Short answer: a Mercier business can be funded. Merchant Fund Express reviews Canadian files from Quebec for merchant cash advances, business cash advances and revenue-based financing. With 14,626 residents at the 2021 Census and 11.5% change since 2016, Mercier is a smaller city in Quebec.
Its largest private employers by sector are health care, retail and manufacturing, which shapes the kinds of files funders see from here.

The census labour-force tables show which industries carry Mercier. The biggest private sectors, against the provincial figures:
| Industry (NAICS) | Mercier | QC |
|---|---|---|
| Health care and social assistance | 15.6% | 14.2% |
| Retail trade | 11.6% | 11.8% |
| Manufacturing | 10.0% | 10.3% |
| Construction | 8.8% | 6.8% |
| Transportation and warehousing | 7.5% | 4.8% |
| Professional, scientific and technical services | 6.0% | 7.9% |
What stands out is transportation and warehousing: 7.5% of local workers, about 1.6 times the Quebec share. Businesses that sell to, supply or serve that sector make up a large part of the local file mix. A second, smaller concentration is construction (8.8% of local workers).
A courier and last-mile delivery firm in Mercier with about $56,000 in monthly deposits takes $45,000 to buy materials for booked jobs at a 1.22 factor rate, for a total payback of $54,900 over about 9 months. That works out to roughly $1,409 a week, or about 11% of monthly deposits; the cost is fixed at $9,900 however quickly it is repaid on schedule.
