Frequently asked questions

What is a merchant cash advance?

A merchant cash advance is not a loan. It is an advance against your future credit card sales. You receive a lump sum and repay it by allowing the funding partner to take a fixed percentage of your daily credit card transactions until the advance is paid off.

How fast can a San Diego business get funded?

Many funding partners can provide funds quickly once you are approved and have submitted the required documents. However, timelines vary depending on the partner and your business's specific situation. We recommend asking your matched partner for an estimated timeline.

Does applying affect my credit?

The initial matching process typically involves a soft credit pull that does not affect your credit score. However, funding partners may perform a hard credit inquiry when you formally apply. Check with each partner for their specific process.

Do I qualify for small business funding in San Diego?

Qualification varies by funding partner and product. Common factors include your business's time in operation, monthly revenue, and credit card sales volume. There are no guarantees, but many types of businesses can qualify. Submit a quick form to see what options may be available.

Is this really free, and are you a lender?

Yes, our service is completely free for business owners. Apply for MCA Funding is not a lender, bank, or funding broker. We are a matching service that connects you with vetted, third-party funding partners. You never pay us anything.
