Built on the card reader at your front desk

Most barbershops now take the majority of payments by card, whether it is a fade on a Tuesday or a full Saturday of walk-ins. That steady stream of card sales is exactly what a merchant cash advance is built on. You receive a lump sum now, and it is repaid from a portion of your future card sales.

Because repayment follows sales, a slow week means less goes out, and a packed week means more. For a shop where traffic swings with holidays, back-to-school and prom season, that link to sales is the main appeal.

Is an MCA right for your shop?

It tends to fit when:

It may not be the best fit if most of your clients pay cash, or if you need small amounts on and off throughout the year. In that case, look at a business line of credit for barbershops. We compare the two on our line of credit vs. merchant cash advance page.

What owners use it for

Common uses we see from barbershops:

How the review works

We fund from $25,000 to $5,000,000 for established businesses with steady deposits. You apply in about five minutes and share about three months of business bank statements. We look at card volume, deposit consistency and any obligations you already carry. No tax returns are required, a soft credit pull starts the process, and FICO 500+ is considered. Sole proprietors and booth-rental shop owners can apply.

Your offer shows the full repayment amount before you accept, and funding can arrive in as little as 24 hours for qualified businesses. Start your application.

Sizing the advance

The amount depends mainly on your card and bank deposits and what is already being paid out of the account. For illustration, a three-chair neighborhood shop and a ten-chair shop with a retail wall will see very different numbers even if both owners have similar credit. Ask for what the project costs, not the largest figure you can find.
