Why Use Alternative Funding

One of the main reasons most businesses fail is a lack of cash flow. Cash is the main resource for supporting growth and all too often, there isn't enough of it around to support activities that ensure growth and sustainability, such as:

• Increasing product offerings
• Adding seasonal merchandise
• Meeting unexpected maintenance or other business expenses
• Purchasing new equipment
• Buying a business or buying out a partner
• Implementing renovations
• Expanding your facility or adding new locations

Securing traditional bank financing may not be an option either because of a lack of sufficient collateral or other reasons. Under these conditions, allocating a portion of future credit card sales to receive needed working capital now can be an ideal solution.

How it Works

To take advantage of Alternative Funding options, your business "sells" a fixed dollar amount of its future sales at a discount. This amount is then advanced to your business as working capital and satisfied over time as a fixed percentage of future sales.

Benefits of Alternative Funding

In addition to the benefit of being able to obtain the working capital that you need to take advantage of current growth opportunities, using Alternative Funding also offers the following advantages:

No fixed payments No fixed timeframe

Complete process automation Pay only as you get paid
