What is a Merchant Cash Advance?
A Merchant Cash Advance (MCA) is not a traditional loan. Instead, it is the purchase of a business’s future receivables. The funding provider purchases a portion of the business’s expected future revenue, and the business repays that purchase through daily or weekly payments based on the agreement.
MCAs are commonly used by businesses that need fast access to working capital without going through the lengthy approval process associated with traditional bank financing.
Learn The Business Behind Merchant Cash Advances
Most Americans are taught how to earn money. Very few are taught how money actually moves through businesses. Funded University was created to change that.
Our mission is to educate entrepreneurs, investors, and ambitious individuals on business finance, cash flow, and one of the fastest-growing sectors in commercial funding: Merchant Cash Advances (MCAs).
