The merchant cash advance was created to provide small business owners with an alternative method of business financing. It can be very conducive and can promote business growth and development, if used correctly. Most merchant cash advance lenders set no restrictions on how a small business owner can use a merchant cash advance, but this is under the assumption that the business owner will use the funds to build his/her business.
Using a merchant cash advance for personal pleasure, or even personal emergencies can put a small business in jeopardy and ruin its future.
Below are a few examples of how not to use a merchant cash advance.
Take a Family Vacation
Your business is doing great, your credit score is high and you qualify to receive a $25,000 merchant cash advance. This money could buy you plane tickets, extended hotel stay, transportation and leave you with a couple of extra dollars in spending money for a summer vacation for your family of five.
Taking a merchant cash advance and using the money to finance such as trip may sound like a good idea, and you may even have two weeks of great fun, but what about the consequences? Are you willing to risk your small business’s success for a two-week vacation?
While you are out vacationing, a percentage is being deducted every time a customer swipes his/her credit card for the purchase of a product or service at your business. Since the merchant cash advance is not being used to improve your business, you will not be gaining money by receiving the merchant cash advance, you will not even break even. You will actually be losing money.
Buy The Dress/Suit You’ve Been Wanting
I will admit I am as much of a slave to fashion as the next person is, maybe even more. But when it comes down determining priorities, I know what things are most important to me and when it is not a good idea to make a clothing or accessory purchase.
Say you had an important business meeting coming up or you were planning to attend an important business conference. Then, after making these plans, you realized you did not have the appropriate attire for the events. Your options are one; miss the events and forego multiple business opportunities, or two; buy an outfit or two in order to attend the events. In this case, spending merchant cash advance funds would actually help to improve your business and your purchase could be use for future events as well.
On the other hand, simply making random personal purchases with business funds is not beneficial to any small business.
Buy Christmas Gifts
Do you think your friends and family would rather receive lavish Christmas gifts and watch your business suffer or receive something inexpensive and know that you are financially sound and your business is not in jeopardy? Most family and friends would choose the latter of the two, and so should you.
The idea of the merchant cash advance is to use it to make even more money. You should look at a merchant cash advance as an investment. If your merchant cash advance is not going to be used to make more money for your business, than you should not use one. But, if you have a plan for the funds, it can be a very lucrative business move. The percentage that is deducted from future credit card sales is small and virtually unfelt.
Business Loan Solutions
Statistics show that 94.7% of all small business owners feel their only financial resources are their local banks or personal credit cards... even though their local banks often require them to pledge their personal homes & land as collateral.
Here are some tips that can save your business, regardless of your personal credit history.
First of all, getting approved for a small business loan is definitely easier than getting personal loans... regardless of your personal credit scores. Additionally, getting the right types of corporate credit is absolutely critical: if you want to protect your personal assets, minimize the risk of a personal lawsuit affecting your business, and to your ability to weather the economic changes that happen overnight.
All business owners must be much more proactive about developing relationships with the right types of lending institutions. You usually want to start your application process with out-of-state, national lenders... not your local or regional banking institutions. National lenders typically won't require a personal guarantee or your social security number.
I've attached a basic roadmap you'll need to follow, if you need a small business startup loan, a business debt consolidation loan, a bad credit business loan, or a government business loan.
Ultimately, you need to find a competent professional that can help you navigate through the process of building a strong corporate credit rating.
Finding a competent business loan expert will give you a head start on your competition & also let you focus on running your day-to-day activities... instead of dealing with the hassles of establishing a strong business credit rating. An excellent business credit score can help your company's image, overnight.
You need to prepare yourself with these very basic questions, before you apply for any business credit.
1. How is your business structured? Is it a sole proprietorship, C-corporation, S-Corporation, Limited-Liability Corporation (LLC), Partnership, or Trust?
2. How long has your business been recognized by your State & Local government?
3. Has your company ever had derogatory information reported against it to either of the two (2) most popular business credit reporting agencies, Dun & Bradstreet or Experian?
4. Are your company permits, licenses and registrations current?
5. Does your business have a physical address, or are you trying to use a U.S. Post Office Box instead?
6. Is your business telephone number recognized by directory assistance?
7. Are your incoming telephone calls professionally answered in your business name?
8. Have you established a business checking account?
9. Have you registered & asked for an Employer Identification Number (also known as an EIN) from the IRS?
If your answer to the first question was a sole proprietorship, partnership or trust; I urge you to re-establish your company as a corporation or LLC. I'm not going to provide you with legal advice, but many CPAs and attorneys highly recommend LLCs (Limited Liability Corporations) as a way of protecting your personal assets & estate... in the event of any lawsuits being filed against your company.
As a sole proprietor, your personal assets are at direct risk of seizure or forfeiture when faced with most types of legal action. Additionally, if you are applying for business loans in a corporation's name... most lending institutions will not require you to provide any personal guarantee!
A corporation can still face difficulties applying for business credit, if it has been in business less than 2 years or had previous credit problems reported against it. Here are some ways to fix these problems.
- Purchasing a "shelf corporation" or "aged corporation" that's been in good standing with your State government (for longer than 2 years) can drastically improve your chances for small business loan approval.
- You can attempt to repair your business credit rating by writing dispute letters to Experian or Dun & Bradstreet, which isn't always possible.
- Some corporate credit experts will help you find, select & purchase an established "shelf" or "aged" corporation, some of which already have strong credit ratings established... saving you alot of hassles!
I cannot stress this enough... you MUST have a physical address (not a PO Box) if you want to establish a solid business credit rating. The same thing is said for telephone numbers & the way incoming phone calls are handled. Would you lend money to a company that does not appear to have a physical address or documented telephone number?
And, don't forget to always keep your small business permits, licenses & registrations current... and always keep copies of these documents in case a potential lender asks for this information.
Business checking accounts are a must. Again, this proves stability to your potential lenders. Here are a couple of tips for you, in case you've had any checking accounts closed by a financial institution. Pay off the outstanding balance (if any) that's being reported by the bank, or open a checking account at a bank or credit union that doesn't use the ChexSystems credit reporting system. Most credit unions don't use ChexSystems, and you can always find a list of banking institutions in your area that don't use ChexSystems... by simply doing a search on Google, Yahoo or MSN.
Small business credit ratings are tracked using your business name, business address and employer identification number (EIN). You can apply for & receive an EIN at the IRS's website (irs.gov). You can also call the IRS, but be prepared for long waits.
Then you'll want to obtain a D-U-N-S number from Dun & Bradstreet, the largest business credit reporting agency. You can apply for this without any fees at Dun & Bradstreet's website (dnb.com), and you'll usually receive this number within thirty (30) days. Do not apply for this number until you've prepared your self thoroughly, because any information you give to them... goes into your credit file... permanently.
After you've obtained your D-U-N-S number, you're probably ready to start establishing some vendor credit. Vendor credit is where many business owners start establishing business credit ratings. Simply go to staples.com, officemax.com or officedepot.com to get started. Then, you'll also need to fax your business telephone bill & the credit application to them... on your business letterhead (which you can create using your favorite word processing software if you don't have expensive stationery). They usually don't require any personal guarantees (if you've followed the outline above), and you'll usually receive a starting credit line of $750.
This is critical & I repeat... critical! Always pay your invoices before the grace periods begin... especially on unsecured credit cards or vendor credit lines. Dun & Bradstreet will lower your credit score for every day a creditor reports your bill as unpaid while you're within your grace period. Whereas, personal credit scores are not lowered unless you are 30+ days past your due date.
Dun & Bradstreet reports what's known as a Paydex score (your corporate credit score), and a score of 80 is very good... with 100 being the highest score you can achieve. Your Paydex score is issued once you've established a known vendor/credit relationship with at least five (5) creditors.
There are shortcuts that will help you get much more than $750 alot faster. When using a business credit expert, most small business owners (even startups) can be approved for vendor credit lines of $25,000-$50,000 and open credit lines of $50,000, $250,000, $500,000 or more... in as little as 45-60 days... by using their knowledge of the application process & "shelf" corporations.
Now, it's your choice. Are you going to go against the grain & try to establish business credit on your own (which could prove costly to your business health, growth & survival)? Or, will you choose to utilize a corporate credit expert... allowing you to remain focused on your daily business needs?
Most business owners make the mistake of trying to do this on their own... usually trying to find grants, investor "angel" money, or falling back onto the "personal credit card sword". Don't be a casualty like the rest. Learn more about how you can use the tools that informed, educated millionaire businessmen have used for years.

Business Cash Advance Strategies - Problems to Avoid
One of the most important commercial financing needs for any business is ensuring that short-term cash requirements are successfully met. This is frequently a difficult task. Even thriving small businesses frequently need more cash than they can borrow from a bank. The use of a viable business cash advance strategy has become an increasingly important commercial financing tool for many businesses faced with a potential short-term cash shortfall. However, as noted below there are a number of potential problems to be anticipated and avoided when businesses seek a business cash advance.
USING CREDIT CARD RECEIVABLES
One of the least-known commercial financing strategies for small businesses is potentially the best strategy to quickly obtain needed cash for growing their business. This commercial financing strategy uses an under-utilized business asset (credit card receivables) to obtain a business cash advance based upon a merchant's sales volume. A business cash advance typically varies from $5,000 to $300,000. Small businesses will frequently benefit from converting future cash flow into immediate working capital. The most likely candidates to benefit from this business cash advance strategy are restaurants, bars, service businesses and retail stores.
CREDIT CARD FACTORING
This strategy is also known as "credit card factoring". Many small businesses have relied upon a commercial financing strategy called "receivables factoring" which allows them to sell their future receivables at a discount. Most small businesses cannot adequately document their receivables in order to qualify for this kind of commercial financing. Many other small businesses (such as restaurants, bars, service businesses and retail stores noted above) simply do not have such receivables to rely upon as a commercial financing tool.
What these businesses do have in many cases is documented sales volume and documented credit card sales activity. It is this documented level of sales volume and credit card sales activity that becomes a financial asset to the business. Business cash advances up to $300,000 can be obtained based on a merchant's sales volume and future credit card sales.
TEN BUSINESS CASH ADVANCE PROBLEMS AND RECOMMENDED SOLUTIONS
Before employing this strategy, small businesses should realize that there are several recurring potential problems that they need to anticipate.

Use Fast Cash Loans for Your Business
Salaried individuals need to maintain a monthly budget to meet their financial requirements. This is because they have a limited source of income and any unwanted expenses may spoil their whole monthly budget. To assist these individuals in meeting emergencies or any unwanted expenses, the loan providers have evolved a new loan program, know as the fast cash loans. These programs are curved out to assist the individuals during the times of pinch.
These quick cash loans, as their name suggest, offer finances to the loan aspirants within a very short span of time. Usually, these are short term loans which do not require any security to be pledged for their approval. The loan amount approved is usually very small in comparison to the other loan options, but would be sufficient enough to meet the exigencies of the borrower. These finance options actually bridge the cash gap for the borrowers. As the loan providers do not carry any credit check of the borrower, bad credit borrowers can also apply for the fast cash personal loans.
Though the amount is approved without any security, some of the lenders ask for a post dated check containing the borrowed amount along with the processing fees. The financiers withdraw the borrowed amount, when the repayment term is over.
By having these loans, a person can avail the loan amount between the range of 100 to 1500 $. In addition, loan period ranges from fourteen to thirty one days. The paying-off period is sufficient enough to repay the entire loan amount. With the help of the borrowed sum, the borrowers can easily cover the expenses on medical and other utility bills, car repair, home repair, paying school fees and so on. The rates of interest are slightly higher because of the short repayment period and the unsecured nature of these loans.
To avail the fast cash personal loans, the borrower has to fulfill certain requirements. One such requirement is that the borrower should be suitably employed with a regular source of income. He must also have an active bank account number and his or her age should be more than 18 years.
After the verification processes, the loan amount gets transferred within a period of twenty-four hours. This is done to provide immediate relief to the borrower so that he can attend to his urgent needs. In addition, the online request also helps the borrower to instantly avail the money for his immediate needs. However, before availing the loans, compare their quotes to get better deals on the loan plans that are available to the borrowers. The fast cash loans give instant access to money to the loan seekers who have an urgent need for cash.

Fast Cash Loans
If you are running low on cash and you fear that you won’t be able to make ends meet, you can always resort to fast cash loans to cover for your lack of cash problem till your next payday. These loans are excellent emergency tools that can be approved immediately as well as credited right away too. Thus, they are the perfect financial solution for these kinds of problems.
If something unexpected happened and you need money quick, Fast Cash Loans can save your day. In less than 24 Hs. you can have fresh cash deposited into your bank account and there are no harsh requirements that you need to meet in order to get approved for a fast cash loan. Approval is almost a certainty.
Loan Amount You Can Get
Due to the high risk involved in these transactions for the lender, they keep the loan amounts to low figures. You can get any amount within a certain range that usually goes from $100 to $2000. There are loans offered for higher amounts but these loans require some sort of credit verification or a credit history with the financial institution that can be verified (pre-approved personal loans are an example of these).
Nevertheless, emergencies are supposed not to imply higher amounts than a couple of thousands and given that the costs of these loans are high, if you need further financing you should always resort to other, cheaper loans. Otherwise, your budget would suffer a lot and you may end up falling into a vicious circle of debt.
Repayment Programs Available
As regards repayment, there are two types of fast cash loans that work differently. Pay day loans are due at your next pay day and thus, don’t have monthly or weekly payments. You need to cover for the principal plus the interests by the day your pay day check arrives. Otherwise you’ll need to pay the interests and refinance the principal.
Cash Advance Loans, on the other hand, offer monthly installments so you can repay the loan within a longer repayment program. Nevertheless, these programs are short compared to personal loans repayment schedules and will never exceed a twelve months period. Usually, you can consider yourself lucky to get more than three months to repay a cash advance loan.
The Costs Of Fast Cash Loans
Fast Cash Loans are probably the most expensive financial products of the loan industry. Yet, there is a very good reason for this. Fast cash loans do not require credit checks at all. Thus, the lender doesn’t really know what he is getting into by lending to someone whose credit report he ignores.
He must then assume the worst and the risk associated with this kind of transaction is high enough to justify the high rates and fees charged for approval. Nevertheless, as long as you don’t make it a habit to resort to this kind of tool, applying for fast cash loans under an emergency is useful and affordable. You just need to make sure to put aside some money every month into a savings account so the next time you need funds for an emergency you can avoid using fast cash loans.
Working Capital For Your Business
Do you own a business? If you are like most business owners, you probably have a lot of responsibilities. First and foremost, you have to meet payroll. Every time. You also need to pay rent and suppliers - on time. All this requires working capital.
However, if you are selling products or services to commercial clients or to the government, you are probably painfully aware that they can take as many as 60 days to pay their invoices. Why? Because if you want their business you have to conform to their terms. There is no other way around it.
But this also leads to an impossible situation. You have bills that need to be paid quickly but customers that want to pay slowly. Unless you have a lot of money in the bank, it’s not a sustainable situation. Sooner or later you’ll miss payroll, delay a supplier payment, or turn a large opportunity away.
The solution is simple. You just need working capital. One way to get working capital is to get a business loan. However, business loans are hard to get and can prove to be inflexible. A better solution is to factor your invoices.
Factoring, or invoice factoring as it is most commonly known, is a type of business financing that is ideal for owners who cannot wait up to 60 days to get their invoices paid. It provides you with the necessary working capital to pay rent, suppliers and meet payroll. And, as opposed to a business loan, factoring is easy to get.
Invoice factoring eliminates the usual 60 day wait to get paid by your customers. The factoring company provides you with an advance on your soon to be paid invoices. In effect, it accelerates your invoices. By accelerating your invoices, you get the working capital you need to run and grow your business. And, unlike a business loan, there are no arbitrary limits. The amount of financing you get is only limited by your sales. If your sales increase, so does your financing.
If you are running a business that is growing – and you can’t afford to wait up to 60 days to get your invoices paid, consider invoice factoring.
