    Merchant cash advance in Newcastle upon Tyne.

    Newcastle is the retail and nightlife capital of the North East, from the grand curve of Grey Street and Grainger Town through to the packed bars of the Bigg Market and the Quayside. Eldon Square and Northumberland Street keep the till ringing for fashion and independent retailers, while Jesmond, Gosforth and the Ouseburn carry a huge weight of restaurants, cafes and late bars serving students and city-centre workers. Businesses like these take a large share of their income on card, which is exactly where a merchant cash advance fits. It advances an agreed lump sum up front, then repayment comes as a set share of your daily card takings, so quieter midweek trade costs you less and busy weekends clear the balance faster. There are no fixed monthly instalments to find when footfall dips. The amount you can raise is guided by your recent card turnover, and the total is a fixed cost agreed at the outset. Merchant Business Loans arranges this commercial finance rather than lending itself.

    How a merchant cash advance works.

    A merchant cash advance (MCA), also called a PDQ cash advance or card machine loan, gives your business an upfront lump sum repaid as a small percentage of your daily card takings. There is no fixed monthly repayment and no interest rate, just one fixed cost agreed upfront. MCA is unregulated commercial finance, business-to-business, and is unsecured against business assets. Most lenders ask for a personal guarantee from a director.
