A merchant cash advance (MCA) provides upfront business funding repaid through a small percentage of your daily card takings. Unlike a loan, there are no fixed monthly repayments - you pay more when business is booming and less during quieter periods. Ideal for retail, hospitality, and any business with consistent card revenue.

Typically, businesses can access between 100% and 150% of their average monthly card turnover. So if you process £30,000/month in card sales, you could typically access £30,000-£45,000 in funding.
Repayment rates (called the 'holdback rate') typically range from 10-25% of daily card sales, depending on the lender and your risk profile. This is agreed upfront and remains fixed throughout the advance.
No - a merchant cash advance is a purchase of future revenue, not a loan. There is no fixed term, no APR, and no missed payment risk in the traditional sense. The advance is repaid as your card sales come in.
