Follow one month of cash, week by week

The easiest way to see where a merchant cash advance fits is to follow a month. The numbers below are invented and for illustration only. They describe a hypothetical service business with a payroll of two weekly runs.

WeekCash goes outCash comes in
1Rent, insurance, first payrollCustomer payments from invoices sent a month ago
2Supplier bills, vehicle costsA few small payments
3Second payroll, quarterly obligationsOne large customer pays late
4New materials for the next jobPayments from the first two weeks of work

The trouble is week three. The business is healthy and still short. A revenue-based advance fills that hole without requiring a lender to look at a piece of collateral. We fund $25,000 to $5,000,000, and funding can arrive in as little as 24 hours.

The region behind the example

The Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos metropolitan statistical area is a five-county area in Central Texas, on the western edge of the American South and the eastern edge of the American Southwest. It borders Greater San Antonio to the south and forms part of the larger San Antonio-Austin Metroplex. The 2020 census counted 2,352,426 people there, making it the 25th-largest metropolitan area in the United States.

Our grouping reaches wider than that metro. It includes Bastrop, Bell, Burleson, Burnet, Caldwell, Coryell, Falls, Freestone, Hays, Lampasas, Lee, Limestone, Llano, McLennan, Milam, Mills, Robertson, Travis and Williamson counties. The grouping is editorial, built from public regional definitions, and is not an official state region.

A fair look at the limits

An advance is not free money, and it is not for every business problem. If a business is unprofitable at the current level of costs, extra cash may only postpone the problem. If the gap is a timing issue, such as slow-paying customers or a seasonal dip, it can be the right tool. Be honest with yourself about which one you are looking at.

What an advance is, and what it is not

A merchant cash advance is working capital tied to revenue. It is not a bank loan, and it is not a line of credit. The specifics of an offer, including repayment, are in the offer itself. We do not publish rates or terms on this page, so read the offer carefully before you accept.

Who tends to look at it first

Businesses with uneven receipts

Catering, event services, trades and professional services often bill in lumps and pay costs in a steady stream.

Businesses with a time-limited opening

A lease on a second location, a bulk inventory discount or a fast-moving hiring window can disappear while a slower financing process runs.

Sole proprietors

Sole proprietors can apply. A one-person landscaping, design or repair business should not have to incorporate first.

Before you apply

  • Pick the amount from the gap, not from the maximum.
  • Know your quarterly payroll and tax calendar so no due date surprises you.
  • Decide how you will cover the repayment if one month is lighter than planned.

The application takes about five minutes and starts with a soft credit pull. Start on the apply page.
