Cash advance
A merchant cash advance, or MCA, is not a traditional loan. A funding source advances a lump sum and collects a fixed percentage of your daily card sales until the agreed amount is repaid. On busy days you pay more, on slow days less, since collection follows revenue.
The metric that matters is your monthly card volume, because it drives both how much is available and how quickly repayment moves. Because MCAs carry a distinct cost structure, transparency matters, and we make sure you see it.
Cash advance
MCAs suit card-heavy Prosper businesses that need speed and lack fixed collateral. A quick-service restaurant near the Gates of Prosper that runs steady card traffic through lunch and after Prosper ISD events can align repayment with those daily swipes.
A salon or nail studio in one of Prosper's newer retail strips off US-380 might use an MCA to cover an unexpected equipment failure and repay from the flow of card-paying clients. A boutique fitness studio serving Windsong Ranch members could bridge a slow stretch and let brisk sign-up weeks carry the repayment. Because collection tracks daily receipts, a slower week does not demand the same fixed payment a term loan would.
We take your card-processing profile to multiple funding sources and compare their advance terms. Rather than accepting the first offer, you get each one explained in plain cost terms so you can judge whether an MCA truly fits or another program costs less.
