The Opportunity
Merchant cash advances are filling a growing gap in financial markets. North American banks have recently tightened their lending practices.
The result: many fundamentally strong businesses owned and operated by creditworthy individuals are unable to get the funding they need.
Financial Returns
The fee charged by funding providers (the value of the discount at which the
future debit/credit card sales are purchased) typically ranges from 15%-40% of the value of the advance, with estimated repayment within 4-12 months.
Since merchant cash advances are paid down on a daily basis, funding providers receive immediate cash flow for reinvestment, further boosting returns and enhancing their liquidity. As a result, net annual returns in the industry are approximately 15% after taking into account the costs of doing business and bad debt expenses.
Typical Advance
An owner of a restaurant which processes approximately $30,000 of debit/credit card sales per month receives a merchant cash advance of $23,000 in exchange for $30,000 worth of future debit/credit card sales collected using a 10% withholding. Merchant Advance Capital then withholds 10% of all debit/credit card transactions until it receives $30,000, which in this example would take approximately 10 months. Once the restaurant owner has repaid a significant portion of the payback amount, he is eligible for a renewal. The owner personally guarantees the $30,000 and the advance is collateralized against the assets of the business. 8
