Business Cash Advance
Daily revenue, daily repayment, no fixed schedule.
A business cash advance provides a lump sum of capital in exchange for a percentage of your future daily card sales. Repayment flexes with your revenue, when sales are strong you pay more per day, when they're soft you pay less.

FAQs about BCA
The questions we hear most.
01How is a BCA different from a loan?
How is a BCA different from a loan?
A BCA is legally a purchase of future receivables, not a loan. There is no APR, only a fixed factor rate and a total repayment amount that is disclosed upfront.
02What happens if my card sales drop?
What happens if my card sales drop?
Your daily remittance is a fixed percentage of card sales, so the dollar amount moves with your revenue. The total repayment amount doesn't change, just the time to satisfy it.
03Can I switch card processors?
Can I switch card processors?
Any change to your merchant processor must be coordinated with ICG in advance. Un-notified switches can trigger default under the funding agreement.
04Is a BCA right for me?
Is a BCA right for me?
BCAs are best for card-heavy businesses (restaurants, retail) with shorter capital needs (under 12 months). For longer-term or lower-cost capital, a term loan or revenue-based funding may fit better.
