What is a Farming Business Advance?
A farming business advance is a type of merchant cash advance (MCA) created for farming businesses, including crop production, livestock farming, agricultural machinery, farm equipment, and ranching.
Your farming business sells a portion of its future credit card translation sales to MCashAdvance in exchange for an upfront lump sum of funds called a cash advance.
In exchange, we will deduct a small percentage of your daily sales revenue until the advance and MCA fee is fully repaid.
