Merchant Cash Advances Vs Business Loans
If you are looking for additional capital for your business, the benefits of a merchant cash advance far outweigh those of a traditional business loan. Business loans typically require a lengthy approval process that includes mandatory security requirements. It can take weeks for your business to be approved, let alone for you to see the benefit of this money. Once you do receive the money, there are set repayments, admin charges and late fees to contend with.
However, in direct contrast, a business cash advance offers a number of benefits, including:
- A Fast approval process, we endeavour to approve your application the same day
- Repayments that fluctuate with your monthly income
- Flexible period to make the repayments
- No additional fees for admin or late payments
- See the money in your account in as little as 3 hours (subject to availability)
Choosing The Right Lending For You
It is important when you are considering any form of additional funding that you understand and can meet the terms of the loan. Our merchant cash advance is considered ‘unsecured’ due to the fact that we don’t require any tangible security as a traditional bank would. Therefore, we are able to process you with additional capital in a much shorter period of time, allowing you to balance your cash flow with ease.

FAQ
What is a merchant cash advance?
A merchant cash advance (business cash advance) is an alternative type of funding that allows London businesses flexibility with when and how much they repay each month.
How does a merchant cash advance loan work?
Instead of paying a fixed amount each month, your repayments are proportionate to each month’s processed debit and credit card payments. As this percentage will mirror your business’s peaks and troughs, the stress of borrowing money is significantly reduced.
How does the application process work for business cash advances?
At AptPay, the process couldn’t be easier. All our financial experts require is your average monthly income from processed card transactions and your gross annual income. From these fingers, they will be able to assess your eligibility and, if successful, give you an estimate of how much we can lend your London business.
What requirements does my business need to meet to be eligible for a merchant cash advance?
As long as your London business has been trading with a POS card machine system, or equivalent, for 6 months or more, meeting our minimum turnover threshold of around £5000 per month. If you meet these requirements and do not currently have another business cash advance, get in touch with us today.
Are there any negatives to a business cash advance?
The only downside to a merchant cash advance is that the total quantity you can borrow can be lower than a business loan would offer. As estimates are based on card transactions, your borrowing will be capped on your expected monthly income. However, it can be possible to borrow more than 100% more than your transactions. Our experts will be able to give you a more appropriate quote in relation to your business.
Is there a limit on how much I can borrow through AptPay’s merchant cash advances?
How much you can borrow through our merchant cash advances is dependent on your monthly card transactions. Although, it is possible to borrow 100% more.
How does a merchant cash advance vary from traditional bank loans?
A merchant cash advance is a form of ‘unsecured’ financial lending as it does not require tangible security. Consequently, this type of additional financing can be approved and in your bank account in a matter of days instead of weeks. And, when it comes to repayments, these are flexible in relation to your monthly income, so if you have a quiet month this will be reflected.
How do I repay my merchant cash advance?
When you get paid by your customers or clients, you pay back a proportion of your merchant cash advance. Your percentage will be arranged from your average monthly takings at the time you apply.
How long do I have to repay my business cash advance?
You can back the loan as fast or slow as you are able, depending on the terms set out at the beginning of the agreement.
Can I repay my merchant cash advance in one go?
Of course, there are no additional fees for early repayments. However, it is worth noting that this will not save you any money. Your factor rate is set at the beginning of the agreement and paid regardless of how fast or slow the money is paid back.
Will my credit score be affected by my merchant cash advance?
No, your credit score is not directly affected by a merchant cash advance.
Do I need a good credit score to have a successful merchant cash advance application?
A good credit score is not a requirement for a merchant cash advance. Applications are assessed based on monthly credit card transactions and your London business’s gross annual income.
Do I have to provide security to receive funding through a merchant cash advance?
At AptPay, our merchant cash advances do not require any security. How much you can borrow is decided based on your average monthly income from card transactions in relation to your annual gross income.
