What Is an MCA and Why Does It Work?
An MCA is not technically a loan. It is a purchase of your future revenue at a discount. A funder gives you a lump sum today, and you repay through a small percentage of your daily credit card receipts or bank deposits. The repayment adjusts with your revenue, so slow months mean lower payments.
This structure is why MCAs can fund so fast. There is no real estate appraisal. No collateral valuation. The funder is looking at one thing: does your business generate consistent daily revenue?
Who Qualifies for an MCA?
- Minimum 6 months in business – Startups typically do not qualify, but established businesses with revenue history do.
- $10,000+ monthly revenue – The funder needs to see consistent deposits.
- Active business bank account – 3-6 months of bank statements is the primary underwriting document.
- Credit score as low as 500 – Unlike banks that want 700+, MCA funders focus on revenue, not your personal credit history.
How Much Can You Get?
MCA amounts typically range from $5,000 to $2 million, based on your monthly revenue. Most funders will advance 1-1.5x your monthly revenue. If your business does $200K/month, you could qualify for $200K-$300K in a single MCA. Need more? You can stack multiple positions.
