Our verdict

Written and analysed by Smarter Loans Editorial Team · Reviewed by Rafael Rositsan

Best for

Established businesses with $5,000 a month in sales that want a term loan and a line of credit together

Not for

Businesses under a year old

What we like

  • $5,000 monthly revenue requirement is half the category norm, the lowest in the pool
  • 7.99% APR floor is among the lowest available
  • Lends to $800,000 across both a term loan and a revolving line

Where it could improve

  • 12 months trading required, where Driven and Breeze accept 6
  • The APR floor is a best case and depends on the credit profile

Waiting for my loan now

I got a quick approval for the amount that I asked. I was expecting crazy high interest but it was not bad considering I don't have the best credit now. I'll receive my loan in a day hopefully. Thanks Merchant Advance Capital!

Customer Service

Honestly the reason I want to give Merchant Advance Capital five stars is their great customer service.I got the funds, and while the application was similar to other loan providers, the customer service here was amazing.
