When to Be Wary of a Credit Card Advance Lender

By: David Castro

A credit card advance can be a great investment for a small business owner. Lenders can supply upfront business financing in exchange for your business' future credit card sales. Credit card advance lenders can generally provide money for small business owners with a short application process, fast approval, and funding can usually occur much more quickly than with a bank business loan. Overall, the experience should be relatively fast and stress-free, but there are some things that should never take place during a credit card advance deal, and if they do, you should consider finding another credit card advance lender.

Collateral

A credit card advance lender should never require a borrower to put up collateral to secure the credit card advance. Lenders do not need collateral because the credit card advance payments are automatically deducted from your business' credit card sales. With a credit card advance, the business is viewed as separate from the borrower's personal finance history. Consequently, a credit card advance should also never affect your personal credit score.

Closing Costs

With some business transactions, certain closing costs are required. These closing costs can sometimes be in addition to the costs that have been previously discussed. During the merchant cash advance process, there should be no surprise costs. Before you agree to your credit card advance, most lenders will thoroughly explain everything involved in the process, from beginning to end. This includes the amount of money that you will be advanced, and your complete payback amount.

Taking a Large Percentage in Monthly Credit Card Sales

When a lender approves a credit card advance, your monthly credit card sales are taken into account. Therefore, a lender should never lend an amount that requires them to take more than 10 percent of your business' gross sales for repayment of the loan. This is inconvenient for the borrower, whose business must be able to survive on the amount of money that is left over.

Requiring Fixed Monthly Payments

One of the benefits of receiving a credit card advance is the needlessness of making fixed monthly payments. Your customers' purchases pay for your credit card advance repayments, leaving you to worry about other aspects of your business instead of stressing to remember to make monthly payments. A credit card advance lender should never require you to make monthly payments in addition to the amount of money that is being deducted from your credit card sales.
