What is a Gun Dealer Business Advance?
A gun dealer business advance is a type of merchant cash advance (MCA) created for gun dealer businesses, including firearm retailers, shooting ranges, and gun repair services.
Your gun dealer business sells a portion of its revenue 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 is fully repaid.
