Asked and Answered: Merchant Cash Advances FAQ'sAs a small business owner, you know that funding is a vital part of maintaining a thriving business. With countless improvements to make, inventory to buy, and even bumps in the road, situations arise that leave business owners grasping at straws, trying to figure out where they will find funding. Since finding funding can be a scary time for any business owner, we’ve put together our most commonly asked questions to help make your decision a little bit easier.

Is A Merchant Cash Advance A Loan?

No. Technically, Quikstone Capital purchases a portion of your future card sales. We provide the merchant with a cash advance and, in return, receive a percentage of their future card sales.

After you receive your advance, Quikstone Capital will deduct a percentage from your daily card sales. The payment happens automatically, so there are no monthly billing statements, invoices, payment coupons, or checks for you to write.

I've Been Turned Down For A Loan By My Bank. Will Quikstone Capital Be Able To Help Me?

Quikstone Capital often provides cash advances to small businesses that traditional lenders have turned down. We are more flexible than banks in terms of the types of businesses we work with, the purpose for which the funds will be used, the credit history of the business, and the owners of the business. Unlike banks, Quikstone Capital has greater flexibility when it comes to reviewing past credit experience. Past credit problems can typically be overcome by demonstrating current business strength and a strong likelihood of continued good business trends.

Can My Business Keep Its Current Credit Card Processor?

Possibly, but you may find it more advantageous for your business to switch to one of our processing partners. These partners offer a number of tools to help you manage your business and make more money. To find out if your current credit card processor is partnered with Quikstone Capital, contact us at (866) 456-5638

What Happens If My Sales Slowdown Or Speed Up After Funding Occurs?

A merchant cash advance is structured to accommodate varying sales. Quikstone Capital’s payment is a fixed percentage of your daily sales, and payment amounts rise and fall with your sales. When sales slow, the dollar amount of the deduction is reduced, while when sales increase, the dollar amount of the deduction is increased.

Are There Any Additional Fees And Or Costs Involved In Getting My Cash Advance?

Quikstone does not charge any application fees. We also do not charge any origination fees. Our contract is 2 pages compared to most of our competitors’ contracts, which are 5 or more pages. We believe in being completely transparent. Your success is our success!
