A flexible alternative to a bank loan offering an advance on predicted credit / debit card sales.
Merchant Funding is a flexible alternative to a traditional bank loan as it gives you an advance on predicted credit / debit card sales. It’s most suitable for consumer-facing sectors such as outlets, retailers, restaurants, online merchants or businesses with card terminals and visibility on future payment streams; those that might need new furniture, equipment, stock or if you’re looking to refurbish. It’s great for those with seasonal peaks too such as business owners who are in the hospitality industry or more niche seasonal businesses like florists.
Depending on historical sales and future payment streams.
The cost will be based on either an agreed fee or a percentage of sales.
With Merchant Funding you match repayments to your cash-flow i.e. you only make repayments when you receive card payments from your customers. You can typically borrow up to 100% of monthly card sales and it can be used to top up other funding sources e.g. invoice finance.
You do not need a perfect credit record to secure merchant funding but you will need to accept credit/debit cards.
Repayments are often made daily as a share of your sale, i.e. usually a small agreed percentage of daily or weekly card transactions until the revenue advance is paid off.
A personal guarantee – an agreement that means a director takes on a certain level of personal responsibility for the debt through their own finances/assets - is often required when applying for merchant funding.
