I’m with you. Seriously, who wants to deal with red tape?

Real Answers
So then, what’s the best way to finance my business?
Each business has to make their own decision about what’s the best route for them.
Many are choosing merchant account cash advances as the best source of funding right now for a few reasons. Consider this...
- There are so many loan products available but lenders are getting tighter and tighter with their money.
- Extensive documentation requests and strict underwriting are only making it more difficult for business owners to qualify.
- On the other hand, the credit crunch is barely affecting merchant cash advances?
Why not? Because as long as people are in business and accepting credit cards, merchant advance providers are willing to pay.
Not to mention that they tend to be more open and free with advancing their money as long as they feel confident that the credit card sales will keep coming.
What is the easiest, fastest, most efficient way to get the money I need?
Easy…
In comparison to traditional loans merchant account cash advances are way easier.For instance, for an SBA, commercial, hard money, or bank loan, the following would likely be requested just to get pre-approved. This doesn’t include the documents lenders may request after their initial review.
- Personal financial statement
- Personal tax returns for last 2-3 years
- Business tax returns for last 2-3 years
- Business plan(s)
But with merchant cash advances, these are all examples of paperwork that’s not required.
Qualifying for a merchant account cash advance is like child’s play in comparison. The paperwork these providers require is simple…
- A lease or mortgage statement
- Bank statements for past 3 months and
- Merchant processing statements for the past 3-4 months.
There is a caution here. After their initial review and pre-approval, providers will likely request more documents such as...
- The Business license
- Proof of ownership of the business (may use a tax return) and
- A year to date profit and loss statement.
All these still pale in comparison to the detailed documentation requests and red tape of traditional business loans.
Also, credit score is not a big underwriting factor.
The provider gets the money back directly by means of the credit card processing. Hence, they don’t need to worry so much about if you pay your bills on time.
Instead, their primary concern is that you’ll stay in business and keep accepting credit cards.
Customers want to purchase with credit cards anyway.
When you start to accept credit cards, it usually boosts sales immediately. People learn they can enjoy the convenience of not having to carry cash to your business. They spread the word and more customers head over to purchase your products or services.
Fast...
It’s one of the only ways you can get as much as $250,000 in less than 10 days and in some cases less than 5 days.
10 days is from application to close. Not from pre-approval to close.
This distinction is important because although lenders for traditional loans may claim they can close in 30-45 days, it’s often not until 60-90 days that a closing actually takes place if you count from application to close.
When you need money, you need it now. You likely cringe at 30 days let alone 90 or more!!!
So the expedient 5-10 day window of the merchant account cash advance is extremely appealing to practically every business owner we know.
In fact, if you find a program faster than that, please Contact Us at the Business Loan Express page and let us know. Because we haven’t seen to date any type of business financing that’s quicker.
Efficient...
Once you establish a relationship with a provider, you can
- get another advance
- as often and
- as quickly
- as you can pay the previous one back
- without having to re-apply!
This is more efficient than an unsecured line of credit because the monthly payments don’t go up just because you used the money.
It’s definitely more efficient than a secured business loan where there often isn’t a revolving line available at all.
Plus, since there's no personal guarantee required, you get to keep your precious assets and your valuable credit score even if the business fails.
You can constantly use this flow of money to finance and refinance and refinance again. All without paying excessive fees.
You’ve already established a rate, and as long as the provider feels comfortable that you’ll be in business they’ll re-advance your account.
You may even qualify for a lower rate if you…
- Request it
- Maintain a good relationship with your merchant provider and
- Increase your monthly credit card sales
Here's the caution though,
There is a price to pay for all the benefits of a merchant account cash advance.
The cost can be more expensive than traditional forms of financing when you add up the all of the money the provider charges on the discount rate, equipment and fees.

It creates a win for three parties...
- You,
- Your customers, and
