The business environment these days can brutal - to put it mildly. There are times when the sales are great; then there are those times when they’re so-so. You never know when you may need extra cash for an emergency or even if you need cash to purchase merchandise or equipment.

So, what is considered better, a Merchant Cash Advance or a bank loan?

If you choose to get a bank loan, it may be hassle, even if you have good credit.  Many people fail to realize that having blemish-free credit is not an automatic pre-requisite for getting approved for a loan.

For one, you MUST have a great business plan.  Your business plan has to persuade the bank that you are the perfect candidate for a business loan.  With a merchant cash advance, you do not need to submit a business plan.

You just need to prove that you earn a certain amount of money from your credit card transactions.  Your credit card transactions determine the amount that you’re approved for.  Even if you earn a good amount from credit card transactions, doesn’t guarantee approval with a traditional bank. The traditional process of applying for a bank loan can be a gruesome process.

You can avoid the hassle of applying for a business loan by applying for a Merchant Cash Advance.  It works similar to a loan only better because there is less risk for you and the merchant cash advance company that issues you a cash advance.

Lastly, with a bank loan, you have to pay monthly fees whether your business earns profits or not.  Now, with a merchant cash advance, a small percentage is deducted from purchases made from credit cards.
