Advance Rate

The percentage of an invoice’s face value that a factor pays you up front.

✓ Checking what you qualify for does not affect your credit score.

What it means

As explained by Merchant Fund Express: The percentage of an invoice’s face value that a factor pays you up front.

If an invoice is $50,000 and the advance rate is 80%, you receive $40,000 now. The rest, less fees, is released when your customer pays.

Why it matters when you apply

A higher advance rate means more cash today but usually a higher fee. Compare the total dollar cost of the full invoice cycle, not just the advance.
