Merchant Cash Advance.
Revenue-based working capital for operating businesses. Same-day approvals, funding in as little as 24 hours, and no collateral or perfect credit required.
Overview
Merchant Cash Advance, structured for institutional placement.
A merchant cash advance is a revenue-based form of working capital. Rather than a fixed monthly payment, repayment is tied to a fixed percentage of your daily or weekly deposits — automatically scaling with your business volume. Summit places advances with direct funders across our network, structuring multiple offers so you can compare cost, holdback, and term before committing.

Frequently Asked
Questions on merchant cash advance.
How fast can I receive an MCA?+
Most approvals happen the same business day. Funding is typically wired within 24 to 72 hours after acceptance of terms, depending on bank verification.
Will an MCA hurt my credit score?+
Initial review uses a soft pull and does not affect your credit. A hard inquiry may be run by the chosen funder only after you select an offer and proceed to closing.
What is a factor rate?+
A factor rate (e.g. 1.25) is the total repayment multiplier on the advance amount. A $100,000 advance at 1.25 repays $125,000 in total over the term.
Can I qualify with bad credit?+
Yes. MCA underwriting focuses on revenue consistency and bank deposit health rather than credit score. Owners with credit as low as 500 are routinely approved.
Can I have more than one MCA at a time?+
Yes — stacking is possible. Summit reviews existing advances and structures consolidations or top-ups so total holdback remains sustainable.
