Part 11: Merchant Services Advances & Lines of Credit

Welcome to part 11 of our 12 part series – “Tell Me the Best Merchant Solution for My Business.”   In this chapter of our series we will discuss the following questions: “Can I take a line of credit out on my merchant payments?    What does it cost? What does the approval process look like?”

Can I take a line of credit out on my merchant payments? What does it cost?

Yes. Sort of.  Merchant Services advances like Choice Merchant Services Capital for Merchants Program, is not a line of credit yet it operates like one.  Here is how it works:

1. You essentially can received an advances of 1 month of merchant services processing volume.

2. The payback period is typically 4 to 8 months.

3. Most merchants pay back about $1.35 on the dollar over a 6 month period.

What does the approval process look like?

If your business has been in business at least 1 year and has 6 months of processing history you can be fully funded within 3 days of starting to process through Choice Merchant Services partner North American Bancard.  In other words, you get approved and funded within 3 days!  Compare the fast turn around here to a bank when it takes 60 to 90 days to qualify for a line of credit.  The Capital for Merchants program can come in very handy when trying to make payroll, order inventory, buy a business, purchase a property, etc.
