Sometimes your business needs some extra finance fast but you worry about the time it may take to get a loan from a bank. In this article, we’ll look at what a cash advance loan is and where you can access it.

How does it Work?

If your business takes in a significant portion of income through their card machine this is a good option for you, as it requires you to make the repayments through the card machine at a particular rate, and is repaid through an agreed percentage of future card takings.

What are the Benefits?

• It’s easy to apply. You simply apply online and provide the relevant documentation,
• The process is quick. As this is all handled online, it makes the process a lot quicker and
• No security is required, meaning there is no risk of losing shares when repaying the loan.

Once you agree to the terms required of you, the merchant company will simply purchase future credit and/or debit card receipts.

What Makes them Different from other Lending Platforms?

Cash advance loans can have high interest rates attached to them, so what makes GRID Finance different? Well, they perform a credit check and provide you with a GRID Score.

This makes it a lower risk for GRID, which makes it more competitive for you and guarantees you don’t pay more than you can afford.
