In plain language

A fixed amount taken from the business account each business day.

The funder withdraws the same amount on every business day regardless of sales. It is simple to track and easy to budget.

Why it matters

Predictability helps planning, but a fixed amount does not flex with revenue.

An example

$62,500 repaid over 126 business days is about $496 a day.

What to watch for

In practice for Canadian businesses

Daily debits are common in Canada, usually on business days only.

Questions to ask

In a file review

A daily debit is read as a fixed obligation, so the question is how it behaves on the slowest day of the week. A funder looks at Mondays and the days after holidays to see whether the balance is comfortably above the debit. If it is not, a weekly or percentage structure may suit better.

A common misreading

A daily debit is sometimes mistaken for a daily interest charge. It is a slice of the fixed payback, taken in equal parts.
