What Is a Merchant Cash Advance – And How to Escape It

A Merchant Cash Advance (MCA) can feel like a lifeline—but it often turns into a financial trap. If you’re paying hundreds or thousands per week, this blog is for you.

What Is an MCA?

An MCA is a fast lump-sum cash advance where repayment happens daily or weekly, directly from your sales. The appeal? No collateral and quick approval.

The downside? Sky-high fees and daily cash flow pressure.

Why MCAs Are So Dangerous

  • They aren’t loans – so there’s little regulation

  • The factor rate (not APR) makes them extremely expensive

  • Daily/weekly withdrawals choke your operating capital

  • Multiple MCAs create a debt spiral
