Merchant Cash Advance

Funding that moves with your card sales.

Access working capital based on your card turnover, then repay automatically through an agreed percentage of future card takings. When trading is busier you repay more; when it is quieter, repayments slow down with you.

Cash advance funding for small businesses

How it helps

Flexible capital without fixed monthly repayments.

Speed

Funds available quickly after approval.

A straightforward application and upfront quote gives you a faster route to capital for stock, equipment, staffing, refurbishment, marketing, or expansion.

Flexible repayment

Repay as customers pay you.

An agreed split is collected from card transactions until the advance is repaid, helping repayments stay aligned with real trading conditions.

Clear terms

Know the cost before you accept.

The advance amount, repayment split, and total repayable amount are agreed upfront, so there are no hidden interest charges later.

Eligibility

Designed for businesses taking regular card payments.

A merchant cash advance is built around card turnover, so it is most relevant to businesses already accepting card payments through a terminal or online payment setup.

Accepting credit or debit card payments

Regular card payment history

Monthly card turnover from around £2,500

Sole traders, partnerships, LLPs, and limited companies considered
