Credit Card Advance

Business and personal use are the two main types of credit card advances.

The personal type ranges from cash amount of 100 to 1000 dollars and are being paid back within a short amount of time such as a month coupled with interest and other small fees. It is usually referred to as a ‘payday loan’.

On the other hand, the business credit card advance type (which is often referred to as merchant loan or business cash advance) is pretty much different from a payday loan.

A merchant loan lender buys a small portion of the your future credit card sales given with a discount which is based upon the amount of credit card sales your business is able to haul in per month. They will then program their system to deduct a percentage of your daily credit sales to pay in advance for your credit card purchases. Because the amount of money is dependent on your daily sales, the payback amount being paid daily differs from day to day. This is called the flexible pay back schedule. By employing this system, you are able to regulate your payment less on slow days and more on days that are busier and haul in a much larger income. The time frame for the payback ranges from 6 to 9 months. Many businessmen use this funding method if they are not able to obtain a loan from a bank or they cannot afford to wait for the time it takes to have a bank loan made.

Credit card advances are more expensive than bank loans but they have perks that outweighs the setbacks. Some of these are as follows:

-People are immediately funded in matter of days instead of waiting for months.

-No collateral items are pawned or left in order to make loans.

-There are no terms or agreements needed on how the borrower chooses to spend the money.

-Lenders will try to look up for credit score but not much weight is given on poor credit history.

Not everyone can avail this type of financing, make sure before applying for one, you are able to comply with the requirements.
