan instead. Merchant cash advance earns its place when speed matters more than headline cost, or when a business cannot evidence income any other way.

Who it suits

  • Hospitality, retail and salon businesses with strong daily card volume
  • Owners who need funds within 72 hours
  • Businesses without the trading history a term loan lender wants to see
  • Seasonal traders who want repayments to track footfall rather than a fixed date
