WHAT IS A "CASH ADVANCE?"


A Business Advance Cash Advance is a radically different way to fund your business.

We employ a special process called "factoring," which is when one company usually sells its accounts receivable to another company at a discount. Business-Advance.com turns its attention to your future credit card transactions as a form of payment: we have developed a close relationship with a merchant service to completely streamline the process.

You only pay off your Business Advance when you make credit card transactions, so there is no fixed payment schedule. This approach has the least impact on your business, since repaying is handled electronically and only when you bill a client - we get paid only when you do.

We can give you the Business Advance in just a few days, making an immediate impact on your business so you can grow your company as quickly as possible.
