FundLine Capital is a commercial loan broker, not a lender. Offers are made by the lenders we work with.

How much do you need?Estimate assumes repayment over 9 months. Actual repayment follows your daily card sales, so the timeline varies.

Advances are the fastest capital we place, which is why restaurants and retailers reach for them ahead of a busy weekend.

Fast when it has to be.
Honest about the cost.

An advance is a tool for short, high-return needs. Here is how the ones we place work, and how we keep the cost visible.

Repaid from daily sales

A set holdback, typically 8% to 15% of card receipts, comes off each day's deposits. Sell less, pay less that day.

Approved on revenue

Funders look at three to six months of card processing and bank deposits. Credit scores in the 500s can still qualify.

Factor rate and APR, side by side

A 1.25 factor rate sounds small. We show the APR it implies at your sales pace so you compare it fairly with a loan or line.

Already carrying an advance?

Refinancing may cut the daily hit in half. Many owners with six months of on-time advance payments now qualify for a term loan or line of credit at a fraction of the cost. Your specialist will tell you if you're one of them before placing another advance.

    Apply and connect your processor

    The 15-minute application plus a read-only look at your card-processing and bank history. Most funders decide on that alone.

  2. 2

    Compare the real cost

    Your funding specialist shops the file and shows each offer's factor rate, holdback, estimated payback time and APR on one sheet.

  3. 3

    Accept and fund

    E-sign and funds are wired, often the same or next business day. Holdback starts with your next batch of card sales.

A straight answer on
whether an advance fits.

Advances are expensive capital. Your specialist will tell you when a line of credit or term loan would serve you better, and only place an advance when speed or approval odds make it the right call.

Funded before the weekend

Walk-in freezer died Wednesday. Applied that afternoon, $25K in the account Thursday, new unit installed Friday. Saved the weekend.

Marco

They showed me the APR

Every other broker talked factor rates. FundLine put the APR right next to it. I still took the advance, but I knew the cost.

C. D.

Slow Mondays cost less

Repayment moves with my sales. A slow week means a smaller remittance. That flexibility is why I chose this over a fixed loan.

Elena

Approved with a 580

Two lenders declined me on credit. The advance funder looked at my card sales and said yes the same day.

Ray

Refinanced into a real loan

After eight months of on-time remittances, my specialist moved me to a term loan at a third of the cost. Exactly the plan she laid out.

Yuki

Inventory for the holiday rush

$60K in October for stock, paid back by January from the sales it made. Fast, clear, done.

Merchant cash advance questions, answered

A purchase of a portion of your future card sales at a discount. The funder gives you a lump sum today and collects a fixed percentage of your daily card receipts until an agreed total, the payback amount, is reached. It is technically not a loan, which is why the terms differ.

Advances in our network run from $5,000 to $500,000. Funders typically offer 70% to 120% of your average monthly card sales. A restaurant processing $60K a month might see offers between $40K and $70K.

The multiplier that sets your payback amount. A $40,000 advance at a 1.24 factor rate means you repay $49,600 regardless of how fast you pay. Because there is no interest clock, paying faster does not lower the cost, which is why the equivalent APR can be high.

Factor rates in our network range from about 1.15 to 1.45. Depending on how quickly your sales repay it, that works out to an equivalent APR anywhere from roughly 25% to over 80%. We calculate and show the APR on every offer so the comparison is honest.

Most advances fund within 24 hours of acceptance, and same-day wires are common for applications completed before noon. Opening the file usually takes a few hours once your processor and bank history are connected.

Businesses with at least three to six months of card sales, typically $10,000 or more a month, and no open bankruptcies. Personal credit scores as low as 500 can qualify because funders underwrite the sales, not the score.

Through a holdback: a fixed percentage of each day's card sales, usually 8% to 15%, is remitted to the funder automatically by your processor or by daily ACH. Sell less, remit less that day. Payoff typically lands between four and twelve months.

No. Applying through FundLine does not affect your personal credit score. Most advance funders run only a soft inquiry, and they disclose any hard pull before it happens.

Some funders offer a small discount on the payback amount if you settle early, often within the first 30 to 60 days. Many do not. Your specialist notes it on each offer so you can factor it in.

If you qualify for a line of credit or term loan, those almost always cost less. An advance makes sense when you need money in a day, when credit blocks other products, or when the return on the spend clearly beats the cost. Your specialist will tell you which applies.

Stacking advances is possible but we advise against it: multiple daily holdbacks can quickly exceed what your sales can support. If you already carry one, ask about refinancing into a single product instead.

Qualify for something cheaper?

A business line of credit gives you fast draws with interest only on what you use, at a fraction of an advance's cost.

Bill other businesses instead of card customers?

Invoice financing advances your unpaid B2B invoices at a lower cost than a merchant cash advance.

  1. 1¹ A merchant cash advance is a purchase of future receivables, not a loan. Advance amounts, factor rates and holdback percentages vary by funder and depend on your card-sales history and industry.
  2. 2² Funding speed depends on the funder and on how quickly your card-processing and bank data are connected. Same-day funding is not guaranteed.
  3. 3³ Equivalent APRs are estimates based on your average daily sales and will be higher if the advance is repaid faster or lower if repaid more slowly. Submitting an application to FundLine Capital does not affect your personal credit score.
