However, like many business owners, you might not have the upfront cash required to [see your growth opportunity through to fruition](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/proactive-owners-drive-small-business-growth). ### A Merchant Cash Advance ![Can Your Small Business Afford To Grow?

This is especially true if your project requires a fast turn-around or your business doesn’t meet lenders’ strict requirements. In these cases, a [merchant cash advance](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/business-cash-advances-business-loan-alternative) may be a solution. A merchant cash advance is a cash infusion that is paid directly to your business. Typically, a merchant cash advance can be obtained without lengthy credit checks and application processes. This is because a reputable funding partner will look beyond your bank statement to determine if you qualify. They will evaluate your daily credit card business and your planned project and will work closely with you to find solutions that are in your best interest. Moreover, once you’ve obtained funding, you repay your merchant cash advance as a percentage of your daily credit card sales, so you don’t have to worry about minimum payments and due dates. With the right project and [the right funding partner](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/your-funding-partner), you can seize the opportunity to grow your business. When choosing a project consider the investment required and the long-term return. And, when obtaining funding, choose a partner that cares about your success.[![Apply Now](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/311686/80301c72-5c02-40d0-9d7d-d3c9fae0e8fc.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/311686/80301c72-5c02-40d0-9d7d-d3c9fae0e8fc) Topics: [Merchant Cash Advance](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/merchant-cash-advance) #### Category/Topic - [Small Business (268)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/small-business) - [Restaurant (255)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/restaurant) - [Growing Your Business (191)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/growing-your-business) - [Funding Your Business (147)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/funding-your-business) - [Holiday (110)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/holiday) - [Merchant Cash Advance (93)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/merchant-cash-advance) - [Retail (70)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/retail) - [Business Cash Advance (59)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/business-cash-advance) - [Bakery (52)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/bakery) - [Specialty Retail (52)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/specialty-retail) - [Catering (49)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/catering) - [Salon and Day Spa (46)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/salon-and-day-spa) - [Auto shops (41)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/auto-shops) - [Grow Your Business (33)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/grow-your-business) - [Liquor Store (31)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/liquor-store) - [Marketing (25)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/marketing) - [Ecommerce (21)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/ecommerce) - [About us (20)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/about-us) - [Mobile (11)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/mobile) - [Cash for Businesses (10)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/cash-for-businesses) - [Dental Office (9)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/dental-office) - [Coffee Shop (8)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/coffee-shop) - [Veterinary (5)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/veterinary) - [PCI compliance (3)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/pci-compliance) - [Pool Service (2)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/pool-service) [See More](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/can-your-small-business-afford-to-grow-a-merchant-cash-advance-can-help#) [![Alternative Funding](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/311686/b9359813-7020-4f5e-828a-adacff883647.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/311686/b9359813-7020-4f5e-828a-adacff883647) [![Merchant Cash Advance](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/hs-fs/hubfs/_Website/Logos/Web-Combo-2.png?width=738&name=Web-Combo-2.png "Merchant Cash Advance")](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/) Quikstone Capital provides business loan alternatives to get your business the cash it needs to grow and prosper.
