A revenue advance, also known as a merchant cash advance, is not a loan, rather it is an alternative source of fast working capital for your business via a purchase of a portion of your future revenues. Those revenues could be via payment card receivables for example, or other regular revenue streams your business receives. Unlike a loan that will require a fixed monthly payment amount, your business will only make flexible daily remittances to repay the revenue advance, based on a percentage of actual future receivables.
