What is a cash advance?

You receive a lump sum payment, which you pay back as a small percentage of your daily card sales—typically between 5% and 30%.

Unlike a traditional bank loan, you don’t need to offer any assets as security. Instead, approval is based on your average card payment earnings, using your latest merchant statements.

This funding helps you grow your business and repay only when you make sales, giving you more flexibility and control over your finances.
