A sales-based option for a sales-driven city

A merchant cash advance gives your business a lump sum in exchange for a share of future sales. It is not a traditional loan, and that difference is why it shows up so often in New Orleans: kitchens, bars, boutiques in the French Quarter and Magazine Street shops tend to run on card sales that rise and fall with tourism and the local calendar.

When an advance makes sense

An advance tends to fit owners who have consistent sales and a specific use in mind. Examples we hear:

It is less of a fit if sales are falling with no recovery in sight. We would rather tell you that than fund something that strains your account.

What we review

We consider FICO 500+ and start with a soft credit pull. The bigger factor is your business bank account: about three months of statements showing how steady your deposits are and what obligations already come out. No tax returns are required, and sole proprietors can apply. Funding ranges from $25,000 to $5,000,000, with the amount depending mainly on those deposits and existing obligations.

How repayment follows your sales

Because an advance is tied to your sales, the repayment structure is spelled out in your offer before you accept. Take a few minutes with it. Look at how repayment lines up with your slowest stretch of the year, not just your best month. For illustration, a po-boy shop that does most of its volume from fall through spring should picture how the schedule feels in late August. If it feels tight, ask for a smaller amount. Sizing the advance to your quiet months, rather than your busiest weekend, is one of the simplest ways to keep it manageable.

Knowing your cost before you commit

Every offer shows the full repayment amount and how the repayment schedule works before you accept. Nothing gets added after you sign. If an advance does not look right after you see the numbers, working capital or a line of credit may suit you better. Ready to see your number? Apply here.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a merchant cash advance a loan?

No. It is an advance against future sales. You receive a lump sum and repay it from your sales according to the schedule in your offer.

How is the advance amount decided?

Mainly by your monthly deposits and what you already owe. Three months of bank statements give us that picture.

My business slows down in summer. Can I still apply?

Yes. Seasonal swings are common in New Orleans. We look at your deposit history across those months, so share statements that reflect your normal pattern.

How soon can the funds arrive?

Decisions move fast, and qualified businesses can be funded in as little as 24 hours.

Do I need strong credit?

We consider FICO 500+. Credit is one input, and your sales history carries a lot of weight.
