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 bridging government contract payment cycles, expanding IT infrastructure, purchasing maritime logistics equipment, or gearing up for tourist season, Smart Business Funding's MCA solutions help you access working capital fast.
