Assess Your Funding Needs<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Decide how much capital you need<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">MCAs are short-term.

Research MCA Providers<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Check eligibility and practices<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Look at revenue requirements, time in business, credit checks (soft or hard), and how repayment is structured.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>3. Gather Business Documents<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Get your paperwork ready<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">We typically ask for recent bank statements, card sales reports, a government-issued ID, and a voided check.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>4. Submit an Application<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Apply online or by phone<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Applications take 3 to 10 minutes. You\u2019ll enter business info, revenue, and contact details.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>5. Wait for a Decision<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Get pre-approved or declined<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">We review your application using real-time data, then follow up with a manual review if you qualify.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>6. Review Your Offer<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Understand the terms<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">We\u2019ll send you a breakdown of the advance amount, factor rate, holdback percentage, and repayment method.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>7.

Set Up Repayment<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Connect your processor or bank<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Once funded, we begin collecting payments automatically through ACH or split processing.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-1-decide-how-much-you-need\">Step 1: Decide How Much You Need<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Start by identifying the specific funding amount your business needs and how quickly you\u2019ll be able to repay it. MCAs are meant for short-term needs like smoothing out cash flow, covering payroll, or acting on time-sensitive opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve seen repayment periods range from 3 to 18 months, depending on the advance size and your sales. Use our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcashadvance.com\/resources\/mca-calculator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MCA calculator<\/a> to estimate your total repayment based on the factor rate.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-2-research-providers-and-check-requirements\">Step 2: Research Providers and Check Requirements<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>We often hear from business owners who applied elsewhere first and were caught off guard by hidden terms or stricter requirements. MCA providers vary widely in how they qualify applicants and structure repayment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s what we look at when reviewing an application:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Monthly revenue of at least $8,000<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Time in business of 6 months or more<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>FICO score of 500 or above<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3 to 6 months of recent bank or merchant statements<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Other providers may ask for more, such as tax returns or a business plan. Some run hard credit pulls, while we stick to soft checks that don\u2019t impact your score. For a full breakdown, check our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcashadvance.com\/resources\/qualification-requirements-for-an-mca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">qualification requirements for an MCA<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-3-gather-your-business-documents\"><strong>Step 3: Gather Your Business Documents<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>To evaluate your application, we\u2019ll ask for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Bank statements (last 4 to 6 months)<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Credit card sales reports (if applicable)<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Government-issued ID<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Voided business check<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Business license, if required for your industry<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These documents help us confirm your revenue and consistency. Submitting them upfront prevents delays during underwriting. See our full list in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcashadvance.com\/resources\/mca-underwriting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MCA underwriting<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-4-submit-the-application\">Step 4: Submit the Application<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Our online application takes 3 to 10 minutes. You\u2019ll enter:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Legal business name and address<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>EIN or SSN (depending on your structure)<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Industry and monthly revenue<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Owner contact details<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>We don\u2019t ask for a business plan. If we need to check your credit, we\u2019ll only do a soft pull. Learn how we handle credit in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcashadvance.com\/resources\/mca-credit-reporting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MCA credit reporting<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-5-preapproval-or-denial\">Step 5: Pre-Approval or Denial<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Once your application is submitted, we start with a real-time pre-check. If the numbers look solid, we\u2019ll move to manual review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At this point, we verify your deposits, check for consistency, and assess your risk profile based on sales volume and industry. If you&#8217;re not approved, we\u2019ll tell you what we can and in many cases, let you know what would help you qualify next time.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-6-review-your-mca-offer\">Step 6: Review Your MCA Offer<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>If approved, we send you an offer that includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Advance amount<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Factor rate<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Holdback percentage or fixed daily ACH<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Estimated repayment duration<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This is not an interest-based product. The factor rate determines your total repayment upfront. For example, an advance of $20,000 with a 1.3 factor rate means you\u2019ll repay $26,000, no more, no less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We explain this in plain terms in our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcashadvance.com\/resources\/mca-offers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MCA offers<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-7-accept-or-decline\">Step 7: Accept or Decline<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ll send the agreement for electronic signature. Before you sign, ask:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Does the contract include a personal guarantee?<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Is there a confession of judgment clause?<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Are there additional fees beyond the factor rate?<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These terms are common in MCA agreements, but they carry real consequences. If something doesn\u2019t sit right, you can negotiate or walk away. Learn more in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcashadvance.com\/resources\/mca-agreements\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MCA agreements<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-8-set-up-repayment-and-get-funded\">Step 8: Set Up Repayment and Get Funded<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Once signed, we usually fund within 1 to 3 business days. In some cases, we offer same-day funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ll connect to your payment processor or business bank account. From there, we collect repayment automatically each day, either as a percentage of sales or as a fixed ACH withdrawal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You don\u2019t need to take action after setup, but make sure your account can support daily activity.
