Built for businesses that run on daily sales

Philadelphia has a deep bench of independent businesses: corner restaurants, neighborhood bars, salons, auto shops, boutiques on Passyunk and in Old City, and food vendors around Reading Terminal and the stadiums. Many of them take most of their revenue by card. A merchant cash advance turns that sales history into a lump sum you can use now, repaid from future revenue on the schedule in your offer.

How we look at a Philly business

We read your bank statements for consistency. A cheesesteak shop that slows in late winter and spikes during football season, or a bar near the universities that drops off over summer break, is not a red flag on its own. What matters is the overall pattern of deposits and the obligations you already carry. That is also what drives the amount, which starts at $25,000.

We consider FICO 500+, and sole proprietors can apply.

Typical uses

Before you sign, run the numbers

An advance is a tool, and like any tool it fits some jobs better than others. It works well when the money goes toward something that brings revenue back in, like a new oven that lets you add a lunch service or holiday stock you know will move. It is a weaker fit for covering losses with no plan behind them. Look at the full repayment amount in your offer, look at the repayment schedule, and ask whether your sales can carry it comfortably during your slowest stretch, not just your best month. If the answer is not clear, a smaller amount or a different product may serve you better, and we will talk that through with you.

We also look at what you already owe. If you have other financing running, list it on the application so the offer reflects your real cash flow and does not stretch you thin.
