A business that runs on card swipes and weather

Car washes live and die by the forecast. A sunny weekend after a week of rain can be your best stretch of the month, while a long cold snap or a pollen-free spring can flatten volume. Most of that money comes in through card readers at the pay station, the tunnel entrance or a membership app. A merchant cash advance is an advance against those future card sales, with repayment coming from sales as they arrive.

What operators use an advance for

For brushes, dryers, pumps or a tunnel controller, our car wash equipment financing page may be a closer fit.

How an advance is sized

We review about three months of business bank statements. The amount depends mainly on your deposits and the obligations already coming out of the account. Funding ranges from $25,000 to $5,000,000.

For illustration: an express tunnel with steady card deposits and few existing payments might ask for about $70,000 to upgrade its pay stations and stock chemicals for spring. The real figure comes from your statements.

Advance, line of credit or working capital?

An advance works well when card sales are the backbone of your revenue. If you expect repeated, smaller needs, a business line of credit for car washes may suit you better. We compare the two on our line of credit vs merchant cash advance for car washes page.
