The Direct Fund Program
A Direct Alternative to Bank Loans
How It Works
A merchant cash advance provides upfront capital in exchange for a fixed daily or weekly remittance, calculated against your business's revenue at the time of funding. Your repayment amount is set at origination and stays consistent for the term of the advance — a clear, predictable schedule to plan around.
Whether your business is upgrading specialty food production facilities, gearing up for ski season, purchasing agricultural equipment, or expanding retail inventory, Smart Business Funding's MCA solutions help you access working capital fast.
