The Beauty Of Being Able To Get Your Hands On Cash Quickly

Canadian business owners who have taken advantage of the opportunity to get merchant cash advances are all aware of the many benefits that come with the alternative funding source. In addition to not having a repayment schedule and being able to avoid accruing interest rates, one of the most heralded benefits of merchant cash advances is that they can be received in a relatively short period of time.

At Synergy Merchants, “relatively short” means within 24 hours! It’s unlikely that you’ll come across another source of extra working capital that works that quickly. We’re very well aware of the importance to Canadian merchants of getting their hands on cash fast. Especially when an emergency situation arises, it pays (literally) to be able to get money expeditiously and without hassle.

Why is the bank loan process one that takes so long? Well, it’s important to remember that the process of getting a bank loan is a far different than the process of getting a merchant cash advance. For a loan, a borrower needs to have his/her credit score checked, put up collateral and devise a detailed business plan to explain to the lender just how he/she intends on making the money back in order to repay the loan. In many cases, the process can take weeks – sometimes months!

Jordan Blakley of California-based PennyMac Loan Services, which specializes in mortgages, explains that there are many hurdles to be overcome during the course of a loan application. “During loan processing, your application will pass through the hands of 20 mortgage professionals, at least!” he reveals, “And with so many people handling your application, it’s easy for processing to get backlogged.”

Blakley also goes on to note that there are usually many different people vying for loans at the same time. Especially when interest rates are low, this will create a traffic jam of applications. Keep in mind, as well, that there are many points of verification that lenders have to address. Banks need to feel confident that the money they lend will be returned to them. Therefore, they have to assess the risk of lending the money to their borrowers.

“Remember, lenders need to fully assess a borrower’s risk before choosing to approve or deny a loan request,” says Blakley, “Among others, this means verifying employment with managers, obtaining mortgage history from credit bureaus, and acquiring rental records from previous landlords. Confirming this information can take time – especially if your references are difficult to contact or less than cooperative.”

What makes the merchant cash advance application process so much quicker? Take everything you know about loan applications and throw it out the window!

Your advance is predominantly based on your average monthly sales amounts.
