FAQs

How can a merchant cash advance be used?

An MCA can be used to cover immediate cash flow needs like covering payroll, stocking inventory, purchasing equipment, or covering unexpected expenses. Additionally, it can be used as a working capital loan to help with day-to-day operational costs or to invest in long-term growth.

Can I get a merchant cash advance with bad credit?

Yes, it is possible to get a merchant cash advance with bad credit, but it’ll definitely be more difficult than if you had good credit. Many, but not all, lenders require a minimum credit score to be eligible for an advance. Additionally, those with bad credit may have higher interest rates or fees associated with their merchant cash advance.

What happens if you don’t pay a merchant cash advance back?

If you don’t pay back a merchant cash advance, the lender will still pursue you via collection agencies and/or by filing a lawsuit. Depending on the terms of the loan, they may also be able to take action against your business, such as freezing accounts, seizing assets, or placing liens on the property. As a result, it’s important to ensure you can make all necessary payments on time and in full, and never sign an MCA contract you’re not comfortable with.

What should you do if you’re involved in a merchant cash advance lawsuit?

If you’re involved in a merchant cash advance lawsuit, you need to contact an experienced attorney promptly. An attorney can help you understand your legal rights, assess the merits of the lawsuit, and provide guidance on how to respond. Depending on the circumstances, your attorney may be able to negotiate a settlement, or if necessary, litigate the case.
