What is Merchant Cash Advance?

A Merchant Cash Advance (MCA) offers upfront funds to businesses in exchange for a percentage of future card sales. It’s a fast, flexible solution designed for businesses with fluctuating revenue, providing funding without the need for collateral or perfect credit.

How MCA Works?

A Merchant Cash Advance provides a lump sum upfront, which you repay through a small percentage of your daily card sales. Payments adjust automatically based on how much your business earns—when sales are high, you pay more, and during slower periods, you pay less. No fixed schedules or complex terms.

Benefits of Merchant Cash Advances for Barber Shops

Merchant Cash Advances (MCA) provide barber shops with a fast, flexible, and hassle-free funding solution tailored to their unique needs. Whether you’re expanding, upgrading equipment, or managing seasonal cash flow, an MCA offers several advantages:

Flexible Repayments – Aligned with Your Sales

Repay a small percentage of your daily card sales automatically. No fixed monthly payments mean you pay more during busy periods and less when sales slow down, ensuring stable cash flow.

Compatible with Your Card Machine

No need for additional equipment or setup. MCA integrates with your existing PDQ card machine, making repayment effortless and convenient through your card sales.

Get Funded in Just 24 Hours

Access funding quickly with streamlined approvals. Once approved, your funds—ranging from £3,000 to £300,000—can be in your account within 24 hours, so you can act fast on business opportunities.

Unsecured and Stress-Free

MCAs are unsecured, so your business assets remain safe. Approval is based on your sales history, not your credit score or collateral, making it a stress-free option for funding.

Keep 100% of Cash Transactions

Only card sales are used for repayment. Your cash earnings remain untouched, allowing you to manage cash flow effectively and without added strain.

No Hidden Fees

All costs are clearly outlined upfront. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying, with no hidden charges, confusing APRs, or surprises.

Fast, Flexible Funding Solutions for Your Restaurant

Flexible Financing to Elevate Your Barber Shop

The UK barbering industry is thriving, contributing over £3.4 billion each year, with more than 43,000 barber shops across the country. Barber shops are busier than ever, with 65% of UK men getting their hair cut at least once a month, spending around £20–£30 per visit. Trends like premium grooming products, beard styling, and hair treatments are also boosting business.

To stay competitive, barber shops need to keep improving. Using top-quality clippers, razors, and styling tools makes your services better. Adding more barber chairs or upgrading your shop with modern furniture can attract more customers. Running special offers, loyalty programs, or ads on social media helps bring in new clients and keep regular ones happy.

A Merchant Cash Advance can help you get the money you need to grow. It’s easy to apply, and repayments are based on your daily card sales, so you pay more when you’re busy and less during quieter times. Use the funds to upgrade your shop, expand your services, or prepare for busy periods without worrying about fixed payments. It’s the support you need to keep your barber shop thriving and ahead of the competition.
