Smart Business Funding provides direct merchant cash advances for Alaska companies, from Anchorage to Fairbanks, with funding usually 24 to 48 hours from application.

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, even during a short operating season.
Whether your business is gearing up for peak season, covering a supply delay, or managing an unexpected repair, Smart Business Funding's MCA solutions help you access capital quickly, without the extended timeline of a bank application.
