How today economy is, loans can be a hassle to a nonexistent factor when coming to getting the cash you need to maintain or grow your business. The standard for credit loans has increased to the point that the only people that actually qualify for the loans are the people that really do not “need” the capital per say. Loans consist of having a high credit score, a low debt to income ratio and high revenue in sales. Depending on the willingness to accept terms that includes higher interest rates or higher collateral, might make or break the opportunity for being accepted for the loan itself.

But there is a greater option. Cash advances for small to med size businesses is the alternative if not better source for capital needed to grow businesses. To qualify for a cash advance, one needs to have a brick and mortar store, at least six month of being in business and have a track record of a minimal amount of sales through credit card transactions. There is no credit check and the interest rate is a fixed and flat rate negotiated between the lender and the merchant depending on the longevity of the payments.

Traditional loans have a very strict process for repayment. Payment arrangements are already set with interest included. Fallen behind on payments result to being penalized with interest, on top of the interest already established in the beginning of the agreement, and can also affect your credit score.

A cash advance for a business has less risk. The reason being, the amount of money that is repaid is based on the credit card transactions that are made on a low fixed flat interest rate. Meaning if your company made, let’s say, $100 in a credit card transaction and the fixed flat rate is at about 5% (give or take). The merchant only pays the small percentage that was agreed upon, which would be $5. Now the best part is what if that merchant did not make the consistent credit card transitions as usual with having a bad day, or even a bad month? Then the merchant pays only when money is made because there is no personal liability unlike traditional bank loans. When ones business doesn’t do well in a month the bank doesn’t care. One still has to make that scheduled payment regardless.

Another advantage for the business cash advance is that you can spend the money how ever you like. With business loans, you are under a signed agreement where you will need to spend the funds in ways agreed upon. With the business cash advance, it is untimely up to you.
