How an advance works

With a merchant cash advance, we purchase a portion of your future receivables and pay you a lump sum upfront. You repay from sales over time, following the schedule set out in your offer. Before you accept, you see the full repayment amount. There is no collateral pledge on equipment or real estate, because the advance is based on the sales your business already generates.

Austin businesses that use advances

Advances tend to fit businesses with frequent deposits. In Austin that often means taco spots and coffee shops along South Congress, bars on Rainey Street, boutique retailers, salons, auto repair shops along the highway corridors, and service businesses in fast-growing suburbs like Round Rock and Pflugerville. Many of them see sales rise with the event calendar and university schedule, then soften during slower weeks. An advance can smooth out those swings.

Business typeHow steady and seasonal your sales are

No tax returns are required, and sole proprietors can apply. The amount offered depends mainly on deposits and existing obligations, from $25,000 to $5,000,000.

Reading your offer

Look at three things before you accept: the amount you receive, the full repayment amount, and how often payments come out. Compare the payment against your slowest recent weeks, not your best ones. If South by Southwest or a home football weekend inflated one month, think about how the schedule feels in a normal month. A smaller advance that fits comfortably is often the smarter choice, and you can ask us to adjust the amount before you sign anything. The decision stays with you, and walking away from an offer that does not fit costs nothing.

When another product fits better

If you want a reserve you can tap repeatedly, a line of credit in Austin may suit you. For a single need with fixed payments, compare working capital loans. Our Texas merchant cash advance page covers the statewide picture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a merchant cash advance a loan?

No. It is a purchase of a portion of your future receivables, repaid from sales according to the schedule in your offer.

What does an advance cost?

Costs vary by business. Your offer shows the full repayment amount before you accept, so you can decide with the numbers in front of you.

Can I qualify with a lower credit score?

FICO scores from 500 are considered. Deposits and existing obligations also weigh heavily.

Do slow summer weeks hurt my chances?

Seasonality is part of the review, not an automatic problem. We read the full three months of statements to understand your pattern.
