Financial Returns The fee charged by funding providers (the value of the discount at which the

future debit/credit card sales are purchased) typically ranges from 15%-40% of

the value of the advance, with estimated repayment within 4-12 months.

Since merchant cash advances are paid down on a daily basis, funding providersreceive immediate cash flow for reinvestment, further boosting returns and

enhancing their liquidity.

As a result, net annual returns in the industry are approximately 15% after taking

into account the costs of doing business and bad debt expenses.

Typical Advance

An owner of a restaurant which processes approximately $30,000 of debit/creditcard sales per month receives a merchant cash advance of $23,000 in exchange

for $30,000 worth of future debit/credit card sales collected using a 10%withholding. Merchant Advance Capital then withholds 10% of all debit/credit cardtransactions until it receives $30,000, which in this example would takeapproximately 10 months. Once the restaurant owner has repaid a significantportion of the payback amount, he is eligible for a renewal.

The owner personally guarantees the $30,000 and the advance is collateralized

against the assets of the business. 8
