Merchant Cash Advance aka 'MCA' transaction: a business sells a % of their future revenue for cash today. The merchant could be funded within hours. It's expensive; $100k net to merchant pays back $142k within 6 months or less. In 2008, banks stopped lending and MCA grew from $1.5B then to over $9B today. It's estimated the industry will grow to over $16B over the next few… · More years.
